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.

FAQ

Questions Paris Open Data owners ask.

  • 01

    How many traffic counters are available in this MCP?

    The MCP provides access to approximately 3,700 permanent road-traffic counter sites across Paris.

  • 02

    Can I filter traffic data by specific congestion states?

    Yes, you can filter by the exact states stored in the system: "Fluide", "Pré-saturé", "Saturé", or "Inconnu".

  • 03

    How do I find a taxi stand by its location?

    You can use the list_taxi_stands capability to filter by arrondissement or use taxi_stand_lookup to find a stand by its name.

  • 04

    What kind of traffic metrics can my agent retrieve?

    Your agent can retrieve hourly vehicle counts, mean speeds in km/h, and the current congestion state for any site.

  • 05

    Does this MCP require a separate API key for Paris Open Data?

    No, Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages the connection to the Paris open data platform for you.

  • 06

    Do I need an API key?

    No. opendata.paris.fr serves all city datasets anonymously over its Opendatasoft REST API. This MCP defines no credentials and needs nothing configured.

  • 07

    Why does traffic_counts require a site code?

    The counter dataset holds ~29.6M hourly rows, and the ODS platform rejects a bare time-window query over it. Pass an iu_ac site code (from list_traffic_sites) and the window applies to that site.

  • 08

    What are the congestion states?

    Four stored values: "Fluide" (free-flowing), "Pré-saturé" (near capacity), "Saturé" (saturated) and "Inconnu". Accents matter. use them exactly.

  • 09

    Are the taxi stands live?

    No. the dataset is a static official reference of the ~420 stands (name, address, arrondissement, bay count, status), not a real-time occupancy feed.
