How does this MCP handle waste?

It applies different waste margins based on whether you define the roof as simple, moderate, or complex.

What clients can I use this with?

You can use this with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

Can it calculate ridge caps?

Yes, it can generate a summary that includes the linear feet needed for ridge caps and starter courses.

Do I need to host this myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP so it is ready to use as soon as you connect.

Does it account for roof pitch?

Yes, it uses the pitch to convert a flat footprint area into the actual sloped surface area.

How do I calculate the actual roof area?

Use the calculate_sloped_area capability. Provide the base footprint area in square feet and the pitch rise (e.g., 4 for a 4:12 pitch). Capabilities available: your_tool_name.

How does complexity affect my order?

Higher complexity levels (like 'complex') add a higher waste percentage to your base area. Use calculate_total_order_quantity to find the final amount including this margin.

Can I get a summary of all materials?

Yes, use summarize_material_order by providing the total squares and optional linear feet for ridge caps or starter courses to get a formatted summary.

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.

One connector, every AI

Roofing Squares Calculator 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 Roofing Squares Calculator 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.
