How does this MCP help with fermentation safety?

It helps by calculating the exact salt mass required for your substrate and estimating shelf life based on pH levels to ensure stability.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

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

Does the fermentation schedule account for temperature?

Yes, the calculate_ferment_schedule capability uses ambient temperature to determine the primary fermentation duration.

How do I calculate salt for a specific percentage?

You can use the calculate_salt_requirement capability by providing the substrate weight and your desired salt concentration.

What determines the shelf life prediction?

The estimate_shelf_life capability uses the final pH levels and the temperature of your cold storage to predict stability.

How do I know when my sauerkraut is ready?

You can use the calculate_ferment_schedule capability to find the expected duration. Once the target pH is reached, the fermentation is complete.

How much salt do I need for my vegetables?

The calculate_salt_requirement capability calculates the exact mass of salt needed based on your substrate weight and desired concentration.

Can I predict how long my ferment will last in the fridge?

Yes, the estimate_shelf_life capability predicts stability in cold storage using the final pH and storage temperature.

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 · 3 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Fermentation Timer.

01
Calculate ferment schedule
This capability determines the primary fermentation duration and target pH based on the ambient temperature you provide.
02
Calculate salt requirement
This capability finds the exact mass of salt needed for your specific substrate weight.
03
Estimate shelf life
This capability predicts how long a ferment will remain stable in cold storage based on its final pH levels.

Real work

What teams actually run

Batch Scaling

Calculate the exact salt mass needed when moving from a small jar to a large fermentation crock.

Temperature Adjustments

Adjust your fermentation expectations when moving a batch from a warm kitchen to a cool pantry.

Safety Planning

Predict how long a finished ferment will last in a refrigerator based on its acidity.

Process Documentation

Use the agent to generate precise schedules for fermentation cycles.

One connector, every AI

Fermentation Timer 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 Fermentation Timer 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Fermentation Timer, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Fermentation Timer. 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 Fermentation Timer owners hand off.

This MCP is built for anyone managing biological fermentation processes who needs mathematical certainty.

01
Small-scale producers
They hand off salt ratio and shelf life calculations to the agent to ensure batch consistency.
02
Home fermenters
They use the agent to predict how long their ferments will take at different room temperatures.
03
Food scientists
They use the capability to model fermentation schedules and stability metrics.
