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.

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.
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.
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

01-04
4 capabilities in this set.
Part of 4 available through Refinery Turnaround Planner.
- 01
Calculate resource requirements
This capability estimates the total man-hours and equipment needed based on your specific project scope.
- 02
Estimate turnaround duration
Use this to predict the total time required to finish the turnaround, including buffers for inspection delays.
- 03
Get critical path
This capability identifies the specific sequence of tasks that determines your total turnaround length.
- 04
Simulate scope expansion
This capability evaluates how the project timeline and critical path change when new inspection findings are added to the scope.
Real work
What teams actually run
Scope Change Analysis
When an inspection reveals a new issue, use the AI to see how that change affects the critical path.
Labor Planning
Check if your current contractor headcount can handle the peak man-hour requirements of the turnaround.
Schedule Optimization
Find the sequence of tasks that determines your total duration to focus management efforts.
Timeline Buffering
Predict a realistic completion date by including buffers for expected inspection-driven delays.
One connector, every AI
Refinery Turnaround Planner 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.

Le ChatBuilding your own app? The connector is yours to use.
You don't need a client to put Refinery Turnaround Planner 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.

FAQ
Questions Refinery Turnaround Planner owners ask.
- 01
What AI clients can I use with this MCP?
You can use this MCP with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.
- 02
How does the MCP handle unexpected inspection findings?
The simulate_scope_expansion capability allows your agent to evaluate how new findings change the critical path and total duration.
- 03
Can this capability help with contractor management?
Yes, the calculate_resource_requirements capability estimates the man-hours and equipment needed to help you ensure contractor availability.
- 04
Do I need to host the MCP myself?
No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and start working.
- 05
How does it identify project bottlenecks?
The get_critical_path capability identifies the specific sequence of tasks that dictates the total turnaround duration.
- 06
How does the capability identify the critical path?
The get_critical_path capability analyzes the sequence of dependent tasks to find the longest chain of activities that determines the total turnaround duration.
- 07
Can I simulate the impact of unexpected repairs?
Yes, you can use simulate_scope_expansion to see how new inspection findings will change the critical path and increase the total duration.
- 08
How are resource shortages handled?
The calculate_resource_requirements capability compares the required man-hours and equipment against provided contractor availability to identify specific resource shortfalls.
