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.

Automate a task

Put Permify to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Permify 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 Permify 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. 21 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 Permify, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

FAQ

Questions Permify owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect this MCP to my Permify instance?

    You just need to provide your Permify API URL and Secret Token during the setup process in Vinkius.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    Can I manage multiple tenants at once?

    Yes, the MCP includes capabilities to create, list, and delete isolated tenants.

  • 04

    Does this MCP support fine-grained access control?

    Yes, it is designed specifically to manage Permify's fine-grained authorization and relationship models.

  • 05

    Can I update existing schemas?

    Yes, you can use the write_schema or partial_write_schema capabilities to manage your authorization models.

  • 06

    Can I check permissions for multiple users or resources at once?

    Yes! Use the bulk_check_permissions capability. It allows you to send a list of check requests in a single call, making it efficient for auditing complex views or batch processing.

  • 07

    How do I update only a small part of my authorization model?

    You can use the partial_write_schema capability. Instead of overwriting the entire model, you provide a map of entity updates to modify specific parts of your schema.

  • 08

    Is it possible to manage isolated environments for different customers?

    Absolutely. Use the create_tenant capability to spin up new isolated authorization silos. You can then use list_tenants to keep track of all active environments.
