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 Ride-Hail Surge Estimator.

  1. 01

    Get peak status

    Checks if a specific time falls within high-demand commuting windows. It returns whether the requested time is considered a peak period.

  2. 02

    Estimate surge multiplier

    Calculates the final surge multiplier and total fare based on rain, peak status, and location. It provides a full breakdown of the contributing factors.

  3. 03

    Validate environmental inputs

    Verifies that the weather and location data provided are valid for the calculation. This ensures the estimation capability receives usable data.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Travel Budgeting

Ask your AI client to estimate the cost of a ride before you head out in the rain.

02

Logistics Automation

Integrate surge predictions into a larger automated scheduling workflow.

03

Commuter Planning

Check if a specific time is a peak period to avoid high surge multipliers.

04

Price Monitoring

Use the capability to see how much a trip's cost changes when moving from a non-CBD to a CBD area.

One connector, every AI

FAQ

Questions Ride-Hail Surge Estimator owners ask.

  • 01

    How does rain affect the surge estimate?

    The MCP uses rain intensity to calculate a rain factor that increases the surge multiplier.

  • 02

    Does this MCP work with any AI client?

    Yes, it works with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 03

    Can I check if a time is a peak hour?

    Yes, you can use the get_peak_status capability to check if a specific time is within a high-demand window.

  • 04

    Is the pricing deterministic?

    Yes, the MCP provides deterministic surge multipliers and fare estimations based on the inputs provided.

  • 05

    What factors influence the final fare?

    The final fare is determined by the base fare, rain intensity, peak hour status, and whether the location is in a CBD.

  • 06

    How is the surge multiplier calculated?

    The multiplier starts at 1.0 and increases based on rain intensity, peak hour timing, and whether the location is in a CBD during peak hours, up to a maximum cap of 2.5.

  • 07

    Can I check if it is currently peak hour?

    Yes, you can use the get_peak_status capability to determine if a specific time falls within the high-demand morning or evening windows.

  • 08

    Does rain affect the price?

    Yes, the estimate_surge_multiplier capability adds a factor of 0.2 for every 5mm/hr of rainfall intensity.
