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.

FAQ

Questions Character Appearance Counter owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP handle different names for the same person?

    It uses name variant grouping to treat different versions of a name as a single entity, which keeps your counts accurate.

  • 02

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

    Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    Does it work for a single chapter or a whole book?

    It does both. You can get counts for specific chapters or aggregate totals for the entire book.

  • 04

    What if my character names are inconsistent?

    You can use the verify_name_integrity capability to check if your name variants are suitable for processing.

  • 05

    Do I need to host this myself?

    No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use immediately after connection.

  • 06

    How does the capability handle different names for the same character?

    You can provide a list of name variants using get_chapter_counts. The capability will sum the occurrences of all provided variants to give you a single total for that character.

  • 07

    Can I get a summary of character presence across the whole book?

    Yes, use get_chapter_summary to receive a detailed breakdown of counts per chapter and the overall total.

  • 08

    What should I do if my character names have extra spaces?

    You can use verify_name_integrity to validate and sanitize your list of name variants before performing counts.
