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 Spot Distance Calculation.

  1. 01

    Verify navigation feasibility

    This capability checks if a target bearing falls within a specific allowed deviation. It's useful for determining if a heading is acceptable for a given path.

  2. 02

    Calculate estimated travel time

    This capability calculates how many minutes a trip will take. You provide the distance and speed to get a duration estimate.

  3. 03

    Get distance and bearing

    This capability finds the great-circle distance and the compass bearing between two geographic points. It handles the spherical geometry for you.

  4. 04

    Get distance to landmark collection

    This capability identifies the closest landmark from a provided list. It compares a starting point against a collection of coordinates to find the nearest match.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Route Planning

An agent calculates the distance and bearing between two cities to plan a flight path.

02

Fleet Management

A logistics agent estimates arrival times for delivery vehicles based on current speed.

03

Navigation Constraints

A drone agent checks if a new target heading is within its allowed deviation limit.

04

Point of Interest Search

A travel agent finds the nearest gas station or landmark from a list of coordinates.

One connector, every AI

Spot Distance Calculation 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 Spot Distance Calculation 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 Spot Distance Calculation, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Spot Distance Calculation. 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 Spot Distance Calculation owners hand off.

This is for anyone building agents that need to interact with the physical world or map data.

  • 01

    Logistics Coordinators

    They hand off route planning and travel time estimation to the agent.

  • 02

    GIS Analysts

    They use the agent to perform quick distance and bearing checks between coordinates.

  • 03

    Robotics Developers

    They use the capability to verify if a robot's heading is within feasible limits.

FAQ

Questions Spot Distance Calculation owners ask.

  • 01

    What math formula does this MCP use?

    This MCP uses the Haversine formula to calculate great-circle distances between two points.

  • 02

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

    Yes, this MCP is compatible with any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    Does it calculate travel time in hours or minutes?

    The capability calculates the estimated travel time in minutes.

  • 04

    How does it find the nearest landmark?

    It uses the get_distance_to_landmark_collection capability to find the closest point in a provided list.

  • 05

    Is there a way to check if a heading is valid?

    Yes, you can use the verify_navigation_feasibility capability to see if a bearing is within an allowed deviation.

  • 06

    How is the distance calculated?

    The distance is calculated using the Haversine formula, which accounts for the Earth's curvature to provide the shortest great-circle distance.

  • 07

    Can I find the closest landmark from a list?

    Yes, you can use the get_distance_to_landmark_collection capability to identify the nearest landmark from a provided array of coordinates.

  • 08

    Does it support bearing calculations?

    Yes, the get_distance_and_bearing capability provides the compass bearing (0-360 degrees) required to reach a target destination.
