Connect Phase-Gated Lifecycle Manager to ChatGPT and Claude

Set it up once and it works in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and any other client you love. It all runs safely in the background, so you can relax and focus on what really matters. Force your agents to follow strict, predictable execution paths.

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

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Phase-Gated Lifecycle Manager.

  1. 01

    Get current state

    This capability provides a snapshot of where your agent currently stands in the lifecycle.

  2. 02

    Transition to next phase

    This capability attempts to move the workflow forward to the next logical state in the sequence.

  3. 03

    Check phase invariants

    This capability triggers a manual evaluation of all safety and logic rules required for the current phase.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Secure Capability Execution

The agent is prevented from calling sensitive capabilities if it hasn't passed the required permission checks.

02

Automated Data Pipelines

Ensures data is validated against structural rules before the agent moves to the completion phase.

03

Regulated Workflow Management

Forces agents to follow a strict audit trail of initialization, execution, and validation.

04

Agentic Error Prevention

Stops an agent from proceeding to the next step if the current phase's invariants are not met.

One connector, every AI

Phase-Gated Lifecycle Manager 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 Phase-Gated Lifecycle Manager 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 Phase-Gated Lifecycle Manager, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Phase-Gated Lifecycle Manager. 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 Phase-Gated Lifecycle Manager owners hand off.

This is for developers and engineers building autonomous agents that require high reliability and strict safety protocols.

  • 01

    AI Engineer

    Building agents that must follow specific business logic or safety constraints.

  • 02

    DevOps Engineer

    Implementing automated workflows that require strict validation before deployment.

  • 03

    System Architect

    Designing deterministic state machines for complex agentic operations.

FAQ

Questions Phase-Gated Lifecycle Manager owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP prevent an agent from skipping steps?

    It uses a deterministic state machine that only allows transitions to the next logical phase once all current invariants are satisfied.

  • 02

    What are phase invariants?

    Invariants are hard rules, like permission boundaries or structural integrity checks, that must be true for the agent to proceed.

  • 03

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

    You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 04

    Can I manually check if the agent is safe to proceed?

    Yes, you can use the check_phase_invariants capability to trigger a manual evaluation of the current phase's rules.

  • 05

    Does Vinkius host this MCP?

    Yes, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP, so you can connect it with one click without managing the underlying infrastructure.

  • 06

    How do I check if my agent can move to the next phase?

    You can use the get_current_state capability to check the canTransition boolean, or call check_phase_invariants to see exactly which rules are blocking progress.

  • 07

    What happens if an invariant check fails?

    If an invariant fails, the transition_to_next_phase capability will block the transition, ensuring the agent cannot proceed until the required safety or structural conditions are met.

  • 08

    Does this manager support custom invariants?

    The manager enforces core invariants like PERMISSION_BOUNDARY and STRUCTURAL_INTEGRITY to maintain strict control over the agent lifecycle.
