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 Shading Device Calculator.

  1. 01

    Calculate horizontal depth

    This capability finds the minimum projection depth required for horizontal louvers. It uses solar position and cutoff angles to determine the necessary size.

  2. 02

    Calculate vertical width

    This capability calculates the minimum width needed for vertical fins. It helps you size vertical shading elements based on specific solar geometry.

  3. 03

    Validate compliance

    This capability audits your shading device dimensions. It checks if your current design meets your target solar cutoff angles.

  4. 04

    Get solar position

    This capability calculates the sun's position. It provides the altitude and azimuth for a specific latitude and time.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

New Building Design

Calculate the necessary louver depth for a new glass facade based on local solar paths.

02

Compliance Verification

Check if a proposed shading installation meets the required solar cutoff angles for a project.

03

Site Analysis

Determine the sun's position at a specific site to plan for seasonal solar heat gain.

04

Retrofit Planning

Size vertical fins to mitigate glare on an existing building facade.

Automate a task

Put Shading Device Calculator to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Shading Device 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 Shading Device 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.

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 Shading Device Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Shading Device 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 Shading Device Calculator owners hand off.

Architects and engineers use this MCP to automate the math behind solar shading design.

  • 01

    Architects

    They use the capability to size louvers and fins during the early design phases.

  • 02

    Sustainability Consultants

    They use the compliance capability to verify that shading meets thermal comfort standards.

  • 03

    Facade Engineers

    They use the precise geometry capabilities to specify exact dimensions for building envelopes.

FAQ

Questions Shading Device Calculator owners ask.

  • 01

    What can this MCP calculate?

    It calculates solar altitude and azimuth, horizontal louver depth, vertical fin width, and shading compliance.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

  • 03

    Do I need to host the MCP myself?

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

  • 04

    Can I check if my current shading design works?

    Yes, you can use the validate_compliance capability to check if your dimensions meet your target solar cutoff angles.

  • 05

    Does this work for both horizontal and vertical shading?

    Yes, there are specific capabilities for calculating horizontal louver depth and vertical fin width.

  • 06

    What does the calculator determine?

    It calculates the minimum depth for horizontal louvers and the maximum width for vertical fins needed to block sunlight based on solar trigonometry.

  • 07

    How do I use the compliance capability?

    Use validate_compliance by providing your current device dimensions, solar position, and target cutoff angle to check if the shading is effective.

  • 08

    What inputs are required for solar position?

    You need the latitude of the site, the day of the year, and the time of day in HH:mm format.
