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.

Automate a task

Put Liveblocks 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

Liveblocks 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 Liveblocks 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. 19 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 Liveblocks, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

FAQ

Questions Liveblocks owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect this MCP to my AI client?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your Liveblocks Secret Key. Once connected, you can use it immediately in any compatible client like Claude or Cursor.

  • 02

    Do I need to use the Liveblocks dashboard to manage rooms?

    No. This MCP allows you to create, list, update, and delete rooms directly through your AI agent.

  • 03

    Can I manage user permissions through the agent?

    Yes. You can authorize users and obtain access tokens with specific permissions using the provided capabilities.

  • 04

    Is it possible to inspect the state of a Yjs document?

    Yes. You can use the agent to get a JSON representation of a Yjs document or view its version history.

  • 05

    Can I see who is currently in a room?

    Yes. You can use the list_active_users capability to see exactly who is currently participating in a room.

  • 06

    How can I see which users are currently active in a specific collaboration room?

    You can use the list_active_users capability by providing the Room ID. The agent will return a list of all users currently connected to that room, including their connection IDs and associated info.

  • 07

    Is it possible to inspect or modify the shared state of a room from the AI?

    Yes! Use get_storage to retrieve the current LSON/JSON storage tree or patch_storage to update specific keys in the room's shared state. For Yjs-based rooms, you can use get_ydoc and update_ydoc.

  • 08

    Can I manage user comments and discussion threads through this integration?

    Absolutely. You can use list_threads to see all discussions in a room, create_thread to start a new one, and resolve_thread to mark a discussion as completed.
