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 Multi-Modal Token Calculator.

  1. 01

    Optimize image resolution

    This capability suggests better image dimensions to lower your token count without losing necessary detail.

  2. 02

    Calculate token usage

    This capability provides a full breakdown of total tokens, estimated costs, and how tokens are split across different modalities.

  3. 03

    Analyze modality balance

    This capability checks how much of your prompt relies on non-textual data like images or audio.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Cost Control

Check the token count of a large audio file before sending it to a model to avoid high fees.

02

Visual Input Optimization

Resize high-resolution images to the most efficient dimensions for your specific model.

03

Prompt Composition

Analyze if a prompt is too heavy on images to ensure the model focuses on the right data.

04

Budget Forecasting

Use the breakdown of costs to plan the budget for high-volume multi-modal tasks.

One connector, every AI

Multi-Modal Token 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 Multi-Modal Token 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.

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 Multi-Modal Token Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

FAQ

Questions Multi-Modal Token Calculator owners ask.

  • 01

    What kind of inputs can this MCP calculate?

    It handles text, images, and audio inputs.

  • 02

    How does it help with image costs?

    It suggests new dimensions for your images to minimize token usage while trying to keep quality high.

  • 03

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

    Yes, it works with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 04

    Does it provide cost estimates?

    Yes, the calculate_token_usage capability provides a breakdown of total tokens and costs.

  • 05

    Is the token calculation deterministic?

    Yes, it provides deterministic estimation for major model architectures.

  • 06

    How does the capability handle image tokenization for GPT-4V?

    For GPT-4V, the calculate_token_usage capability partitions images into 512x512 tiles, where each tile costs 85 tokens, with a maximum of 4 tiles per image.

  • 07

    Can I reduce my token costs for large images?

    Yes, you can use the optimize_image_resolution capability to suggest new dimensions that minimize token usage while maintaining your required quality threshold.

  • 08

    What is included in the modality balance report?

    The analyze_modality_balance capability provides a report identifying if the prompt is text-dominant, visual-dominant, or audio-dominant based on the token counts provided.
