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

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Paddle-Out Calorie Estimator.

  1. 01

    Check current safety

    This capability checks if a specific water current is too strong for a standard paddle-out attempt. It compares current velocity against expected paddling speeds to flag dangerous conditions.

  2. 02

    Calculate paddle expenditure

    This capability provides a full physiological breakdown of a paddle-out. It calculates the total time required and the calories burned based on your mass and the current.

  3. 03

    Get session summary

    This capability generates a high-level overview of your energy balance. It shows whether the current provides an energy advantage or creates a deficit.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Pre-surf Safety Check

Check if a specific current speed makes a paddle-out too difficult before you enter the water.

02

Training Log Integration

Feed your session data into your AI client to track caloric expenditure over time.

03

Session Planning

Estimate how much time you'll spend paddling to ensure you have enough daylight left.

04

Energy Management

Determine if an incoming current will give you an energy advantage for a longer session.

One connector, every AI

Paddle-Out Calorie Estimator 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 Paddle-Out Calorie Estimator 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 Paddle-Out Calorie Estimator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

Who it's for

Built for the work Paddle-Out Calorie Estimator owners hand off.

This is built for surfers and ocean enthusiasts who want to quantify the physical demands of their sessions.

  • 01

    Surfers

    Use the MCP to plan sessions and monitor physical exertion.

  • 02

    Surf Coaches

    Hand off current and distance data to an agent to assess safety for students.

  • 03

    Fitness Enthusiasts

    Track the caloric impact of ocean activities for training logs.

FAQ

Questions Paddle-Out Calorie Estimator owners ask.

  • 01

    How does the MCP calculate calories?

    It uses your body mass, the distance of the paddle-out, and the velocity of the current to determine total physiological energy expenditure.

  • 02

    Can I use this with Claude?

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

  • 03

    Does it account for current direction?

    Yes, it distinguishes between outgoing currents that increase effort and incoming currents that provide an energy advantage.

  • 04

    How do I know if a current is unsafe?

    The check_current_safety capability compares the current speed against standard paddling capabilities to flag if a current is too strong.

  • 05

    What information do I need to provide?

    You'll typically need to provide your body weight, the distance to the lineup, and the speed of the current.

  • 06

    How does the current affect my calorie calculation?

    An outgoing current increases the effective distance you must paddle, which increases the total calories burned. An incoming current reduces the effort required.

  • 07

    Can I use this to check if it is safe to go out?

    Yes, you can use the check_current_safety capability to determine if the current speed is within safe limits for a standard paddle-out attempt.

  • 08

    What factors are included in the energy estimation?

    The calculation includes your weight, the distance to the target, the speed of the water current, and a standard metabolic constant for surfing.
