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 Tide Calculator.

  1. 01

    Get lunar phase modifier

    This capability retrieves the multiplier used to scale tidal amplitude based on the current moon phase.

  2. 02

    Predict tidal currents

    This capability determines the direction and speed of water movement based on the current tide state.

  3. 03

    Predict tide levels

    This capability calculates the predicted times and heights for high and low tides for a specific date and location type.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Navigation Planning

An agent calculates the best window for a vessel to enter a shallow harbor based on predicted tide heights.

02

Environmental Monitoring

A researcher asks for the lunar phase modifier to adjust expected tidal ranges for a specific date.

03

Current Tracking

A user checks the ebb or flood speed at a specific time to plan water movement analysis.

04

Automated Marine Logs

An agent populates daily marine reports with predicted high and low tide times.

One connector, every AI

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

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

This MCP is built for professionals who need to integrate oceanographic data into automated workflows or intelligent agents.

  • 01

    Marine Navigators

    They hand off tide and current calculations to an agent to plan safe passages.

  • 02

    Coastal Engineers

    They use the agent to pull tidal amplitude data for site assessments.

  • 03

    Marine Biologists

    They use tidal schedules to time field observations and sampling.

FAQ

Questions Tide Calculator owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP calculate tide levels?

    It uses deterministic sinusoidal approximation and lunar correlation to predict heights and times.

  • 02

    Can I check water movement speed?

    Yes, the predict_tidal_currents capability determines both the direction and the speed of the water.

  • 03

    Does the moon phase affect the results?

    Yes, the get_lunar_phase_modifier capability provides a multiplier to scale tidal amplitude based on the moon phase.

  • 04

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

  • 05

    Is this data real-time?

    The MCP provides predictions based on mathematical models for specific dates and locations.

  • 06

    How accurate are these tide predictions?

    Predictions use a sinusoidal approximation with a 12h 25m period and adjust for spring/neap cycles based on lunar phases.

  • 07

    What tidal patterns are supported?

    The server supports semidiurnal, diurnal, and mixed tidal patterns.

  • 08

    Can I find out if the current is flood or ebb?

    Yes, by using predict_tidal_currents, you can determine if the water is moving toward the shore (flood) or away from it (ebb).
