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 File Change Impact Assessor.

  1. 01

    Get dependency graph

    Provides a structural view of file connections. It shows how files are linked through import statements.

  2. 02

    Identify test coverage

    Finds the specific test files that cover your target logic. It tells you exactly which tests to run to validate a change.

  3. 03

    Analyze impact

    Determines the scope and risk of a proposed file change. It calculates how many files are affected by your edits.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Refactoring Core Modules

Determine how many files will break if you rename or move a central utility.

02

Pre-commit Risk Checks

Check the risk level of a change before you push your code to a repository.

03

Optimizing Test Suites

Identify the minimal set of tests required to validate a specific logic change.

04

Visualizing Architecture

Map out how different parts of your application interact through imports.

One connector, every AI

File Change Impact Assessor 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 File Change Impact Assessor 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 File Change Impact Assessor, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with File Change Impact Assessor. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

    Backend Engineer

    Uses the MCP to see how changing a core service affects downstream consumers.

  • 02

    DevOps Engineer

    Uses the capability to understand the impact of refactoring or moving files in a CI/CD pipeline.

  • 03

    Software Architect

    Uses the dependency graph to visualize and manage system coupling.

FAQ

Questions File Change Impact Assessor owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP identify affected files?

    It parses import statements within your files to build a deterministic dependency graph. This allows it to trace how changes propagate through the system.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

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

  • 03

    Can I use this to find which tests to run?

    Yes. The identify_test_coverage capability pinpoints the specific test files that cover the logic of your target file.

  • 04

    Does this work for any programming language?

    The capability works by parsing import statements, so its effectiveness depends on the ability to parse the specific language's import syntax.

  • 05

    Where is the MCP hosted?

    Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so you don't have to worry about running it locally.

  • 06

    How is the impact radius calculated?

    The impact radius is calculated by counting the unique files in the transitive dependency tree that import the target file or its importers.

  • 07

    What is the difference between MODIFY, DELETE, and RENAME?

    MODIFY updates content, DELETE removes the file, and RENAME changes the filename. All three trigger dependency checks to ensure importers are updated or accounted for.
