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.

Curated set · 3 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

Part of 3 available through Culinary Unit Converter.

01
Convert volume
This capability changes a value from one volumetric unit to another. It handles everything from cups and tablespoons to milliliters and pinches.
02
Get unit details
This capability provides metadata and usage context for specific culinary units. It's useful for understanding the standard volume or typical use of a measurement.
03
Estimate mass
This capability calculates the estimated weight in grams for a specific volume. It adjusts the calculation based on whether the ingredient is liquid, granulated, or solid.

Real work

What teams actually run

Recipe Scaling

Your agent converts a recipe designed for 4 people into a version for 12 by adjusting all volumetric units.

Metric Conversion

An AI client converts an old American recipe using cups and ounces into metric milliliters and grams.

Weight Estimation

You ask your agent how much a specific volume of flour weighs so you can use a kitchen scale.

Unit Clarification

Your agent looks up the standard volume of a pinch or a teaspoon to ensure recipe accuracy.

Automate a task

Put Culinary Unit Converter to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Culinary Unit 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 Culinary Unit 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.
