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 · 4 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Cut-Off Grade Optimization.

  1. 01

    Simulate production schedule

    This capability projects how mining and processing activities will sequence over time based on your chosen grade.

  2. 02

    Calculate break even grade

    Use this to find the minimum grade required to cover all incremental processing costs.

  3. 03

    Evaluate stockpile viability

    This capability decides whether low-grade material should be sent to a stockpile or discarded as waste.

  4. 04

    Optimize cut off grade

    This capability identifies the specific grade that maximizes the Net Present Value of your entire operation.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Grade Optimization

Find the exact cut-off grade that maximizes NPV for a specific metal price and recovery rate.

02

Production Planning

Model how a chosen grade will impact the sequence of mining activities over the life of the mine.

03

Waste Management

Determine if low-grade material is worth the cost of stockpiling or if it should be discarded.

04

Profitability Testing

Calculate break-even grades to ensure processing stays profitable under changing cost structures.

One connector, every AI

Cut-Off Grade Optimization 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 Cut-Off Grade Optimization 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 Cut-Off Grade Optimization, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

Who it's for

Built for the work Cut-Off Grade Optimization owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals managing the economic lifecycle of an ore body.

  • 01

    Mining Engineers

    They hand off geological and cost data to the AI to refine grade strategies.

  • 02

    Financial Analysts

    They use the agent to run sensitivity analyses on NPV and cash flows.

  • 03

    Mine Planners

    They use the capability to simulate how different grades affect the production sequence.

FAQ

Questions Cut-Off Grade Optimization owners ask.

  • 01

    What can this MCP do for my mining operations?

    It provides capabilities to optimize cut-off grades, calculate break-even points, simulate production schedules, and evaluate stockpile viability.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

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

  • 03

    How does it help with NPV?

    The optimize_cut_off_grade capability identifies the specific grade that maximizes the Net Present Value of your operation.

  • 04

    Do I need to host the MCP myself?

    No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use immediately after you connect.

  • 05

    Can it help decide what to do with low-grade ore?

    Yes, the evaluate_stockpile_viability capability determines if low-grade material should be stockpiled or sent to waste.

  • 06

    How does this capability help maximize NPV?

    It uses optimize_cut_off_grade to find the ideal balance between immediate high-grade production and long-term mine value, accounting for opportunity costs.

  • 07

    Can I simulate my mine's production over time?

    Yes, the simulate_production_schedule capability allows you to project annual ore tonnage, metal production, and cash flow based on your chosen cut-off grade.

  • 08

    What is the difference between break-even and optimal grade?

    The break-even grade, found via calculate_break_even_grade, is the minimum to cover costs. The optimal grade is typically higher as it accounts for the opportunity cost of delaying future cash flows.
