How do I connect this MCP to my AI client?

You connect once through the Vinkius platform. Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages the connection, so you can use it immediately in Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

Can I use percentage-based rules?

Yes. You can define rules based on fixed dollar amounts or percentages of your total paycheck or the remaining balance.

What happens if my budget rules exceed my income?

The MCP includes a validation capability. Your agent will use it to check if your rules are mathematically possible and will alert you if they exceed your total paycheck.

Does this MCP connect to my bank account?

No. This MCP provides the logic and math for your plan. It generates instructions for you to follow, but it does not execute the transfers itself.

Which AI clients are compatible?

This MCP works with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

How do I ensure my budget is mathematically possible?

You can use the validate_rule_consistency capability to check if your fixed obligations and percentage-based rules fit within your total paycheck amount.

Can I set specific amounts for my rent or mortgage?

Yes, you can define these as fixed-dollar rules. The planner will prioritize these amounts before calculating any percentage-based distributions.

What happens to the money left over after all rules are applied?

The remaining amount is identified as residual cash. You can use generate_transfer_plan to receive instructions on how to move this residual cash to a designated buffer account.

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.

How Vinkius works: one connection, every tool, in any AI

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 · 4 capabilities

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Paycheck Allocation Planner 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.
