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 Kraken.io.

  1. 01

    Get user status

    Check your Kraken.io account details and remaining usage quota. Use this to see how much data you have left in your current plan.

  2. 02

    Optimize URL

    Optimize an image located at a specific web address. This capability handles compression, resizing, and format conversion for any provided URL.

  3. 03

    Upload image

    Process a base64 encoded image directly. This allows your agent to optimize images that are already part of your current text or code workflow.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Automated Web Optimization

A developer tells their agent to optimize a batch of image URLs to improve site speed.

02

Asset Preparation

A designer uses the MCP to quickly resize a high-resolution photo for a specific UI component.

03

Workflow Integration

A content manager processes base64 images directly within a coding or writing environment.

04

Quota Management

A user asks their agent to check if they have enough remaining credits before a large batch job.

Automate a task

Put Kraken.io to work on one thing.

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

Kraken.io 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 Kraken.io 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. 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 Kraken.io, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

FAQ

Questions Kraken.io owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I use Kraken.io with Claude?

    You connect the MCP through Vinkius. Once connected, you can give Claude image URLs or base64 data to process.

  • 02

    Does this use my paid Kraken.io credits?

    Yes, it uses your Kraken.io account quota. However, you can use the 'dev' mode to test things without consuming credits.

  • 03

    Can I resize images to specific dimensions?

    Yes. You can instruct your agent to use exact, portrait, or landscape strategies for resizing.

  • 04

    What kind of images can I optimize?

    The MCP supports various formats through Kraken.io's compression and conversion engines.

  • 05

    Do I need to host the MCP myself?

    No. Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use immediately after connection.

  • 06

    How can I check my remaining Kraken.io quota?

    Use the get_user_status capability. It will return your plan name, total quota, used quota, and exactly how much remains in your account.

  • 07

    Can I resize an image while it's being optimized?

    Yes! Both optimize_url and upload_image support a resize parameter. You can specify width, height, and a strategy like 'exact', 'portrait', or 'landscape'.

  • 08

    Is there a way to test the API without using my paid credits?

    Yes, you can set the dev parameter to true in your optimization requests. This uses the API Sandbox, which returns randomized results and does not consume your quota.
