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 String Tension Calculator.

  1. 01

    Analyze instrument set profile

    This capability evaluates an entire set of strings to determine total instrument stress and how tension is balanced across the set.

  2. 02

    Derive alternative gauge

    This capability calculates the specific string thickness required to keep tension constant when you change your tuning.

  3. 03

    Calculate single string tension

    This capability finds the physical tension for one individual string based on its pitch and physical properties.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Dropping Tunings

You need to move to a lower tuning without making the strings feel too floppy, so you calculate the required gauge.

02

Instrument Safety

You are installing heavy gauge strings and need to check if the total tension will stress the neck too much.

03

Custom Set Building

You are designing a custom string set and need to ensure the tension balance is even.

04

Pitch Calibration

You need to know the exact tension of a specific string at a specific frequency for technical research.

Automate a task

Put String Tension Calculator to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

String Tension Calculator 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 String Tension Calculator 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 String Tension Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with String Tension Calculator. 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 String Tension Calculator owners hand off.

This MCP is built for anyone who works with stringed instruments and needs to manage physical tension.

  • 01

    Guitarists and Bassists

    They ask the AI to find the right string gauges for custom tunings.

  • 02

    Luthiers

    They use the capability to ensure total string tension stays within safe limits for new builds.

  • 03

    Instrument Technicians

    They check tension balance and stress profiles during setups and repairs.

FAQ

Questions String Tension Calculator owners ask.

  • 01

    How can I use this MCP with Claude?

    You connect the MCP through Vinkius to your Claude client. Once connected, you can ask Claude to perform all the tension calculations directly in your chat.

  • 02

    Can this help me avoid breaking my guitar?

    Yes. By using the capability to analyze the total instrument stress of a full string set, you can avoid using gauges that put too much cumulative tension on the neck.

  • 03

    What happens if I change my tuning?

    You can use the capability to find a new string gauge that keeps the tension the same as your original tuning, so the feel of the instrument doesn't change too much.

  • 04

    Do I need to provide the scale length?

    Yes. To get accurate tension results, you must provide the scale length along with the pitch and gauge.

  • 05

    Is this for electric or acoustic instruments?

    The math applies to any stringed instrument where you can provide the scale length, pitch, and material properties.

  • 06

    How accurate are the tension calculations?

    The calculations use precise physics formulas based on frequency, scale length, and material density constants for steel, nickel, bronze, and nylon.

  • 07

    Can I use this to check if a new tuning is safe for my guitar?

    Yes. Use analyze_instrument_set_profile to see the total tension in kg and lbs. If the total tension significantly exceeds your instrument's rated capacity, you should adjust your gauge using derive_alternative_gauge.

  • 08

    What materials are supported?

    The calculator supports steel, nickel, bronze, and nylon strings.
