Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 3 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Ceramic Calculator.

  1. 01

    Calculate clay dimensions

    This capability calculates the wet dimensions you need to throw or build to hit a specific target size after shrinkage.

  2. 02

    Calculate glaze requirements

    Use this to find the exact mass and ideal density of glaze for dipping or spraying.

  3. 03

    Get firing parameters

    This capability provides the recommended bisque and glaze firing temperature ranges for different clay types.

Real work

What teams actually run

Get the correct temperature ranges for bisque and glaze firings for your specific clay body.

04

Material Management

Use glaze density calculations to ensure consistent coating thickness.

One connector, every AI

Ceramic Calculator works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Ceramic Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Ceramic Calculator. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
