How do I use this MCP with Claude?

You connect to the MCP through the Vinkius platform. Once connected, you can simply ask Claude to perform kite drag or anchor load calculations.

Can this calculate tension for sand anchors?

Yes, the capability can determine the tension force applied to a sand anchor and check if that anchor is safe for the load.

What wind data do I need to provide?

You should provide the wind speed and any information about gusts to get an accurate drag force calculation.

Does this work for large kites?

Yes, you can input the surface area of any kite to find the specific drag force it will experience.

Is the anchor safety check reliable?

The capability assesses if the selected anchor can withstand the calculated load based on the physics provided.

How does this capability account for wind gusts?

When isGusting is set to true in get_drag_force, the capability increases the effective wind speed to simulate peak forces during sudden gusts.

What anchor types are supported?

The system supports deadweight, fluke, and screw anchors, each with different holding capacities.

Can I get a full safety report at once?

Yes, you can use get_system_status to receive a comprehensive summary including total drag, tension, safety margin, and a status rating.

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 Kite Tether Drag.

01
Check anchor safety
This capability checks if your chosen anchor can hold the calculated load. It tells you if the anchor is likely to fail under current conditions.
02
Get anchor load
This capability determines the tension force being applied to your sand anchor. It helps you understand the exact pull on your ground setup.
03
Get drag force
This capability calculates the estimated drag force the wind is exerting on your kite. It uses wind speed and kite surface area to find the force.
04
Get system status
This capability provides a full safety summary for your entire kite flight setup. It looks at the combined factors to give you a clear safety overview.

Real work

What teams actually run

Pre-flight Safety Check

Run a check on your anchor and kite drag before you launch in new wind conditions.

Anchor Selection

Determine if a deadweight anchor or a different type is needed for a specific load.

Wind Gust Assessment

Calculate how gusts will affect the tension on your tether and anchor.

Equipment Stress Testing

Use the drag force numbers to see if your tethers are rated for the wind.

One connector, every AI

Kite Tether 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.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Kite Tether 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

It does not authenticate your account with Kite Tether Drag. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
