How do I use this MCP with my AI?

You connect to the MCP through the Vinkius platform. Once connected, you can use it directly within any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

Can this help me if my tension is too tight?

Yes. You can use the comparison capability to confirm your tension is tighter than the pattern and then use the conversion capabilities to adjust your stitch and row counts accordingly.

What information do I need to provide?

You will need to provide the pattern's gauge and your own measured gauge in stitches or rows per inch/cm.

Does this work for knitting too?

The capability is specifically designed for crochet gauge, though the mathematical principles of gauge conversion are similar.

Will this tell me how many inches my project will be?

Yes, you can use the conversion capabilities to find the specific stitch or row counts required to achieve a target inch measurement.

How do I use this to fix a pattern that is too small?

If your project is too small, your gauge is likely tighter than the pattern. Use convert_stitch_count with your user gauge to calculate the higher number of stitches needed to reach the target width.

What is gauge in crochet?

Gauge is the number of stitches and rows that fit into a specific unit of measurement, such as 4 inches. It determines the density of your crochet fabric.

Can I use this for knitting too?

While designed for crochet, the mathematical principles of gauge adjustment apply to knitting as well.

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.

02
Convert row count
Calculates the exact number of rows needed to reach your target height based on your specific gauge.
03
Convert stitch count
Determines the required number of stitches to hit a target width using your personal tension measurements.
04
Get gauge comparison
Compares your tension to the pattern's tension to tell you if you are working tighter or looser than the designer.

Real work

What teams actually run

Scaling Blankets

Adjust the stitch count of a blanket pattern so it reaches the exact width you want based on your tension.

Garment Fitting

Calculate how many rows are needed to reach a specific torso length when your gauge is different from the designer's.

Tension Checking

Compare your swatch results to a pattern to see if you need to change hooks or tension.

Size Deviation Planning

One connector, every AI

Crochet Gauge Converter 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 Crochet Gauge Converter 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.
