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.

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 12 available through Grain Watch.

  1. 09

    Get sensor health

    This capability checks the operational status, battery levels, and communication health of your sensors. Use it to see if any hardware is offline or needs calibration.

  2. 10

    Get sensor map

    This capability reveals the physical layout, depth, and position of every sensor in a silo. It helps your agent understand exactly where a reading is coming from.

  3. 11

    Get spoilage risk

    This capability generates an AI-driven risk assessment for a specific silo. It calculates risk levels and predicts how many days remain before spoilage if conditions don't change.

  4. 12

    Get temperature history

    This capability pulls historical temperature data to help your agent identify developing hot spots or evaluate aeration effectiveness. You can specify a lookback period in days.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Preventing Spoilage

Your agent detects a rising temperature trend in a specific silo zone and recommends immediate aeration.

02

Monitoring Moisture Migration

The AI analyzes humidity history to see if moisture is moving through the grain mass.

03

System Maintenance

Your agent notifies you that a sensor in Silo 4 has a low battery or has gone offline.

04

Executive Reporting

You ask your agent for a facility-wide summary to quickly assess the status of all storage units.

Automate a task

Put Grain Watch 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

Grain Watch 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

It does not authenticate your account with Grain Watch. 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 Grain Watch owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals managing large-scale grain storage and moisture-sensitive inventory.

  • 01

    Grain Farmers

    They use the agent to monitor stored grain and catch hot spots before they ruin a harvest.

  • 02

    Grain Elevator Operators

    They hand off the task of monitoring hundreds of silos to the agent for automated alert management.

  • 03

    Facility Managers

    They use the agent to get real-time sensor data and spoilage risk assessments for the whole site.

  • 04

    Agricultural Consultants

    They use the agent to pull data-driven storage recommendations for their clients.

FAQ

Questions Grain Watch owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my Grain Watch data?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your Grain Watch API key and base URL. Once connected, your AI client can immediately start querying your silo data.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    Can the AI tell me if my grain is at risk of spoiling?

    Yes. The agent uses the spoilage risk capability to assess risk levels based on temperature, humidity, and grain type.

  • 04

    Does this MCP support multiple silos?

    Yes. You can manage and monitor all silos in your facility through a single interface.

  • 05

    How does the AI detect hot spots?

    The agent monitors temperature readings from various sensor zones and identifies significant temperature differentials that indicate a hot spot.

  • 06

    Can my AI detect hot spots developing in my grain silos before spoilage occurs?

    Yes! Use the get_hotspot_alerts capability to check for active hot spot detections across your silos. Hot spots are localized temperature increases that indicate early biological activity (mold, insects, or grain respiration) before visible spoilage. For trend analysis, use get_temperature_history to see how temperatures have been changing over the past days or weeks. Early hot spot detection gives you critical time to activate aeration and prevent grain loss.

  • 07

    How do I get the AI spoilage risk assessment for my silos?

    Use the get_spoilage_risk capability with your silo ID. Grain Watch AI analyzes temperature trends, humidity patterns, and grain type to provide a risk level (low, moderate, high, critical), contributing factors, predicted days until spoilage if conditions persist, and recommended preventive actions. This combines multiple data sources into a single actionable assessment. For a facility-wide view, use get_facility_overview to see overall risk across all silos.

  • 08

    Can I check the health of my temperature sensors to ensure reliable monitoring?

    Yes! Use the get_sensor_health capability with your silo ID to check the status of all temperature and humidity sensors. This shows which sensors are active, offline, or faulted, along with last communication times and battery levels for wireless sensors. You can also use get_sensor_map to see the physical layout of all sensors in a silo, helping you understand which zones each sensor monitors.
