What is Focus Attention Training?

It is an MCP that provides a psychological framework for surfers to manage their attention and improve performance.

How do I use this with Claude or Cursor?

You connect to the Vinkius-hosted MCP once, and then you can use your AI client to call the capabilities directly through chat.

Can I use this for other sports?

The framework is built for surfing, but the principles of managing internal and external focus apply to many high-performance athletes.

How does it help with distractions?

The capability can generate specific attention cues that act as mental triggers to pull your focus back to the task at hand.

Does it provide actual workout routines?

It provides mental training protocols, which include timed drills and cues rather than physical exercises.

How do I use the focus drills?

You can use the generate_focus_drills capability by providing your current focus level, your primary surfing goal, and whether you want to focus on internal or external cues.

Can I prepare for ocean conditions?

Yes, the build_practice_protocol capability allows you to design routines specifically for 'chaotic' environments like the open ocean.

What is the difference between internal and external focus?

External focus directs attention to the environment or movement effects, while internal focus directs attention to body mechanics.

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.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Focus Attention Training 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.
