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

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through IBU & SRM Brewing Calculator.

  1. 01

    Calculate bitterness

    This capability calculates total IBU and the specific contribution of each hop addition. It uses the Tinseth formula for accuracy.

  2. 02

    Calculate color

    This capability predicts the final SRM color of your beer. It also provides a descriptive classification like amber or pale based on the Morey equation.

  3. 03

    Simulate boil process

    This capability predicts your final volume and the amount of liquid lost to evaporation during the boil.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Recipe Iteration

Ask your agent to change a hop amount and immediately see how the IBU changes.

02

Color Matching

Predict if a specific malt bill will result in an amber or copper beer.

03

Volume Planning

Calculate how much pre-boil wort you need based on expected evaporation rates.

04

Bitterness Balancing

Determine the exact contribution of late versus early hop additions.

One connector, every AI

IBU & SRM Brewing Calculator 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 IBU & SRM Brewing Calculator 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. 3 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 IBU & SRM Brewing Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with IBU & SRM Brewing Calculator. 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 IBU & SRM Brewing Calculator owners hand off.

This MCP is built for people who need mathematical precision in their brewing workflows. It moves the math from a spreadsheet into your AI chat.

  • 01

    Homebrewers

    Use it to verify recipe consistency and predict outcomes before you brew.

  • 02

    Professional Brewers

    Hand off complex Tinseth and Morey calculations to your agent during recipe development.

  • 03

    Recipe Developers

    Use the capability to quickly iterate on hop schedules and malt profiles.

FAQ

Questions IBU & SRM Brewing Calculator owners ask.

  • 01

    What formulas does this MCP use for calculations?

    It uses the Tinseth formula for bitterness (IBU) and the Morey equation for color (SRM).

  • 02

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

    Yes, you can connect this MCP to any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 03

    Does it provide color descriptions?

    Yes, it classifies the predicted SRM into categories like pale, gold, amber, copper, or dark.

  • 04

    How does it handle hop additions?

    The calculate_bitterness capability shows the total IBU and the specific contribution from each individual hop addition.

  • 05

    Can it help with boil evaporation?

    Yes, the simulate_boil_process capability predicts both your final volume and the volume lost during the boil.

  • 06

    How is the bitterness calculated?

    Bitterness is calculated using the Tinseth formula, which accounts for hop weight, alpha acid percentage, boil time, and the original gravity of the wort.

  • 07

    What determines the color of the beer?

    The color is determined by the Malting Color Units (MCU) of the grain bill, which is then converted to SRM using the Morey equation.

  • 08

    Can I predict evaporation loss?

    Yes, you can use the simulate_boil_process capability to predict the final volume and total volume lost based on your boil-off rate.
