How do I connect my ChangeDetection.io instance?

You just need to provide your instance URL and API Key after subscribing to the MCP on Vinkius.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Can I see what specifically changed on a page?

Yes, you can ask your agent to get the snapshot diff to see the exact differences between versions.

Can I organize my monitors?

Yes, you can create and manage tags to categorize your watches for better organization.

Does this work with my existing ChangeDetection.io setup?

Yes, this MCP connects directly to your existing instance using your API credentials.

Can I see exactly what text changed on a page between the last two checks?

Yes! Use the get_snapshot_diff capability with the watch UUID. It will return the specific differences between the current state and the previous snapshot.

How do I trigger an immediate recheck of a specific website?

You can use the get_watch capability and set the recheck parameter to '1'. This forces the server to fetch the latest version of the page immediately.

Absolutely. When using list_watches, you can provide a tag name to filter the results and only see monitors associated with that specific category.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

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.

V8 Isolate01

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.

Automate a task

Put ChangeDetection.io to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

ChangeDetection.io 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.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put ChangeDetection.io to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 14 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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