How do I use this with Claude or Cursor?

You connect to Vinkius once, and the MCP becomes available in your client. From there, you just talk to your agent about your knitting math.

Can I use this for crochet?

Yes, the math for stitch counts and yarn consumption works for both knitting and crochet.

Does it work with any yarn weight?

Yes, the yarn consumption capability uses the weight class you provide to estimate length.

How accurate are the shaping schedules?

The capability generates a precise chronological roadmap based on the specific row intervals and stitch counts you provide.

Do I need to install anything on my computer?

No, Vinkius hosts the MCP, so you just connect your client and it is ready to use.

How do I calculate my starting stitches?

You can use the calculate_base_dimensions capability. Provide your target width in cm, target height in cm, and your stitch and row gauge to get the exact cast-on count.

Can I use this for crochet patterns?

Yes, the logic for stitch and row counts applies to both knitting and crochet projects.

How does the yarn estimation work?

The estimate_yarn_consumption capability uses the total number of stitches worked and a multiplier specific to your yarn weight class (like Worsted or Bulky) to predict the required length.

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.

Curated set · 3 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Knitting Gauge Calculator.

01
Generate shaping schedule
This capability builds a row-by-row roadmap for your increases and decreases. It tracks every instance where the stitch count changes so you know exactly which row to perform a shaping move.
02
Calculate base dimensions
This capability determines the starting stitch and row counts needed to hit your target physical dimensions. It uses your specific gauge to find the exact numbers for your cast-on and total row count.
03
Estimate yarn consumption
This capability predicts the total length of yarn you'll need for a project. It calculates requirements based on the total number of stitches worked and the weight class of your yarn.

Real work

What teams actually run

Custom Garment Sizing

You provide your body measurements and gauge to get the exact cast-on numbers for a sweater.

Complex Shaping Logic

You give the AI a rule for decreases, and it gives you a full schedule of every row where you need to act.

Yarn Inventory Planning

You check if you have enough yarn in your stash by estimating consumption for a specific stitch count.

Pattern Drafting

You use the base dimension capability to build the foundation of a new pattern from scratch.

One connector, every AI

Knitting Gauge 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.

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

You don't need a client to put Knitting Gauge Calculator 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.
