What does this MCP actually do?

It treats your job search as a time budget. It helps you divide your available hours across different phases like resume building and interviewing so you don't run out of time.

Which AI clients can I use this with?

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

Can I use this to plan a technical job search?

Yes. You can tell your agent you want a technical-heavy focus, and it will allocate more time to portfolio construction and interview prep.

How does it help with unexpected delays?

The validate_buffer_capacity capability checks if your plan has enough extra time to handle delays without missing your deadline.

Do I need to host this myself?

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

How do I know if my job search plan is safe?

You can use the validate_buffer_capacity capability to check if your planned hours leave enough slack to handle unexpected delays or recruiter response times.

Can I customize my time distribution?

Yes. You can use get_phase_allocation with different strategic profiles like 'technical-heavy' or 'volume-based', or use generate_weekly_schedule with custom phase weights.

How do I track my weekly progress?

Use calculate_deadline_burn to see how many hours you should spend per week to stay on track for your specific deadline.

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.
