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

FAQ

Questions Reading Time Estimator owners ask.

  • 01

    How does the MCP calculate reading time?

    It uses the word count of the text combined with your specified reading speed and the complexity of the material.

  • 02

    Can I use this with Claude?

    Yes, you can connect this MCP to any compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    Can it tell me when I will finish a book?

    Yes, if you provide the total reading time and how many minutes you plan to read each day, it will calculate the completion date.

  • 04

    Does it account for different reading speeds?

    Yes, you can choose between slow, average, or fast reading speeds for your estimates.

  • 05

    How do I compare two different reading schedules?

    You can ask your agent to compare two different daily reading programs to see the difference in time saved.

  • 06

    How does the complexity factor work?

    If you set isTechnical to true in estimate_reading_duration, the capability applies a 1.5x multiplier to account for denser content.

  • 07

    Can I estimate based on pages instead of words?

    Yes, by providing pageCount and wordsPerPage to the estimate_reading_duration capability, it will calculate the total word count automatically.

  • 08

    Does it support different reading speeds?

    Yes, you can choose between 'slow', 'average', and 'fast' benchmarks in the speedLevel parameter.
