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

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Resource Usage Accountant.

  1. 01

    Apply thresholds

    Sets or updates specific resource limits for a given scope.

  2. 02

    Get usage summary

    Retrieves a breakdown of current resource consumption and remaining limits for a specific scope.

  3. 03

    Record consumption

    Logs incremental resource usage to keep counters accurate and deterministic.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Loop Prevention

Stop an agent from infinitely looping and consuming all available CPU time.

02

Budget Management

Limit the network bytes an agent can use to control data transfer costs.

03

Multi-Agent Isolation

Assign different resource limits to different agents running in the same environment.

04

System Stability

Ensure a single heavy task doesn't starve other processes of memory.

One connector, every AI

Resource Usage Accountant 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 Resource Usage Accountant 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. 3 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 Resource Usage Accountant, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

FAQ

Questions Resource Usage Accountant owners ask.

  • 01

    What resources does this MCP track?

    It monitors CPU time, memory, file descriptors, and network bytes.

  • 02

    How do I prevent an agent from using too much memory?

    You use the apply_thresholds capability to set a specific memory limit for that agent or session.

  • 03

    Can I use this with Cursor or Windsurf?

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

  • 04

    How does the agent know it has reached a limit?

    The agent can use the get_usage_summary capability to check its current consumption against the set thresholds.

  • 05

    Is this hosted by Vinkius?

    Yes, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP so it is ready to use immediately upon connection.

  • 06

    How do I check if an agent is approaching its limits?

    You can use the get_usage_summary capability to retrieve the current usage and the remaining limits for a specific agent or session.

  • 07

    Can I set different limits for different agents?

    Yes, you can use apply_thresholds to define custom maximum allowable values for CPU, memory, file descriptors, or network bytes for any specific scope.

  • 08

    When should I record resource consumption?

    You should call record_consumption after every execution step to ensure the cumulative counters accurately reflect the agent's resource footprint.
