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 · 3 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Hop Yard Irrigation.

  1. 01

    Calculate daily demand

    This capability calculates the specific amount of water your hops need for a single day. It factors in your current growth stage and variety to ensure accuracy.

  2. 02

    Calculate seasonal total

    Use this capability to estimate the total water volume required for the entire growing season. It helps you plan your water supply and budget ahead of time.

  3. 03

    Generate irrigation schedule

    This capability creates a plan for when to irrigate based on your current soil moisture levels. It tells your agent exactly when the next watering event should happen.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

  • 01

    Hop Growers

    They hand off soil moisture and ET data to the agent to get irrigation timing.

  • 02

    Irrigation Managers

    They use the agent to calculate seasonal water totals and daily requirements.

  • 03

    Farm Technicians

    They use the agent to generate specific irrigation schedules for different yard sections.

FAQ

Questions Hop Yard Irrigation owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP calculate water needs?

    It uses crop coefficients, growth stages, and variety types to determine the specific water demand for your hops.

  • 02

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

    Yes, you can use this MCP with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 03

    Does it account for different hop varieties?

    Yes, the calculations are based on the specific variety and its growth stage.

  • 04

    How does it help during cone development?

    It provides precise calculations to prevent water stress during this highly sensitive stage of growth.

  • 05

    What kind of data do I need to provide?

    You typically provide data like ET values, soil moisture levels, variety type, and growth stage.

  • 06

    How does the capability handle different hop varieties?

    The system uses specific crop coefficients for both 'ALPHA' and 'AROMA' varieties to ensure accurate water demand calculations.

  • 07

    Can I plan my irrigation schedule in advance?

    Yes, you can use generate_irrigation_schedule to create a planned sequence of irrigation events based on your current soil moisture and daily demand.

  • 08

    Does this account for water stress during cone development?

    Yes, by enabling stress sensitivity in the irrigation schedule, the system prioritizes higher moisture levels during the CONE_DEVELOPMENT stage to protect cone quality.
