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 · 3 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Storage Bitrate Balancer.

  1. 01

    Calculate bitrate ceiling

    Finds the highest average bitrate you can use without going over a specific byte limit.

  2. 02

    Estimate total footprint

    Predicts the final size of a video file based on your chosen bitrate and duration.

  3. 03

    Verify compliance

    Checks if your video settings will stay under a platform's limit by including a 10% safety buffer.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Social Media Uploads

Ensure your video fits within the specific size limits of Instagram or YouTube.

02

Storage Budgeting

Calculate how many videos you can store based on your available disk space.

03

Quality Optimization

Find the absolute highest bitrate possible for a fixed file size to maximize visual quality.

04

Pre-encode Validation

Verify your encoding settings against a target limit before starting a long render.

One connector, every AI

Storage Bitrate Balancer 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 Storage Bitrate Balancer 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. 3 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 Storage Bitrate Balancer, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Storage Bitrate Balancer. 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 Storage Bitrate Balancer owners hand off.

This MCP is built for anyone managing video assets who needs to hit specific file size targets without trial and error.

  • 01

    Video Editors

    They hand off bitrate and file size calculations to their AI to prep files for export.

  • 02

    Social Media Managers

    They use the AI to ensure video content meets the strict upload limits of various platforms.

  • 03

    Media Engineers

    They rely on the capability to validate encoding configurations against storage budgets.

FAQ

Questions Storage Bitrate Balancer owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP handle audio and container overhead?

    It automatically includes a 10% safety margin in all calculations to ensure the video stays under the limit.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

  • 03

    Can I use this to check limits for YouTube?

    Yes, you can use the compliance capability to check if your video settings will stay within platform constraints like YouTube.

  • 04

    Does this MCP require a subscription?

    Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP, allowing you to connect and use it through your existing Vinkius subscription.

  • 05

    What is the difference between bitrate ceiling and total footprint?

    The ceiling capability finds the max bitrate for a set size, while the footprint capability predicts the size for a set bitrate.

  • 06

    What is the purpose of the 10% safety margin?

    The 10% margin reserves space for audio streams and container metadata overhead, ensuring your video does not exceed the hard file size limit.

  • 07

    How can I check if my video will fit on Instagram?

    You can use the verify_compliance capability by providing your target bitrate, duration, and the Instagram size limit (e.g., 250MB in bytes).

  • 08

    Does this capability work for YouTube or TikTok?

    Yes, you can use any platform's size limit as the input for calculate_bitrate_ceiling to find your maximum allowed bitrate.
