How does this MCP handle jar headspace?

The capability accounts for headspace loss during its calculations to ensure you have enough jar volume for the actual product.

Can I add a safety margin to my supply list?

Yes, you can tell your agent to include a specific percentage for reserves, such as a 10% buffer for extra jars.

What AI clients can I use with this MCP?

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

Does it help with equipment limitations?

Yes, the estimate_batch_schedule capability uses your equipment's capacity to tell you how many processing cycles you'll need.

Will it tell me if my recipe is efficient?

Yes, the validate_recipe_efficiency capability checks if your recipe yield and jar selection are practical for your harvest size.

How do I calculate the number of jars I need?

You can use the calculate_jar_requirements capability. Provide the total harvest weight, the recipe yield, the jar volume, and the required headspace loss.

Can I plan my processing batches?

Yes, after calculating your jar requirements, use estimate_batch_schedule to determine how many processing cycles are needed based on your equipment capacity.

What is headspace loss?

Headspace loss is the volume of space left at the top of a jar to allow for expansion during the preservation process. This must be subtracted from the total jar volume to find the effective volume.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

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.

One connector, every AI

Harvest Preservation 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 Harvest Preservation 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.
