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

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Snow Friction Engine.

  1. 01

    Analyze snow structure

    This capability examines the microscopic state of snow crystals. It provides the structural data needed to build accurate friction models.

  2. 02

    Calculate friction metrics

    This capability runs a full diagnostic on the interaction between the snow and your ski base. It outputs friction coefficients and glide speed factors.

  3. 03

    Get wax compatibility

    This capability checks if a specific wax type works for your current environment. It verifies suitability based on temperature and moisture.

  4. 04

    Predict glide capability

    This capability estimates how well a specific gear setup will perform. It compares expected performance against a baseline.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Race Day Prep

A technician uses the MCP to find the exact wax compatibility for a specific race course temperature.

02

Backcountry Planning

An athlete checks glide capability to see how their setup will handle changing snow types.

03

Equipment Testing

Researchers use friction metrics to compare how different base materials react to the same snow structure.

04

Weather Response

Users adjust their gear strategy as air and snow temperatures shift throughout the day.

One connector, every AI

Snow Friction Engine 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 Snow Friction Engine 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 Snow Friction Engine, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Snow Friction Engine. 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 Snow Friction Engine owners hand off.

This MCP is built for anyone who needs technical snow data to make gear decisions.

  • 01

    Ski Technicians

    They hand off snow conditions to the AI to determine the best wax for a race kit.

  • 02

    Winter Athletes

    They use the AI to predict how their gear will perform as temperatures change during a session.

  • 03

    Snow Science Researchers

    They use the capabilities to model the interaction between snow structures and various base materials.

FAQ

Questions Snow Friction Engine owners ask.

  • 01

    What can this MCP calculate?

    It calculates friction coefficients, glide speed factors, and wax compatibility based on snow and air temperatures.

  • 02

    How does it handle wax selection?

    The get_wax_compatibility capability checks if a specific wax is suitable for the current moisture and temperature conditions.

  • 03

    Do I need to host this myself?

    No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and it is ready to use.

  • 04

    Which AI clients can use this?

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

  • 05

    Can it analyze snow crystals?

    Yes, the analyze_snow_structure capability provides data on the microscopic state of the snow.

  • 06

    How do I calculate the friction coefficient?

    Use the calculate_friction_metrics capability by providing the snow temperature, air temperature, snow type, and base material.

  • 07

    Can I check if my wax is suitable for the current snow?

    Yes, use the get_wax_compatibility capability with the target wax type, snow temperature, and humidity.

  • 08
