What can this MCP calculate?

It calculates monthly energy savings in kWh, monetary cost savings, CO2 emission reductions, and the payback duration for LED upgrades.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

You can use this with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code.

Do I need to host this myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect and use it.

Can I use this for commercial lighting projects?

Yes, the capabilities work for any scale, from single bulbs to large-scale facility retrofits.

How do I calculate the payback period?

You use the calculatePaybackDuration capability by providing the bulb cost and the expected savings.

What can I calculate with this capability?

You can use calculateKwhSavings to find energy savings, and calculatePaybackDuration to see how long it takes to recover your investment. Capabilities available: your_tool_name.

Does it support different bulb types?

Yes, the logic accounts for transitions from incandescent or fluorescent bulbs to LED technology.

How is CO2 reduction calculated?

By using calculateEmissionReduction, you can estimate the mass of CO2 prevented based on your monthly kWh savings and a regional emission factor.

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.

One connector, every AI

LED Upgrade 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 LED Upgrade 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.
