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

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Hops Drying Optimizer.

  1. 01

    Calculate energy metrics

    This capability calculates the total energy required and the efficiency of your drying process.

  2. 02

    Estimate quality retention

    Use this to predict the percentage of alpha acids that stay preserved after drying.

  3. 03

    Get drying profile

    This capability generates the specific sequence of temperatures and airflows needed to hit a target moisture level.

  4. 04

    Simulate drying efficiency

    This capability compares different drying scenarios for the same batch of hops to find the best setup.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Batch Planning

Input your initial moisture and target weight to get a complete drying profile.

02

Cost Estimation

Calculate the exact energy cost per kilogram for a specific drying run.

03

Equipment Evaluation

Compare the cost and quality outcomes of using a belt dryer versus a kiln.

04

Quality Control

Predict how much alpha acid will be lost before you start the drying process.

One connector, every AI

Hops Drying Optimizer 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 Hops Drying Optimizer 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.

Connect your client

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 Hops Drying Optimizer, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

Who it's for

Built for the work Hops Drying Optimizer owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals in the hop production and brewing supply chain who need to manage drying operations.

  • 01

    Hop Farm Managers

    They hand off moisture targets and batch weights to the AI to get drying schedules.

  • 02

    Brewery Supply Chain Analysts

    They use the capability to predict the quality and cost of incoming hop supplies.

  • 03

    Agricultural Engineers

    They use simulations to compare the efficiency of different dryer designs.

FAQ

Questions Hops Drying Optimizer owners ask.

  • 01

    What kind of drying models does this MCP use?

    The MCP uses a thin-layer drying model to calculate temperature and airflow requirements.

  • 02

    Can I compare different types of dryers?

    Yes, you can use the simulation capability to compare different architectures like belt, kiln, or whole-plant systems.

  • 03

    How does this help with alpha acid levels?

    The capability includes a specific function to estimate how much alpha acid is preserved during the drying process.

  • 04

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

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

  • 05

    Does this MCP handle energy cost calculations?

    Yes, it can determine total energy consumption and the resulting costs for your drying batches.

  • 06

    How does this capability help with alpha acid retention?

    By using estimate_quality_retention, the capability predicts how much alpha acid is preserved based on the specific temperature profile used, helping to prevent thermal degradation.

  • 07

    What inputs are required for the drying profile?

    To use get_drying_profile, you need to provide the initial moisture content, the target moisture, the total mass of hops in kilograms, and the type of dryer being used.
