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.

Who it's for

Built for the work Decodo (Smartproxy) owners hand off.

This MCP is for technical users managing large scale web scraping or network operations.

  • 01

    Data Engineers

    They use the agent to pull endpoint metrics and check pool activity while writing scrapers.

  • 02

    Network Admins

    They use the agent to list dedicated networks and diagnose rate-limiting issues.

  • 03

    SaaS Operators

    They use the agent to monitor sub-user bandwidth and account health.

FAQ

Questions Decodo (Smartproxy) owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my Decodo account?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your Smartproxy API Key. Once connected, your AI client can immediately start using the capabilities.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

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

  • 03

    Can I check my data limits?

    Yes. You can use the get_traffic_usage capability to see how much bandwidth you have consumed compared to your total quota.

  • 04

    Does this work with residential proxies?

    Yes. The MCP includes capabilities to list and manage residential, datacenter, and dedicated proxy configurations.

  • 05

    Can I monitor my scraper's performance?

    Yes. The get_scraper_stats capability provides success rates and hit counts for your scraping APIs.

  • 06

    Can the AI generate a script with my actual proxy endpoints already inserted?

    Yes. While prompting inside an IDE like Cursor, you can ask 'Write a Python script using my residential proxy endpoint.' The AI agent will call list_residential_proxies in the background, harvest the legit port numbers, and assemble runnable code on the spot.

  • 07

    Is it safe to pull network architecture metrics inside Claude AI?

    Absolutely secure. The MCP protocol bridges interactions locally. At no setup phase does Vinkius cloud servers retrieve your Smartproxy metrics directly—the exchange passes via your local agent bridging right into Decodo's endpoint.

  • 08

    Can it tell me my remaining bandwidth limit?

    Yes. Ask the bot 'How much target data do I have left?' and it will orchestrate the results of both get_account_details (which returns quota details) and get_traffic_usage (which exposes used data) to compute the remaining bytes in conversational form.
