How does this MCP handle overlapping childcare sessions?

The calculate_total_care_hours capability specifically accounts for overlaps so that the total unique time is accurate and doesn't double-count the same hour.

Can I use this with Claude Desktop?

Yes, you can connect this MCP to Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or any other MCP-compatible client.

A care tier is a classification, such as Part-time or Full-time, determined by the total number of hours a child is under care.

Does this MCP host the data?

No, you provide the scheduling data to your AI client, and the MCP provides the capabilities to process that data.

Can I see how many hours each provider worked?

Yes, the summarize_care_by_provider capability aggregates the total hours for each distinct provider in your data.

How does the capability handle overlapping childcare sessions?

The calculate_total_care_hours capability calculates the union of all time intervals. This ensures that if two sessions overlap, the overlapping period is only counted once toward the total hours.

What are the care tiers?

Care tiers (such as Part-time or Full-time) are determined by the total hours provided, which can be checked using the get_care_tier_status capability.

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.

How Vinkius works: one connection, every tool, in any AI

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.
