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 Path Normalizer and Traversal Checker.

  1. 01

    Check traversal boundary

    This capability checks if a path attempt tries to break out of its assigned root folder. It identifies unauthorized escapes to prevent directory traversal.

  2. 02

    Get path security audit

    This capability provides a full security snapshot for a path relative to a root directory. It returns the normalized path, risk status, and the assigned security tier.

  3. 03

    Normalize path

    This capability cleans up raw path strings. It resolves all relative markers like dot and dot-dot to create a clean, standard path.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Automated File Cleanup

Your agent uses the normalization capability to resolve complex paths before deleting or moving files.

02

Secure File Uploads

The agent checks that uploaded file paths don't attempt to write to sensitive system directories.

03

Agentic File Browsing

The agent uses boundary checks to ensure it only explores authorized folders.

04

Security Log Auditing

You use the audit capability to verify the safety of paths found in application logs.

One connector, every AI

File Path Normalizer and Traversal Checker 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 Path Normalizer and Traversal Checker 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.

Connect your client

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 Path Normalizer and Traversal Checker, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with File Path Normalizer and Traversal Checker. 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 File Path Normalizer and Traversal Checker owners hand off.

This MCP is built for developers and security engineers who need to automate file operations without risking system integrity.

  • 01

    Backend Developers

    They hand off path sanitation tasks to the agent to ensure input is clean.

  • 02

    DevSecOps Engineers

    They use the audit capabilities to verify that automated agents aren't creating security holes.

  • 03

    System Administrators

    They use it to validate file access requests in automated scripts.

FAQ

Questions File Path Normalizer and Traversal Checker owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP prevent directory traversal?

    It uses the check_traversal_boundary capability to verify that a resolved path does not escape its designated root directory.

  • 02

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

    Yes, this MCP is compatible with any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    What does normalize_path actually do?

    It takes a raw path string and resolves all relative segments like '.' and '..' to produce a clean, absolute path.

  • 04

    What information is in a security audit?

    The get_path_security_audit capability returns the normalized path, whether a risk was detected, and the security tier assigned to that path.

  • 05

    Do I need to host this myself?

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

  • 06

    How can I clean up a path with '..' segments?

    Use the normalize_path capability to resolve all relative markers into a clean, absolute-style string.

  • 07

    Can this detect directory traversal attacks?

    Yes, the check_traversal_boundary capability identifies if a resolved path attempts to escape its assigned root directory.

  • 08

    What information does the security audit provide?

    The get_path_security_audit capability returns the normalized path, indicates if a risk is detected, and provides the specific security tier classification.
