How does this MCP handle different preparation methods?

It uses specific physics for stirred, shaken, or blended drinks to determine how much water is added to the final volume.

Can I use this to check if my recipe is realistic?

Yes, the validate_recipe_integrity capability checks if a recipe follows standard cocktail logic and is physically possible.

What kind of clients can I use this with?

You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Does it calculate ABV?

Yes, it calculates the final alcohol-by-volume based on the ingredients and the dilution that occurs during preparation.

Is there a way to get temperature targets?

Yes, the get_dilution_guidelines capability provides temperature targets based on your chosen preparation method.

How does the dilution calculation work?

The capability applies empirical dilution rates: 30% for stirred, 40% for shaken, and 50% for blended drinks. For layered drinks, no dilution is applied.

Can I check if my recipe is valid?

Yes, you can use the validate_recipe_integrity capability to check for negative volumes, invalid ABV values, or excessive total volumes.

What information do I need to provide?

You need to provide a list of ingredients (name, volume, and ABV), the preparation method (stirred, shaken, blended, or layered), and whether the drink is layered.

How do I calculate the water needed for a Negroni?

You can use the calculate_dilution_volume capability by providing the total volume of your gin, vermouth, and bitters as the base volume, and your target dilution percentage.

Can I estimate how much ice I need to melt?

Yes, use the estimate_ice_melt_volume capability to convert your required dilution volume into the estimated weight of ice needed.

How do I check if my cocktail is balanced?

Use the validate_recipe_balance capability to input your base volume, dilution volume, and target percentage to see if they match.

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.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Cocktail Dilution Engine.

01
Calculate dilution volume
Determines how much water/ice is needed to hit a specific dilution target
02
Estimate ice melt volume
Converts a target dilution volume into a weight of ice, assuming standard ice melting properties
03
Validate recipe balance
Checks if a proposed set of volumes (base and dilution) matches a specific target dilution percentage
04
Calculate total from target
Determines the required base volume if the user knows their final desired cocktail volume and target dilution

Real work

What teams actually run

Standardizing Recipes

Ensure every bartender produces a drink with the exact same ABV and volume.

New Drink Creation

Test how different spirit strengths affect the final dilution of a new cocktail.

Menu Engineering

Verify that high-volume recipes remain physically possible to serve.

Training Capabilities

Use the dilution guidelines to teach staff the difference between shaking and stirring.

One connector, every AI

Cocktail Dilution Engine 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 Cocktail Dilution Engine 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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