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

DingTalk works with the most popular AI clients.

FAQ

Questions DingTalk owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect this MCP to my DingTalk account?

    You subscribe through Vinkius and enter your DingTalk App Key and App Secret. Once connected, you can use it immediately in any MCP-compatible client.

  • 02

    Can I send messages to multiple people at once?

    Yes, you can send work notifications or markdown messages to multiple user IDs by separating them with commas in your request.

  • 03

    What kind of messages can the AI send?

    The agent can send plain text work notifications or rich markdown messages that support bolding, italics, and hyperlinks.

  • 04

    Can I track the status of a request I just submitted?

    Yes, after creating an approval instance, you can use the capability to check if it is pending, approved, or rejected.

  • 05

    Do I need to use the DingTalk app to see the results?

    No, you can perform most management tasks, such as checking attendance or querying users, directly through your AI client.

  • 06

    How do I get my DingTalk App Key and App Secret?

    Log in to the DingTalk Developer Console, create an Internal Enterprise Application, then navigate to App Information > Credentials to find your AppKey and AppSecret. Make sure your application has the required API permissions (User Management, Department Management, Attendance, Approval) before using these capabilities.

  • 07

    Can I send messages to external contacts or only internal employees?

    This MCP server uses Internal Enterprise Application authentication, which means it can only send messages to users within your organization's DingTalk tenant. For external contacts or customer notifications, you would need a different DingTalk application type with extended permissions. All user IDs must belong to employees in your enterprise directory.

  • 08

    How does the attendance tracking work? What data can I retrieve?

    The attendance capability retrieves check-in/check-out records from DingTalk's attendance system. For each record, you get the user ID, timestamp, checkout type (上班签到=check-in, 下班签退=check-out), location information, and whether the attendance was normal or abnormal (late, early leave, missing punch). Date ranges are specified in YYYY-MM-DD format. This data integrates with DingTalk's physical attendance devices and mobile check-in features.
