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.

Automate a task

Put GoTab 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

GoTab 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 GoTab 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.

One URL. Every client.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of GoTab, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

This MCP is built for hospitality professionals who need to interact with their POS data without leaving their primary workspace.

  • 01

    Restaurant Managers

    They use the agent to quickly mark items as sold out or 86'd.

  • 02

    Customer Support

    They look up guest tabs and order history to resolve disputes.

  • 03

    F&B Directors

    They monitor order flow and menu status across multiple locations.

FAQ

Questions GoTab owners ask.

  • 01

    What AI clients can I use with this MCP?

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

  • 02

    How do I connect my GoTab account?

    You need to provide your GoTab API Access ID and Secret during the setup process on Vinkius.

  • 03

    Can I manage multiple restaurant locations?

    Yes, you can list and query data for different locations using the provided capabilities.

  • 04

    Can I update my digital menu through the AI?

    Yes, you can use the update capability to change the availability status of menu items.

  • 05

    Does this replace the GoTab dashboard?

    It acts as a conversational interface to perform specific tasks from your existing workflow, rather than a full dashboard replacement.

  • 06

    Can I mark an item as sold out using the AI?

    Yes! Use the update_item_status capability. You can ask the AI to change the status of a specific item to 'sold_out' or 'available', and it will immediately reflect on your digital menus.

  • 07

    How do I check if a customer's tab is still open?

    You can use the list_tabs capability and filter by status 'open' to see all active tabs, or use get_tab with a specific Tab ID to check its current status and running total.

  • 08

    Is it possible to monitor incoming kitchen orders live?

    Yes. The AI agent acts as a direct bridge to the order log, meaning you can retrieve the latest incoming tickets immediately without standing at the POS terminal.
