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 Insulation R-Value Calculator.

  1. 01

    Calculate material thickness

    This capability calculates the exact thickness required to hit a specific R-value target. It works for various insulation types like batt, foam, or rigid board.

  2. 02

    Estimate material cost

    Use this capability to project total material expenses. It calculates costs based on the area being insulated and the thickness of the material used.

  3. 03

    Lookup zone requirements

    This capability retrieves mandatory minimum R-values for specific IECC climate zones. It covers requirements for walls, ceilings, floors, and basements.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Project Bidding

An estimator uses the cost and thickness capabilities to build accurate material quotes for a new build.

02

Code Compliance Checks

A contractor checks the required R-values for a specific zone to ensure the build meets local codes.

03

Material Selection

A designer compares how much spray foam versus rigid board is needed to hit a specific R-value.

04

Budget Planning

A homeowner uses the cost capability to see how much insulation will add to their renovation budget.

Automate a task

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

Insulation R-Value 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.

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 Insulation R-Value Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Insulation R-Value 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 Insulation R-Value Calculator owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals working on building envelopes and thermal efficiency. You can hand off the technical math to your AI client to speed up your estimates.

  • 01

    Construction Estimators

    They use the MCP to quickly generate material quantities and cost estimates for bids.

  • 02

    Building Inspectors

    They use the lookup capability to verify if a structure meets IECC climate zone mandates.

  • 03

    Architects

    They use the thickness calculations to ensure design specs meet thermal requirements.

FAQ

Questions Insulation R-Value Calculator owners ask.

  • 01
