Economic Order Quantity is the ideal order size that minimizes the total costs of both ordering and holding inventory.

How do I use this with Claude?

You connect your Claude client to the Vinkius platform once. After that, you can simply ask Claude to perform inventory calculations using this MCP.

Can this help prevent stockouts?

Yes. By using the reorder point capability, you can identify the exact inventory level that triggers a new order based on your lead times.

What data do I need to provide?

You typically need annual demand, cost per order, holding cost percentage, and unit price to get accurate results.

Does this work for any inventory item?

Yes, as long as you can provide the demand and cost metrics, the math applies to any SKU in your inventory.

What is the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ)?

EOQ is the ideal order size a company should purchase to minimize its total inventory costs, specifically balancing ordering costs and holding costs.

How do I use the calculate_eoq_metrics capability?

Provide your annual demand, fixed cost per order, holding cost percentage (as a decimal), and the unit price of the item to receive optimal quantity and frequency metrics.

Can this capability help prevent stockouts?

Yes, by using the calculate_reorder_point capability with your lead time data, you can determine the exact inventory level that triggers a new order to ensure goods arrive before you run out.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

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.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through EOQ Calculator.

01
Analyze cost efficiency
This capability provides a granular breakdown of inventory costs. It shows you the specific balance between your annual ordering expenses and your holding costs.
02
Calculate eoq metrics
This capability calculates your primary optimization metrics. It returns your optimal order quantity, how many times you should order per year, and the average days between replenishment cycles.
03
Calculate reorder point
This capability determines your inventory threshold. It tells you exactly when your stock levels hit the point where a new purchase order must be placed based on lead time.

Real work

What teams actually run

Warehouse Optimization

Calculate how much space you actually need by determining the ideal order frequency.

Procurement Planning

Determine exactly when to send purchase orders to vendors to maintain continuous stock.

Cost Auditing

Use cost efficiency analysis to see if your current ordering patterns are too expensive.

New Product Launch

Automate a task

Put EOQ Calculator 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

EOQ Calculator 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 EOQ Calculator 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.
