How does sequential discounting differ from additive discounting?

Sequential discounting applies each percentage to the new, reduced price, whereas additive discounting adds the percentages together first. This MCP calculates the sequential method to ensure accuracy.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, you can connect this MCP to any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf through Vinkius.

Does this MCP provide standard retail discount ranges?

Yes, the list_discount_tiers capability provides standard ranges for scenarios like Seasonal, Clearance, and VIP.

How do I know if my discount numbers are valid?

You can use the validate_discount_parameters capability to check if your prices and percentages are logically sound before calculating.

Do I need to host this myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and start using the capabilities.

What is the difference between sequential and additive discounts?

Sequential discounts apply the second percentage to the price remaining after the first discount, whereas additive discounts sum the percentages together before applying them to the original price.

How can I verify if my discount inputs are valid?

You can use the validate_discount_parameters capability to check if the original price and discount percentages are within logical bounds.

Can I see standard retail discount ranges?

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.
