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 Forestry Calculator.

  1. 01

    Calculate log volume

    This capability calculates the estimated board foot volume for a single tree using your chosen log rule.

  2. 02

    Estimate acreage yield

    Use this to project the total merchantable timber volume across a specific area based on your sample data.

  3. 03

    Calculate basal area

    This capability determines the cross-sectional area of a single tree at breast height.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Timber Cruising

Convert field measurements of diameter and height into board foot volumes instantly.

02

Stand Inventory

Calculate total basal area to understand stand density.

03

Yield Forecasting

Project total merchantable volume for an entire tract using sample plots.

04

Log Scaling

Compare different log rules like Doyle or Scribner for the same tree.

One connector, every AI

Forestry Calculator 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 Forestry Calculator 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 Forestry Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Forestry Calculator. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

  • 02

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

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

  • 03

    Does it account for tree taper?

    Yes, the calculations account for natural taper in large-diameter trees to ensure accuracy.

  • 04

    How do I estimate volume for an entire acre?

    You use the estimate_acreage_yield capability by providing sample data to your agent.

  • 05

    Do I need to host this myself?

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

  • 06

    Which log rules are supported?

    The capability supports Doyle, Scribner, and International 1/4-inch log rules.

  • 07

    How does the capability handle large trees?

    The calculate_log_volume capability applies taper deductions for large diameters to account for natural stem narrowing.

  • 08

    Can I estimate yield per acre?

    Yes, use the estimate_acreage_yield capability by providing tree volumes, the BAF used, total basal area sampled, and the sample acreage.
