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.

FAQ

Questions Plant Purchase Optimizer owners ask.

  • 01

    How does the MCP decide which plants to buy?

    It uses an optimization engine to select the combination of plants that results in the highest total priority score while staying under your budget.

  • 02

    Does it account for sales tax?

    Yes, you can provide a tax rate, and the MCP will include it in all budget calculations.

  • 03

    Can I make certain plants mandatory?

    Yes, the engine handles constraints like mandatory 'must-have' plants during the optimization process.

  • 04

    What AI clients can I use with this MCP?

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

  • 05

    Does it find discounts?

    Yes, the MCP includes a capability to identify seasonal promotions and discounts for specific plants or categories.

  • 06

    How does the budget allocation work?

    The system first ensures all 'must-have' plants are included. Then, it uses the remaining budget to select plants with the highest user-assigned priority scores.

  • 07

    Does the budget include sales tax?

    Yes, the calculate_budget_allocation capability incorporates the provided tax rate into the final cost of each plant to ensure the total stays within your limit.

  • 08

    Can I use seasonal discounts?

    Yes. You can use get_seasonal_promotions to identify active discounts and then pass those multipliers to the allocation capability.
