How do I connect OpenMeter to my AI client?

You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and enter your OpenMeter API Key. Once connected, your AI client can immediately use the available capabilities.

Can I use this to bill for AI tokens?

Yes. You can use the ingest_event capability to send token counts to OpenMeter and then manage subscriptions and payments.

Does this integrate with Stripe?

Yes. The MCP includes a capability to create Stripe checkout sessions, allowing you to initiate payments through your agent.

What kind of usage data can I track?

You can track any event you define, such as API calls, token counts, or any other metered resource.

Is this compatible with Cursor or Windsurf?

Yes, this MCP works with any MCP-compatible client, including Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

How do I record that a user just consumed 500 tokens in an AI prompt?

Use the ingest_event capability. Provide the event type (e.g., 'prompt'), the subject (customer ID), and a JSON payload containing the count (e.g., {"tokens": 500}). OpenMeter will handle the aggregation automatically.

Can I check the current status and metadata of a specific billable customer?

Yes! Use the get_customer capability with the customer's ID or Key. It will return the customer's name, usage attribution settings, and internal identifiers.

How do I set a usage limit or entitlement for a customer?

Use the create_entitlement capability. You'll need the customerId and a JSON configuration defining the feature and the limit (e.g., a hard limit of 1000 units per month).

Waiting for input…

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

OpenMeter 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 OpenMeter 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of OpenMeter, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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