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

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Foil Glide Ratio.

  1. 01

    Calculate glide performance

    This capability determines the fundamental gliding capabilities of your specific foil setup.

  2. 02

    Calculate pumping efficiency

    Use this to estimate how effectively a rider can maintain flight through rhythmic body movement.

  3. 03

    Calculate speed envelope

    This capability provides the operational speed limits for a given foil configuration.

  4. 04

    Compare configurations

    This capability compares two different foil setups to identify differences in glide or speed characteristics.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Pre-purchase Comparison

Compare a new wing setup against your current gear to see if the glide ratio improves.

02

Design Validation

Test how changing a fuselage length or wing area affects the speed envelope.

03

Rider Training

Use pumping efficiency scores to predict how much energy a rider will expend to stay in flight.

04

Flight Planning

Determine the stall and maximum speeds for a specific setup to avoid losing flight.

One connector, every AI

Foil Glide Ratio 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 Foil Glide Ratio 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. 4 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 Foil Glide Ratio, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Foil Glide Ratio. 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 Foil Glide Ratio owners hand off.

This MCP is built for people designing or selecting hydrofoil equipment who need fast, accurate physics data.

  • 01

    Hydrofoil Designers

    They hand off wing dimensions and aspect ratios to the AI to test theoretical performance.

  • 02

    Gear Enthusiasts

    They use the capability to compare different foil setups before making a purchase.

  • 03

    Performance Coaches

    They use pumping efficiency data to help riders understand flight maintenance.

FAQ

Questions Foil Glide Ratio owners ask.

  • 01

    What clients can I use with this MCP?

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

  • 02

    Do I need to host the MCP myself?

    No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and it is ready to use.

  • 03

    Can I compare two different foils?

    Yes, you can use the compare_configurations capability to see how glide and speed characteristics differ between two setups.

  • 04

    What data do I need to provide for glide calculations?

    You typically need to provide wing area, aspect ratio, fuselage length, and rider weight.

  • 05

    Does this calculate pumping efficiency?

    Yes, the calculate_pumping_efficiency capability estimates how effectively a rider can maintain flight through rhythmic movement.

  • 06

    How do I calculate the glide ratio for my foil?

    You can use the calculate_glide_performance capability by providing the wing area, aspect ratio, fuselage length, and rider weight.

  • 07

    Can I compare two different foil setups?

    Yes, the compare_configurations capability allows you to compare two setups to see which offers better glide or speed characteristics.

  • 08

    What is the minimum speed required to stay flying?

    The calculate_speed_envelope capability provides the minFlightSpeed, which is the speed below which the foil will sink.
