F&D stands for finding and development costs. It represents the capital spent to find and develop oil and gas reserves.

How do I use this with Claude or Cursor?

You connect to the Vinkius hosted MCP once. After that, your AI client can use the capabilities directly through the standard protocol.

Can I get a full report of all metrics?

Yes, you can use the get_fd_summary_report capability to get a breakdown of all F&D metrics for a given period.

Does this MCP handle BOE calculations?

Yes, it includes specific capabilities to calculate both finding and development costs per BOE.

Do I need to host this myself?

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

What is the purpose of this MCP?

It calculates finding and development (F&D) costs per barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) to help evaluate capital efficiency in energy projects.

How do I get a full breakdown of my costs?

You can use the get_fd_summary_report capability to receive a complete summary including total F&D cost, finding cost per BOE, and development cost per BOE.

Can I calculate development costs separately?

Yes, the get_development_cost_per_boe capability allows you to isolate development efficiency specifically.

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.

One connector, every AI

Finding and Development Cost Service 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 Finding and Development Cost Service 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.
