How does this MCP help with document compliance?

It connects your AI client to specific retention rules, allowing the agent to calculate exact dates for archiving and deletion while validating that any manual changes still follow policy.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

What happens if I want to keep a file longer than the rule allows?

You can request a retention override, and the MCP will use the validation capability to check if that request complies with your organization's rules.

Can the AI identify all files that need to be deleted today?

Yes, the agent can use the filtering capability to identify all files that have reached their scheduled destruction date.

Does this MCP host my files?

No, this MCP provides the logic and rules for your agent to manage your existing files. Vinkius hosts the MCP itself to ensure it is always ready to run.

How does a legal hold affect file retention?

When a legal hold is active, the calculate_retention_milestones capability ensures the deletion date is pushed to the infinite future, preventing any files from being flagged for destruction.

Can I override the default retention period for a category?

You can attempt an override, but you should first use validate_retention_override to ensure the proposed duration complies with mandatory regulatory requirements for that category.

How can I find all files that need to be archived?

You can use the filter_files_by_action capability with the 'archive' action type and a specific reference date to retrieve a list of all files ready for long-term storage.

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

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through File Retention Schedule.

01
Calculate retention milestones
This capability builds a complete lifecycle timeline for a specific file. It uses file metadata and your retention rules to set exact dates for every stage.
02
Filter files by action
This capability pulls a list of files that have reached a specific lifecycle stage. Use it to find everything ready for deletion or archiving.
03
Get category rules
This capability retrieves the default retention settings for a specific document classification. It tells your agent what the standard rules are for a given category.
04
Validate retention override
This capability checks if a user-requested retention change follows your organizational policy. It prevents accidental non-compliance when manual changes are requested.

Real work

What teams actually run

Regulatory Compliance

Storage Optimization

Identify large batches of old documents that can be moved to cheaper archive storage.

Data Privacy

Automate the permanent destruction of sensitive user data once its retention period expires.

Audit Preparation

One connector, every AI

File Retention Schedule 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 Retention Schedule 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.
