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.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Slope Aspect Effect.

  1. 01

    Get sun exposure

    This capability calculates the total hours of direct sunlight a specific slope receives.

  2. 02

    Get terrain shadow status

    Use this to find out if a slope is currently sitting in the shadow of a nearby mountain feature.

  3. 03

    Get wind loading effect

    This capability determines the amount of snow being redistributed onto a slope by the wind.

  4. 04

    Predict snow stability

    This capability provides a prediction of snowpack stability by analyzing environmental stressors.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Route Planning

Check if a slope is leeward or wind-loaded before heading out.

02

Risk Assessment

Predict snowpack stability using sun and wind data.

03

Solar Impact Studies

Calculate how many hours of sun a slope receives to understand melt cycles.

04

Terrain Mapping

Identify areas of the mountain that remain in shadow due to surrounding features.

One connector, every AI

Slope Aspect Effect 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 Slope Aspect Effect 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 Slope Aspect Effect, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Slope Aspect Effect. 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 Slope Aspect Effect owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals who need to quantify terrain-based environmental risks.

  • 01

    Avalanche Forecasters

    They hand off terrain data to the AI to model snowpack stability risks.

  • 02

    Backcountry Guides

    They use the capability to check sun and wind exposure for planned routes.

  • 03

    Mountain Researchers

    They use the data to study how wind and solar radiation affect snow distribution.

FAQ

Questions Slope Aspect Effect owners ask.

  • 01

    What can this MCP calculate regarding sun exposure?

    It calculates the specific number of hours a slope receives direct sunlight based on its orientation and latitude.

  • 02

    How does the MCP handle wind data?

    It uses the wind loading capability to determine how much snow is being redistributed onto a slope by the wind.

  • 03

    Can I use this to check for avalanche risk?

    Yes, you can use the capability to predict snowpack stability by analyzing environmental stressors like wind and sun.

  • 04

    Does it account for terrain shading?

    Yes, it can determine if a slope is currently in the shadow of a neighboring terrain feature.

  • 05

    Which AI clients work with this MCP?

    It works with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 06

    How does this capability help with avalanche safety?

    By using predict_snow_stability, you can assess how solar radiation and wind loading contribute to snowpack instability, helping to identify high-risk areas.

  • 07

    Can I check if a slope is in the shade?

    Yes, the get_terrain_shadow_status capability determines if a slope is currently obscured by neighboring terrain features.

  • 08

    What inputs are required for sun exposure?

    To use get_sun_exposure, you need the slope aspect, latitude, current season, time of day, cloud cover, and whether terrain shadowing is present.
