What is negative compression?

Negative compression occurs when the compressed version of the text is actually larger than the original. This capability identifies these instances using the efficiency tier capability.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

Do I need to host this myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and start using the capabilities.

How does it calculate token savings?

The get_compression_metrics capability compares the token counts of the original and compressed text to find the exact savings.

Can it verify if my compression worked correctly?

Yes, the validate_compression_integrity capability checks if the compressed text is a valid representation of the original's properties.

How are tokens calculated?

Tokens are estimated by dividing the character length of the string by four.

Can I use this with Claude Desktop?

Yes, this MCP server can be connected to Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and any other MCP-compatible client via Vinkius Edge.

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

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Compression Ratio Calculator.

01
Summarize efficiency tier
This capability categorizes your compression results into human-readable tiers. It tells you if your results fall into High Efficiency or if you've hit Negative Compression.
02
Get compression metrics
This capability calculates the full suite of compression statistics. It returns token counts, ratios, and savings percentages for any pair of original and compressed text.
03
Validate compression integrity
This capability checks if your compressed text is a valid representation of the original. It ensures the properties of the input remain consistent after compression.

Real work

What teams actually run

Prompt Optimization

Test different ways to shorten long instructions to see which one saves the most tokens.

Data Payload Auditing

Verify the compression ratios of text datasets before transmission.

Context Window Management

Check how much space you can reclaim in a limited context window by compressing input text.

Algorithm Testing

Compare the efficiency of different text shortening methods using standardized metrics.

One connector, every AI

Compression Ratio Calculator 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 Compression Ratio Calculator 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.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 3 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 Compression Ratio Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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