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 Enterprise Switching Cost Engine owners ask.

  • 01

    What does this MCP actually calculate?

    It calculates the total economic and operational cost of moving a customer from one vendor to another, including contract and technical costs.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this?

    You can use this MCP with any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code.

  • 03

    How do I use the mitigation plan feature?

    Once you have calculated the costs and barrier scores, you can ask your agent to generate a plan based on those specific results.

  • 04

    Do I need to host this myself?

    No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect and start using the capabilities.

  • 05

    Can this help me decide which leads to pursue?

    Yes, the analyze_displacement_feasibility capability provides high-level recommendations on whether a prospect is worth pursuing.

  • 06

    How is the total switching cost calculated?

    The calculate_total_switching_cost capability aggregates contractual penalties, training investments, and technical friction (integration complexity and data lock-in) to provide a complete monetary figure.

  • 07

    What is a switching barrier score?

    It is a normalized index between 0 and 100. You can use evaluate_switching_barrier to convert the total cost into this score, which is then relative to the prospect's annual revenue.

  • 08

    Can this capability suggest ways to win a deal?

    Yes. By using generate_mitigation_plan, the engine suggests specific tactics such as financial credits or technical migration services based on the primary cost drivers.
