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 · 1 capability

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01

1 capability in this set.

Part of 1 available through minimatch.

  1. 01

    Test glob

    This capability checks if a specific file path matches a given glob pattern. It uses the minimatch engine to return a boolean result for gitignore rules, CI patterns, or deployment filters.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

CI/CD Pipeline Validation

Verify that your include and exclude patterns correctly capture the files needed for a build.

02

Gitignore Verification

Confirm that your ignore rules will actually prevent unwanted files from being tracked.

03

Deployment Filtering

Test patterns used to select specific assets for cloud deployments or edge functions.

04

Automated File Management

Let your agent check if a file path falls within a specific directory pattern before performing operations.

Automate a task

Put minimatch to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

minimatch 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 minimatch 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. 1 capability arrives 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 minimatch, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with minimatch. 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 minimatch owners hand off.

This MCP is built for engineers who need to automate file-based rules without manual testing.

  • 01

    DevOps Engineers

    They hand off CI/CD pipeline configuration and deployment filter validation to their agents.

  • 02

    Software Developers

    They use it to ensure .gitignore rules and build scripts correctly target the right files.

  • 03

    Site Reliability Engineers

    They rely on it to verify path patterns used in automated infrastructure and monitoring capabilities.

FAQ

Questions minimatch owners ask.

  • 01

    What engine does this MCP use for matching?

    It uses minimatch, which is the same engine used by npm and git.

  • 02

    Can I test negation patterns?

    Yes, the capability supports negation patterns using the exclamation mark.

  • 03

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

    Any MCP-compatible client such as Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf can use this capability.

  • 04

    Does it support recursive directory matching?

    Yes, it supports the double asterisk pattern for matching files in nested directories.

  • 05

    Is this useful for DevOps automation?

    Yes, it is designed to help agents validate gitignore rules and CI pipeline patterns accurately.

  • 06

    Is this the same algorithm git uses?

    Yes. minimatch is the glob engine used by npm itself and follows the same POSIX glob specification that git uses for .gitignore.

  • 07

    Does it support double-star recursive patterns?

    Yes. The ` pattern matches any number of directories recursively. For example, src//*.ts matches files at any depth inside src/`.
