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.

One connector, every AI

CS-Cart 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 CS-Cart 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 CS-Cart, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

  • 02

    Marketplace Operators

    They use the agent to manage large lists of vendors and verify seller statuses.

  • 03

    Customer Support

    They use the agent to quickly pull up order and shipping info to resolve customer inquiries.

    They use the agent to verify tax rules and reconcile order totals.

FAQ

Questions CS-Cart owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my CS-Cart store?

    You need your Store URL, Admin Email, and the API Key found in your CS-Cart User Profile under the API Access tab. Once you enter these into Vinkius, you can connect your AI client.

  • 02

    Does this work with Multi-Vendor editions?

    Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages your credentials securely, allowing your AI client to communicate with your store via the official API.

  • 06

    Can my agent list vendors in the CS-Cart Multi-Vendor edition?

    Yes. The 'list_vendors' capability retrieves active seller companies operating on your marketplace. This allows your agent to audit vendor profiles and verify operational boundaries across your Multi-Vendor installation.

  • 07

    How do I check the details of a specific order via chat?

    Provide the order ID to your agent and use the 'get_order' capability. The agent will retrieve the exact line items, billing/shipping addresses, and payment details from the CS-Cart database.

  • 08

    Can I audit my store's tax and shipping configurations?

    Absolutely. Use the 'list_shippings' and 'list_taxes' capabilities. Your agent will pull the explicitly configured delivery options, carrier rates, and VAT rules to help you verify your e-commerce settings strictly.
