How does this MCP handle PMI?

The MCP estimates Private Mortgage Insurance based on the down payment level you provide in your prompt.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf through the Vinkius platform.

What is included in the monthly housing cost calculation?

The calculation includes principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and HOA fees (PITI plus HOA).

Does it check for mortgage qualification?

Yes, the validate_dti capability allows your agent to check if your debt-to-income ratios meet specific lender standards.

Do I need to host this myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use as soon as you connect your client.

How does the calculator determine my maximum home price?

It uses your gross monthly income and existing debts to solve for the highest property value that satisfies both front-end and back-end DTI limits.

Does this capability account for PMI?

Yes, if your down payment percentage is below the required threshold, the calculator automatically includes the monthly Private Mortgage Insurance cost in your total housing expenses.

What DTI ratios are used for validation?

By default, it checks against the standard 28% front-end and 36% back-end DTI limits, but these can be customized for specific lender requirements.

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.
