How do I use this MCP with my AI client?

You connect once through the Vinkius platform. After that, any MCP-compatible client like Claude or Cursor can use the capabilities directly.

Can this MCP help me reduce paper waste?

Yes. By using the orientation comparison capability, your agent can find the layout that fits the most templates on a single sheet.

Will it tell me if my margins are too large?

Yes. The validation capability checks your requested margins against the physical limits of the master sheet to ensure the layout is possible.

What kind of printing jobs is this for?

It is designed for any printing or paper manufacturing workflow where you need to calculate how many items fit on a sheet.

Do I need to host this myself?

No. Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect and start working.

How do I find the best way to arrange my templates?

You can use the compare_orientations capability to compare standard and rotated layouts to find the most efficient fit.

Can I account for paper waste in my calculations?

Yes, the calculate_sheet_yield capability includes a wasteRate parameter to account for unavoidable material loss.

How does the capability handle margins?

The capability applies margins to all sides of the sheet. You can use validate_margin_constraints to ensure your requested margins are physically possible for your sheet size.

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.

Real work

What teams actually run

Print Run Planning

Calculate exactly how many sheets of paper to order for a large batch of flyers or cards.

Waste Reduction

Compare different template rotations to see which one uses the least amount of scrap paper.

Feasibility Checks

Verify that a specific template size and margin set can actually fit on your available paper stock.

Cost Estimation

Use yield efficiency data to understand the material cost per finished unit.

One connector, every AI

Paper Craft Yield 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 Paper Craft Yield 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.
