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.

FAQ

Questions Home Energy Load Shifter owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP save me money?

    It identifies the cheapest electricity windows and schedules your appliances to run during those specific times.

  • 02

    Will this overload my home's electrical system?

    No, the scheduling process accounts for your home's maximum concurrent power capacity to prevent overloads.

  • 03

    What AI clients can I use with this?

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

  • 04

    Can I set specific times for my appliances?

    Yes, the agent respects the individual deadlines you provide for each task.

  • 05

    Do I need to host this myself?

    No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP so it is ready to use immediately after you connect.

  • 06

    How does the scheduling work?

    The engine uses calculate_optimal_schedule to fit appliance loads into windows where electricity is cheapest or most available, while ensuring the total power draw never exceeds your maxConcurrentLoadKw limit.

  • 07

    Can I check if a specific appliance can be scheduled?

    Yes, you can use the validate_load_feasibility capability to check if a single appliance can fit into the available tariff windows before attempting to schedule a full plan.

  • 08

    How do I see my power usage profile?

    Once a schedule is generated, you can use get_load_utilization_report to see a breakdown of total power usage and remaining capacity at different timestamps.
