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.

Who it's for

Built for the work Hourly Wage & Commute Calculator owners hand off.

This MCP is for anyone making career decisions based on total compensation rather than just gross salary.

  • 01

    Job Seekers

    They hand off job offer details to the agent to see if the net pay justifies the commute.

  • 02

    Remote Workers

    They use the capability to validate if a remote role provides enough time and money savings.

  • 03

    Freelancers

    They calculate their effective rates when factoring in business expenses and travel.

FAQ

Questions Hourly Wage & Commute Calculator owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP calculate my effective wage?

    It takes your gross pay and subtracts taxes, then factors in the cost and time spent on your commute to find your true hourly value.

  • 02

    Can I use this to compare remote vs in-person jobs?

    Yes. You can use the remote work analysis capability to see if the savings in time and travel costs make a remote role more valuable than an in-person one.

  • 03

    What clients can I use this with?

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

  • 04

    Does this account for gas and vehicle costs?

    Yes. You can input your specific transport costs to see how they impact your hourly earnings.

  • 05

    Is my data secure?

    Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages the connection, so you only provide the numbers you want to calculate to your agent.

  • 06

    What is the difference between net and effective hourly wage?

    Net hourly wage is your pay after taxes. Effective hourly wage is your net pay divided by the total time you dedicate to work, including your commute time.

  • 07

    How does this capability help with remote work decisions?

    You can use analyze_remote_work_benefit to compare the effective hourly value of your current in-person job against a potential remote position, factoring in saved travel time and costs.

  • 08

    Does this account for transport costs?

    Yes, the capabilities allow you to input daily transport costs to see how they reduce your total weekly takehome pay and your effective hourly rate.
