How does this MCP calculate PageRank loss?

It calculates retention by accounting for the standard 85% authority loss that occurs at each redirect hop in a chain.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

Can this capability help with site migration SEO?

Yes, it helps by analyzing redirect sequences to ensure you aren't losing too much link equity during the move.

What is the difference between permanent and temporary redirects in this capability?

The classify_redirect_steps capability identifies whether each step in a sequence is a permanent or temporary move.

Do I need to host this myself?

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

What is the PageRank loss calculation model?

The capability assumes an 85% loss of authority at every hop in the redirect chain. For example, after one redirect, only 15% of the original PageRank remains.

How can I identify permanent vs temporary redirects?

You can use the classify_redirect_steps capability. It analyzes your sequence of status codes and labels each step as either 'Permanent' (e.g., 301, 308) or 'Temporary' (e.g., 302, 307).

Can this capability help with URL consolidation?

Yes. The generate_consolidation_advice capability evaluates the chain and provides specific recommendations, such as implementing a direct redirect strategy to bypass intermediate hops.

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.

One connector, every AI

Redirect Chain Analyzer works with the most popular AI clients.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Redirect Chain Analyzer 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.
