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 Cooling Cost Comparator.

  1. 01

    Compare cooling costs

    This capability runs a side-by-side analysis between a fan scenario and an AC scenario to find the cheapest option.

  2. 02

    Get ac scenario

    This capability pulls the specific configuration and cost data for a defined air conditioning setup.

  3. 03

    Get energy efficiency ratio

    This capability calculates the ratio of energy consumption between two different cooling devices.

  4. 04

    Get fan scenario

    This capability retrieves the configuration and cost details for a specific fan setup.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Summer Budgeting

Decide if running the AC all day is worth the electricity spike compared to using fans.

02

Appliance Purchasing

Compare the long-term cost of a high-efficiency AC against a cheaper, less efficient model.

03

Energy Auditing

Determine the power consumption difference between different cooling configurations.

04

Cost-Benefit Analysis

Evaluate if the comfort of an AC unit justifies its higher electricity demand over a fan.

One connector, every AI

Cooling Cost Comparator 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 Cooling Cost Comparator 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.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 4 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 Cooling Cost Comparator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

    They use the capability to project long-term energy expenditures for various equipment.

FAQ

Questions Cooling Cost Comparator owners ask.

  • 01

    What can this MCP compare?

    It compares the financial and energy impact of using fans versus air conditioning units.

  • 02

    Does it calculate electricity costs?

    Yes, it calculates electricity costs based on the wattage of the device and your local electricity rate.

  • 03

    Can I use this with Claude?

    Yes, you can use this MCP with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 04

    What is the TCO calculation?

    The capability calculates the Total Cost of Ownership, which includes the device cost and the electricity used over time.

  • 05

    How does it handle energy efficiency?

    It uses a specific capability to calculate the ratio of energy consumption between two different devices.

  • 06

    How does the capability calculate the total cost?

    The capability calculates the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by summing the purchase cost, the total maintenance cost, and the electricity cost derived from wattage and runtime.

  • 07

    Can I compare different electricity prices?

    Yes, you can provide any electricity price per kWh to see how it affects the total cost of your cooling options.

  • 08

    What is the difference between a fan and an AC in terms of power?

    You can use get_energy_efficiency_ratio to find exactly how many times more power an AC unit consumes compared to a fan.
