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

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Terrace Design Calculator.

  1. 01

    Calculate grade and capacity

    Use this to define the longitudinal slope of the terrace and its ability to carry water flow.

  2. 02

    Calculate spacing

    This capability finds the optimal distance between terraces to prevent soil erosion on a given slope.

  3. 03

    Design outlet

    This capability specifies the requirements for the water exit point to ensure downstream stability.

  4. 04

    Estimate earthwork

    This capability calculates the total volume of soil movement needed for your construction project.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Agricultural Land Management

Design terrace systems to protect crops and topsoil on hilly farmland.

02

Construction Site Stabilization

Calculate the earthwork needed to build erosion control structures on new builds.

03

Hydrology Modeling

Determine if a terrace channel has enough capacity for specific rainfall intensities.

04

Downstream Protection

Design specific outlets to ensure water exits the terrace system without causing damage.

One connector, every AI

Terrace Design 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 Terrace Design 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. 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 Terrace Design Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Terrace Design Calculator. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
