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.

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.
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.
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 · 4 capabilities
We ship only the actions that matter.
01-04
4 capabilities in this set.
Part of 4 available through Kite Line Drag.
- 01
Calculate drag force
This capability calculates the total resistance force that lines exert on water flow. It uses the specific dimensions and current speeds you provide.
- 02
Compare material performance
Use this to see how two different line materials perform under the same configuration. It highlights the drag differences between material choices.
- 03
Estimate power loss
This capability determines the amount of energy lost to drag relative to the potential energy your system captures.
- 04
Evaluate efficiency impact
This provides a high-level check on whether line drag makes a specific kite deployment viable or inefficient.
Real work
What teams actually run
Material Selection
Compare how different line materials affect the drag characteristics of a kite tether.
System Sizing
Determine if a specific number of lines will cause too much resistance for a given kite.
Efficiency Audits
Calculate the exact power loss percentage for a proposed underwater deployment.
Design Validation
Check if the calculated drag force stays within the acceptable limits of your engineering model.
One connector, every AI
Kite Line Drag 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 Line Drag 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.

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 Line Drag, so you can see the experience inside your AI.
It does not authenticate your account with Kite Line Drag. 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 Kite Line Drag owners hand off.
This MCP is built for professionals designing underwater kite energy systems.
- 01
Marine Energy Engineer
Hands off tether specifications to the AI to run rapid hydrodynamic simulations.
- 02
Hydrodynamicist
Uses the capability to model resistance forces in varying current speeds.
- 03
Systems Designer
Checks if material choices meet the power efficiency requirements of a deployment.
FAQ
Questions Kite Line Drag owners ask.
- 01
What kind of math does this MCP use?
It uses the cylindrical drag equation to calculate resistance forces for submerged lines.
- 02
Can I compare different tether materials?
Yes, the compare_material_performance capability lets you evaluate how different materials affect drag for the same setup.
- 03
Which AI clients can use this?
You can use this with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.
- 04
Does this help with power output calculations?
Yes, it includes capabilities to estimate power loss and evaluate the impact of drag on deployment viability.
- 05
Do I need to host this myself?
No, Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages everything so it is ready to use once you connect.
- 06
How does the tangle factor affect the results?
The tangle factor acts as a multiplier that increases the effective resistance, simulating conditions where lines bunch together or overlap in the water flow.
- 07
Can I compare different line materials?
Yes, you can use compare_material_performance to see the drag difference and percentage improvement when switching between two different material coefficients.
- 08
What determines if a kite deployment is viable?
Viability is assessed using evaluate_efficiency_impact, which compares the calculated power loss against a user-defined design threshold.
