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 · 4 capabilities

One connector, every AI

Haulage Cost Optimization 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.

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 4 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 Haulage Cost Optimization, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

FAQ

Questions Haulage Cost Optimization owners ask.

  • 01

    What AI clients can use this MCP?

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

  • 02

    How does the MCP handle fleet estimation?

    The agent uses the estimate_fleet_requirements capability to calculate truck needs based on your production goals, truck capacity, cycle times, and available hours.

  • 03

    Can I calculate specific route costs?

    Yes, the analyze_haulage_scenario capability provides an economic profile for specific routes.

  • 04

    Does Vinkius host the MCP?

    Yes, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP so it is ready to use as soon as you connect your client.

  • 05

    What kind of costs can be aggregated?

    The agent can aggregate variable costs such as fuel, tires, and maintenance to provide a total expenditure estimate.

  • 06

    How can I calculate the efficiency of my current haulage route?

    You can use the calculate_haulage_efficiency capability by providing the haul distance, total tonnage, and the sum of fuel, tire, and maintenance costs.

  • 07

    How do I determine how many trucks I need for a production goal?

    Use the estimate_fleet_requirements capability. You will need to provide the target production tonnage, the capacity of a single truck, the cycle time per trip, and the total available operational time.

  • 08

    What costs are included in the total operational cost calculation?

    The get_total_operational_cost capability aggregates three primary drivers: fuel consumption, tire wear, and mechanical maintenance.
