How does this MCP prevent breaking changes?

It checks if a target version incrementing the major version violates the existing constraints, flagging it as a breaking change.

Can I use this with Cursor or VS Code?

Yes, you can connect this MCP to any compatible client including Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Claude.

What is the difference between caret and tilde constraints?

The MCP can explain these differences; generally, caret allows minor and patch updates, while tilde is more restrictive, focusing on patch updates.

Do I need to host the MCP myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use immediately after connection.

Does it support all SemVer formats?

The capability includes a specific capability to validate that version strings follow standard semantic versioning syntax.

How can I check if a version update is safe?

Use the check_compatibility_status capability with your current and target versions to see if it satisfies the constraint without breaking changes. Capabilities available: your_tool_name.

Does this support caret and tilde constraints?

Yes, the engine handles caret (^), tilde (~), and exact version matches.

How do I know if a change is breaking?

The check_compatibility_status capability will set the breaking_change_flag to true if the major version increases.

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

SemVer Compatibility Checker 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 SemVer Compatibility Checker 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of SemVer Compatibility Checker, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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