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 · 4 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Sailing VMG Calculator.

  1. 01

    Calculate apparent wind

    This capability determines the specific wind conditions experienced on your vessel.

  2. 02

    Calculate vmg performance

    Use this to find the efficiency of your current heading relative to a target course.

  3. 03

    Estimate leeway

    This capability predicts the sideways drift caused by wind pressure on the hull.

  4. 04

    Get optimal angles

    This capability finds the most efficient headings for upwind and downwind travel based on your boat's characteristics.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Racing Tactics

Your agent calculates the best heading to maximize VMG during an upwind leg.

02

Drift Correction

Use the leeway capability to predict how much wind pressure will push you off course.

03

Wind Condition Analysis

Determine the apparent wind speed and angle to adjust your sail trim.

04

Course Planning

Find the most efficient angles for traveling upwind or downwind.

One connector, every AI

Sailing VMG 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.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 4 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 Sailing VMG Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

Who it's for

Built for the work Sailing VMG Calculator owners hand off.

This MCP is built for sailors and racing teams who want to use AI to handle complex performance math.

  • 01

    Tacticians

    Hand off wind and heading calculations to the AI to make faster tactical decisions.

  • 02

    Helmsmen

    Use the AI to check VMG and optimal angles during a race.

  • 03

    Performance Analysts

    Provide the AI with boat data to run precise vector math and leeway estimates.

FAQ

Questions Sailing VMG Calculator owners ask.

  • 01

    What can this MCP calculate?

    It calculates apparent wind, VMG performance, leeway, and optimal sailing angles.

  • 02

    Do I need to provide my own boat data?

    Yes, the AI uses your boat characteristics and current wind/speed data to provide accurate results.

  • 03

    Which AI clients work with this MCP?

    It works with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code.

  • 04

    Is the math deterministic?

    Yes, this MCP uses deterministic sailing vector mathematics for all calculations.

  • 05

    How do I use it in my workflow?

    You simply connect it once via Vinkius and then ask your AI agent to perform sailing calculations as part of your conversation.

  • 06

    How do I calculate my apparent wind?

    You can use the calculate_apparent_wind capability by providing the true wind speed, true wind angle, and your current boat speed.

  • 07

    Can I find my best sailing angles?

    Yes, the get_optimal_angles capability uses your boat's polar data to find the most efficient upwind and downwind headings.

  • 08

    What is VMG?

    Velocity Made Good (VMG) is the speed component in the direction of your target course. You can calculate this using calculate_vmg_performance.
