What data does the MCP need for survival estimates?

The agent needs the individual's weight, body fat percentage, water temperature, and wetsuit thickness.

Can I compare two different people in the same water temperature?

Yes, you can use the comparison capability to see how different physical profiles affect survival time in the same conditions.

Does this MCP work with Claude?

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

What is swim failure?

Swim failure is one of the critical survival milestones calculated by the capability, representing the point where a person can no longer stay afloat.

How does it handle wetsuit thickness?

The capability evaluates how much neoprene insulation mitigates heat loss compared to having no suit at all.

How does body fat affect survival estimates?

Higher body fat percentages provide more natural insulation, which slows the rate of heat loss and extends the estimated survival time.

Can I include wetsuit thickness in my calculations?

Yes, you can use get_survival_estimates or get_risk_level with the wetsuitThickness parameter to account for neoprene insulation.

What is the difference between hypothermia onset and swim failure?

Hypothermia onset is when core temperature begins to drop below normal, while swim failure is the point where muscle coordination is lost, making movement impossible.

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 Cold Water Survival.

01
Compare scenarios
This capability compares two different physiological or environmental setups. It shows you which configuration provides more survival time.
02
Get insulation impact
This capability evaluates how much a wetsuit's thickness mitigates heat loss. It compares the insulation to a scenario with no suit.
03
Get risk level
This capability categorizes immediate danger levels. It uses water temperature and insulation data to determine the risk.
04
Get survival estimates
This capability calculates all critical survival milestones. It models specific individuals based on their unique physical traits and water conditions.

Real work

What teams actually run

Rescue Window Planning

A technician uses the agent to determine how much time they have before a person in the water reaches swim failure.

Gear Selection

A diver compares different wetsuit thicknesses to see which one provides the most survival time in a specific temperature.

Safety Briefings

A safety officer uses the risk level capability to decide if conditions are too dangerous for a planned operation.

Comparative Physiology

A researcher compares how different body fat percentages affect survival in freezing water.

One connector, every AI

Cold Water Survival 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 Cold Water Survival 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 Cold Water Survival, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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