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.

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

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Shipping Route Optimization.

  1. 01

    Get optimal route

    This capability finds the most efficient path between two points by factoring in environmental conditions and vessel limits.

  2. 02

    Analyze weather impact

    Use this to see how forecasted wind and waves will affect your vessel's performance on a specific route.

  3. 03

    Calculate vessel consumption

    This capability predicts fuel usage by combining vessel efficiency curves with environmental resistance data.

  4. 04

    Check route compliance

    This capability validates that a route follows maritime restrictions and stays within the vessel's draft limits.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Fuel Optimization

An agent calculates the most efficient path to minimize fuel burn for a specific tanker.

02

Weather Routing

A user asks the AI to check if a planned route is safe given forecasted wave heights.

03

Regulatory Compliance

The AI checks if a proposed route through a canal violates draft or restriction rules.

04

Arrival Estimation

A manager uses fuel and route data to predict arrival times and resource needs.

One connector, every AI

Shipping Route Optimization 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 Shipping Route Optimization 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.

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 Shipping Route Optimization, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Shipping Route Optimization. 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 Shipping Route Optimization owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals managing maritime logistics and tanker operations.

  • 01

    Fleet Managers

    They hand off route planning and fuel estimation tasks to the AI.

  • 02

    Logistics Coordinators

    They use the AI to verify route compliance and safety risks.

  • 03

    Marine Operations Officers

    They rely on the AI to assess weather impacts on vessel performance.

FAQ

Questions Shipping Route Optimization owners ask.

  • 01

    What kind of vessels is this MCP designed for?

    This MCP is specifically designed for oil and gas tankers, using vessel-specific efficiency curves and constraints.

  • 02

    How does the MCP handle weather data?

    It uses real-time environmental data to analyze how wind and waves will impact a vessel's performance along a specific route.

  • 03

    Can I use this with my existing AI capabilities?

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

  • 04

    Does it check for maritime restrictions?

    Yes, the check_route_compliance capability validates that routes do not violate maritime restrictions or vessel draft limits.

  • 05

    How is fuel consumption calculated?

    The capability calculates fuel burn by looking at the vessel's specific efficiency curves and the resistance caused by environmental conditions.

  • 06

    How does the routing prioritize fuel efficiency?

    When the get_optimal_route capability is called with the priority set to 'fuel', it selects paths that utilize favorable ocean currents and minimize wave resistance to reduce total consumption.

  • 07

    Can I check if a route is safe for a specific tanker?

    Yes, you can use analyze_weather_impact to get a safety score based on weather conditions, or check_route_compliance to verify that the route respects vessel draft and restricted zones.

  • 08

    What factors affect the fuel consumption calculation?

    The calculate_vessel_consumption capability calculates fuel burn based on the specific vessel's efficiency profile, the intended speed over ground, and environmental resistance from waves and currents.
