How do I use this MCP with my AI client?

You connect to the MCP through the Vinkius platform. Once connected, your AI client like Claude or Cursor can automatically call the capabilities provided by this MCP.

Can this MCP help with stereoselectivity?

Yes. The evaluate_selectivity_profile capability provides guidance on the spatial and positional outcomes of a reaction.

Does this capability check for side reactions?

Yes. You can use the check_functional_group_compatibility capability to see if a reagent will interfere with other groups in your molecule.

What kind of reaction data can I get?

You can get optimal reagents, required temperature and solvent conditions, and selectivity profiles for various transformations.

Do I need to host the MCP myself?

No. Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and start using the capabilities.

How do I find the best reagents for my reaction?

You can use the find_optimal_reagents capability by providing the starting material and the desired product structure.

Can I check if a reagent is safe for my specific molecule?

Yes, use check_functional_group_compatibility to validate if a reagent will interfere with other functional groups in your molecule.

What reaction conditions will be provided?

The get_reaction_conditions capability provides the required temperature range, the ideal solvent system, and the typical reaction duration.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

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 · 4 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Reagent Selection Guide.

01
Get reaction conditions
Use this to find the exact temperature and solvent requirements needed for a specific reagent to function.
02
Check functional group compatibility
This capability validates whether a reagent will react with unintended functional groups in your molecule.
03
Evaluate selectivity profile
This capability provides guidance on the expected regioselectivity and stereoselectivity outcomes of a reaction.
04
Find optimal reagents
This capability identifies the best chemical substances to use for a specific transformation based on your starting material and target product.

Real work

What teams actually run

Route Design

Ask your agent to suggest a sequence of reagents to move from a starting material to a complex product.

Troubleshooting

Check if a reagent is reacting with an unintended functional group in your substrate.

Protocol Optimization

Find the specific temperature and solvent needed to make a reagent work correctly.

Stereochemistry Planning

Use the selectivity capability to predict the spatial outcome of a transformation.

One connector, every AI

Reagent Selection Guide 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 Reagent Selection Guide 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Reagent Selection Guide, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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