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 Pottery Clay Calculator owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP account for clay lost during trimming?

    It uses a waste factor provided in your prompt to calculate the extra clay needed to cover those losses.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use this with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 03

    Can I get a full breakdown of my batch?

    Yes, the get_batch_summary capability provides the net weight, waste weight, and total weight in one response.

  • 04

    Do I need to host this myself?

    No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP so it is ready to use immediately after connection.

  • 05

    Can I calculate just the net weight without waste?

    Yes, the get_net_clay_weight capability calculates the weight for a specific number of pieces without any waste factored in.

  • 06

    How do I calculate the total clay needed for my studio run?

    You can use the get_total_clay_requirement capability by providing the number of pieces, the target weight per piece, and your expected waste percentage.

  • 07

    What is a reasonable waste percentage for pottery?

    Waste percentages vary by scale. For small handcrafted items, a lower percentage might suffice, while industrial scales often require a larger buffer to account for higher loss rates.

  • 08
