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.

A futuristic MCP client docking bay
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 Upstash QStash 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

Upstash QStash 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 Upstash QStash 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. 38 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 Upstash QStash, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

FAQ

Questions Upstash QStash owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect my Upstash account?

    You just need to provide your QStash Token from the Upstash Console during the connection process on Vinkius.

  • 02

    Can I use this with Cursor or VS Code?

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

  • 03

    What happens if a message fails?

    Failed messages go to the Dead Letter Queue (DLQ), where you can use the MCP to list, inspect, or retry them.

  • 04

    Does this support FIFO queues?

    Yes, you can use the enqueue_message capability to add messages to specific queues for FIFO or controlled parallelism.

  • 05

    Can I schedule recurring tasks?

    Yes, the MCP includes capabilities to list, pause, resume, and delete cron-based schedules.

  • 06

    How can I schedule a message to be sent later?

    Use the publish_message capability and provide the delay parameter (e.g., '10m' for 10 minutes) or a not_before Unix timestamp.

  • 07

    What happens if a message fails all retry attempts?

    The message is moved to the Dead Letter Queue (DLQ). You can use list_dlq to find it and retry_dlq_message to attempt delivery again.

  • 08

    Can I manage recurring tasks like cron jobs?

    Yes! You can use list_schedules to see existing ones, and pause_schedule or resume_schedule to control them.
