What is marginal cost in infrastructure?

It is the cost of adding one more customer or unit of work to your existing system, accounting for both capital and operational expenses.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

How does it handle Capex and Opex?

The capability uses your provided Capex and Opex figures to calculate the total cost per customer and evaluate scaling efficiency.

Can it predict when I will run out of capacity?

Yes, by using the capacity capabilities, your AI can evaluate how much headroom is left and the risk of exceeding it.

Do I need to host this myself?

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

How do I calculate the cost of adding new customers?

You can use the calculate_marginal_costs capability by providing the incremental Capex, incremental Opex, number of new customers, and current capacity headroom.

Can this capability help with capacity planning?

Yes, evaluate_capacity_utilization and capacity_risk_assessment are designed to help you understand how much headroom remains and the financial risks of exceeding it.

What is the difference between Capex and Opex in this capability?

Capex refers to the capital investment for new infrastructure, while Opex refers to the operational expenses required to support the new customer volume.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

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.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Infra Marginal Cost Analyzer.

01
Analyze scale efficiency
This capability checks if your system is actually benefiting from economies of scale or if you're hitting diminishing returns.
02
Calculate marginal costs
Use this to find the specific unit cost of adding new customers based on your current resource constraints.
03
Capacity risk assessment
This capability evaluates the financial risks of adding more customers when you are nearing your capacity limits.
04
Evaluate capacity utilization
This capability calculates how much of your remaining headroom will be eaten up by a specific batch of new customers.

Real work

What teams actually run

New Customer Onboarding

Calculate the marginal cost of a specific batch of new users before they are provisioned.

Capacity Planning

Determine how much headroom remains before a major infrastructure upgrade is required.

Scaling Efficiency Audits

Check if your current infrastructure setup is actually getting cheaper per user as you grow.

Risk Mitigation

Assess the financial danger of aggressive growth targets that might hit capacity limits.

One connector, every AI

Infra Marginal Cost Analyzer 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 Infra Marginal Cost Analyzer 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Infra Marginal Cost Analyzer, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Infra Marginal Cost Analyzer. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
