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.

FAQ

Questions European Central Bank owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect this MCP to Claude or Cursor?

    You connect once through the Vinkius interface. Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages the connection, making it ready to use in any compatible client.

  • 02

    Does this MCP provide real-time ECB data?

    Yes, it provides access to the current key policy rates and MFI rates as reported by the European Central Bank.

  • 03

    Can I get the bank lending rates as well as the policy rates?

    Yes, the get_mfi_rates capability provides the bank lending and deposit rates used to track monetary policy transmission.

  • 04

    What is the interest rate corridor?

    The corridor is the range between the Marginal Lending Facility Rate (the ceiling) and the Deposit Facility Rate (the floor).

  • 05

    Do I need to provide my own API keys for the ECB?

    No, Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages all necessary connections and credentials for you.

  • 06

    What is the difference between MRO and DFR?

    MRO (Main Refinancing Operations) is the rate at which banks can borrow from the ECB for one week. DFR (Deposit Facility Rate) is the rate banks earn on overnight deposits. Since 2019, DFR has become the de facto benchmark for money markets in the eurozone.

  • 07

    Does this server also track commercial bank interest rates?

    Yes, it provides access to MFI (Monetary Financial Institutions) lending and deposit rates, which reflect the commercial banks' rates passed on to households and non-financial corporations.

  • 08

    Are the rates updated immediately after the ECB Governing Council decisions?

    Yes, the official policy rates (MRO, DFR, MLFR) are updated in the ECB's Statistical Data Warehouse generally very shortly after the official announcement by the Governing Council.
