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.

FAQ

Questions Reverse Cash-and-Carry Engine owners ask.

  • 01

    What is a reverse cash-and-carry arbitrage?

    It is a strategy used in backwardation markets where futures are trading at a discount to the spot price, allowing for arbitrage by selling the expensive spot and buying the cheaper futures.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

  • 03

    How does the engine calculate fair value?

    The engine uses the cost of carry, which includes risk-free rates, borrowing costs, and convenience yields to find the theoretical price.

  • 04

    Does this MCP handle risk management?

    Yes, it includes a capability to evaluate risk metrics by analyzing borrowing costs and convenience yield volatility.

  • 05

    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.

  • 06

    What is the primary market condition this capability targets?

    The engine specifically targets backwardation, where futures prices are lower than the spot price, allowing for a reverse cash-and-carry strategy.

  • 07

    How are trade signals generated?

    Signals are generated via calculate_arbitrage_signals when the actual futures price is lower than the theoretical fair value minus transaction costs, provided the annualized basis is below -8% and liquidity requirements are met.

  • 08

    Can I assess the risk of a trade before executing?

    Yes, you can use evaluate_risk_metrics to analyze the risk profile, including borrowing costs and potential spikes in convenience yield.
