How do I use this MCP with Claude or Cursor?

You connect your client to Vinkius once. After that, you can simply ask your AI client to manage your childcare schedules or generate handoff notes.

Can I use this to manage multiple different caregivers?

Yes. You can list multiple helpers with different capabilities, and the MCP will assign them to the correct routines in the calendar.

What happens if there is a gap in my childcare schedule?

You can use the capability to identify contingency contacts, which helps you find secondary people to notify to fill those gaps.

Does this help with specific rules like diet or bedtime?

Yes. You can include home constraints in your prompt, and the MCP will include them in the return-to-routine checklists.

Do I need to host this myself?

No. Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use immediately after you connect your client.

How can I see who is watching my child on a specific day?

You can use the get_coverage_calendar capability to generate a chronological view of responsible helpers for any given date range.

What happens if there is a gap in childcare coverage?

The identify_contingency_contacts capability will help you determine which secondary contacts need to be notified when coverage gaps are detected.

How do I prepare the caregiver for the transition?

Use the generate_handoff_brief capability to create a concise instructional document containing routines and transition points for the person in charge.

Waiting for input…

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.

Curated set · 4 capabilities

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Family Absence Coverage Plan 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.
