How does the MCP calculate study hours?

The MCP uses your current proficiency level and your target score to estimate the specific hours needed for each subject.

Can I plan for specific daily study limits?

Yes, you can tell your agent how many hours you can study each day, and it will calculate a timeline in weeks or months.

What kind of study plan does it generate?

It generates a structured plan divided into three phases: Foundation, Intensive, and Review.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

Do I need to host this myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use immediately after you connect.

How accurate are the study hour estimates?

Estimates are based on a complexity weighting model that considers exam difficulty, your starting proficiency, and target percentile. While highly structured, they should be used as a strategic guide rather than an exact prediction.

What exams are supported?

The estimator supports a variety of standardized exams including SAT, GMAT, GRE, and LSAT. You can use estimate_subject_hours to check the breakdown for your specific target exam.

Can I adjust my daily study commitment?

Yes. After calculating your total required hours, you can use the calculate_study_timeline capability to see how changing your daily study hours impacts the total months and weeks required for your plan.

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.
