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 Max Pain Calculator.

  1. 01

    Get strike loss breakdown

    This capability provides a detailed view of the specific call and put losses contributing to the total at any given strike.

  2. 02

    Calculate max pain

    This capability finds the specific strike price that minimizes total losses for all option holders and flags potential pin risk.

  3. 03

    Validate market data

    This capability checks your provided options data to ensure it is logically consistent.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Expiration Strategy

Your agent identifies pin risk to help you decide if a strike is likely to be hit at expiration.

02

Market Sentiment Analysis

You use the max pain point to understand where the market might gravitate.

03

Data Verification

You check your raw options data for logical errors before running complex models.

04

Strike Analysis

You request a loss breakdown to see how much call vs put interest is driving a specific strike.

    What is max pain in options trading?

    Max pain is the strike price where the total loss for all option holders is at its lowest. It is a point used to estimate where a stock price might settle at expiration.

  • 02

    How does this MCP identify pin risk?

    The MCP identifies pin risk if the underlying price is within 1% of the calculated max pain strike.

  • 03

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

    Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf through Vinkius.

  • 04

    What data do I need to provide for a calculation?

    You need to provide the strike prices, call and put open interest, and the current underlying price.

  • 05

    Does this MCP host the data?

    No, you provide the market data in your prompt, and the MCP performs the calculations on that data.

  • 06

    What is the Max Pain point?

    The Max Pain point is the strike price where the total aggregate loss for all option holders is minimized, often used to estimate where market makers might drive the price.

  • 07

    How do I know if there is pin risk?

    The calculate_max_pain capability automatically flags pin risk if the underlying price is within 1% of the calculated max pain strike.

  • 08
