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

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Energy Efficiency Estimator.

  1. 01

    Query orientation bias

    This capability determines if your building's cardinal orientation provides a passive energy benefit or a detriment. It adjusts your thermal score based on solar gain and loss.

  2. 02

    Query improvement recommendations

    This capability generates a prioritized list of upgrades to fix specific building envelope deficiencies. It uses your A-E classification to suggest the most effective next steps.

  3. 03

    Query structure thermal score

    This capability calculates the raw thermal performance index for a residential structure. It uses component metrics like wall thickness and U-values to find your base score.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Pre-Renovation Planning

Determine if you should focus on windows or insulation before buying materials.

02

Property Valuation

Get an immediate energy performance score for a home you are considering buying.

03

Climate Adaptation

Analyze how a North-facing orientation in a specific region affects thermal loss.

04

Efficiency Auditing

Compare different building materials by checking their impact on the thermal index.

Automate a task

Put Energy Efficiency Estimator 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

Energy Efficiency Estimator 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 Energy Efficiency Estimator 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.

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 3 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 Energy Efficiency Estimator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Energy Efficiency Estimator. 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 Energy Efficiency Estimator owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals who need to quantify building performance without the cost of a full-scale manual audit.

  • 01

    Real Estate Professionals

    Use the A-E ratings to provide quick energy performance context for property listings.

  • 02

    Home Renovation Consultants

    Hand off structural data to the AI to generate prioritized repair lists for clients.

  • 03

    Energy Auditors

    Use the capability to verify thermal indices and orientation biases during field assessments.

FAQ

Questions Energy Efficiency Estimator owners ask.

  • 01

    What kind of data do I need to provide?

    You'll need building envelope metrics such as wall thickness, U-values, and window SHGC values.

  • 02

    How is the energy rating determined?

    The rating is a result of the Thermal Performance Index, which factors in structural components and cardinal orientation.

  • 03

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

    Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf via Vinkius.

  • 04

    Does this account for the direction the house faces?

    Yes, the query_orientation_bias capability specifically adjusts the score based on passive solar gain or loss.

  • 05

    Will this tell me what to fix first?

    Yes, the query_improvement_recommendations capability provides a prioritized list of upgrades based on your specific deficiencies.

  • 06

    What inputs are needed to get the initial score?

    The core metrics include total heated area, wall thickness, and combined U-values. The query_structure_thermal_score capability uses these inputs to generate the raw thermal index.

  • 07

    Does my home's direction matter for the score?

    Yes. The query_orientation_bias capability accounts for passive solar gain and wind loads (e.g., South-East vs. North). This factor modifies the score to give a regionally accurate assessment.

  • 08

    How do I know what to fix after the rating?

    After receiving your A-E classification, use the query_improvement_recommendations capability. It analyzes component weaknesses and provides a prioritized list of actionable upgrades (e.g., upgrading glazing or improving roof insulation).
