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 · 1 capability

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01

1 capability in this set.

Part of 1 available through ini.

  1. 01

    Parse ini

    This capability converts INI or JSON content into the opposite format. It handles sections, nested keys, and inline comments for files like my.cnf or .editorconfig.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Config Inspection

Convert a large php.ini file to JSON so your agent can easily search for specific memory or timeout settings.

02

Environment Setup

Generate a new .editorconfig file from a JSON object to standardize code formatting across a project.

03

Database Tuning

Extract specific sections from a MySQL my.cnf file to analyze performance parameters.

04

Git Configuration

Transform Git config files into JSON to programmatically audit user settings.

Automate a task

Put ini to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

ini 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 ini 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. 1 capability arrives 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 ini, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with ini. 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 ini owners hand off.

DevOps engineers and backend developers who manage legacy systems and infrastructure configurations.

  • 01

    DevOps Engineer

    Hands off infrastructure config updates to an agent for rapid deployment.

  • 02

    Backend Developer

    Uses the capability to transform environment settings into JSON for application logic.

  • 03

    System Administrator

    Automates the parsing of MySQL or PHP configuration files.

FAQ

Questions ini owners ask.

  • 01

    What files can this MCP parse?

    It handles common formats like php.ini, my.cnf, .editorconfig, and Git config files.

  • 02

    Does it support nested keys?

    Yes, the capability handles nested key.subkey syntax during conversion.

  • 03

    Will I lose my sections when converting to JSON?

    No, the engine is designed to preserve sections during the bidirectional conversion process.

  • 04

    Is the parsing accurate?

    The MCP uses the same ini package that powers npm, which has over 55 million weekly downloads.

  • 05

    Can I convert JSON back to INI?

    Yes, you can specify the json-to-ini direction to turn structured data back into configuration files.

  • 06

    Does it preserve INI sections?

    Yes. INI sections like [database] become nested JSON objects and are fully restored when converting back to INI format.

  • 07

    What config files does this work with?

    Any INI-format file: php.ini, my.cnf (MySQL), .editorconfig, Git config, Windows .ini files, and custom application configs.

  • 08

    Does it handle comments?

    Yes. Lines starting with ; or # are treated as comments and properly handled during parsing. Comments are stripped from the JSON output.
