How does this MCP determine slope difficulty?

It uses slope angle, length, snow conditions, and visibility to assign a rating like Blue or Black.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

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

Does it account for weather?

Yes, the capability evaluates environmental impacts like visibility and grooming to adjust the difficulty.

What kind of skill info does it provide?

It provides a breakdown of specific maneuvers you should be able to perform to navigate a slope safely.

How does it handle fall line risk?

It analyzes the risk of descending the most direct path, which can help identify high-speed acceleration risks.

How does the capability determine the difficulty rating?

The calculate_slope_difficulty capability uses the slope angle, length, snow condition, obstacle presence, grooming status, and visibility to classify the terrain.

Can I check the risk of a direct descent?

Yes, you can use analyze_fall_line_risk to evaluate the danger level and descent behavior of the most direct path down a slope.

What specific skills do I need for a Black diamond slope?

You can use get_skill_requirements with the difficulty rating to see a list of required maneuvers and the physical demand.

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.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Slope Steepness Rating.

01
Analyze fall line risk
This capability assesses the danger of descending the most direct path down a slope. It helps you understand the speed and control risks of a fall line descent.
02
Calculate slope difficulty
This capability determines the primary difficulty rating and the skill level you need. It uses physical terrain data and environmental inputs to set the rating.
03
Evaluate environmental impact
This capability calculates how much visibility and grooming change the difficulty. It measures how much the real world deviates from a perfect geometric slope.
04
Get skill requirements
This capability provides a breakdown of the specific maneuvers you must perform to stay safe. It lists the technical skills required for a specific rated slope.

Real work

What teams actually run

Safety Planning

Assess if a specific slope's fall line risk is too high for current snow conditions.

Skill Matching

Check if your current technical maneuvers match the requirements of a rated slope.

Condition Adjustments

Calculate how poor visibility changes the difficulty of a previously rated run.

Route Selection

Determine the difficulty of a descent path using length and angle inputs.

One connector, every AI

Slope Steepness Rating 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 Steepness Rating 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 Slope Steepness Rating, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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