One connector, every AI
Kite Friction Engine 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.

Le ChatBuilding your own app? The connector is yours to use.
You don't need a client to put Kite Friction Engine 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. 4 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 Kite Friction Engine, so you can see the experience inside your AI.
It does not authenticate your account with Kite Friction Engine. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ
Questions Kite Friction Engine owners ask.
- 01
How do I calculate the impact of salt buildup on my pulley?
You can use the estimate_environmental_degradation capability. Provide the initial friction force and the salt accumulation level to find the additional friction force caused by salt buildup.
- 02
Can I check if my kite will respond to a steering command?
Yes, use simulate_steering_response by providing the applied control force and the total friction force to see if movement is possible and estimate latency.
- 03
What bearing types are supported?
The system supports ball, bush, and ceramic bearings. You can use get_bearing_properties to retrieve the specific friction coefficient for each type.
