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

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Tieback Economics Engine.

  1. 01

    Validate host capacity

    This capability checks if a tieback is physically possible based on the host's capacity limits. It compares your production profile against the available headroom on the host facility.

  2. 02

    Calculate breakeven distance

    This capability finds the specific distance where a standalone development becomes more profitable than a tieback. It identifies the economic tipping point for your field location.

  3. 03

    Compare development options

    This capability runs a side-by-side NPV comparison for tieback and standalone scenarios. It helps you pick the most profitable development strategy.

  4. 04

    Estimate operational costs

    This capability calculates the total lifecycle OPEX for your development options. It includes host tariffs and other operational expenses in the model.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Field Selection

Decide if a new discovery should be tied back to an existing platform or developed as a standalone unit.

02

Capacity Auditing

Check if a proposed production profile will exceed the limits of a host facility.

03

Distance Optimization

Determine the maximum distance a tieback can be from a host before it loses its economic advantage.

04

Cost Estimation

Model the total lifecycle operating expenses for various offshore development configurations.

One connector, every AI

Tieback Economics Engine 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 Tieback Economics Engine 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.

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 Tieback Economics Engine, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Tieback Economics Engine. 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 Tieback Economics Engine owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals managing offshore asset portfolios and field development planning.

  • 01

    Asset Managers

    They use the agent to quickly run sensitivity checks on field viability.

  • 02

    Subsea Engineers

    They hand off production profiles to the AI to verify host capacity constraints.

  • 03

    Economic Analysts

    They use the capability to generate NPV comparisons for development decision-making.

FAQ

Questions Tieback Economics Engine owners ask.

  • 01

    What can this MCP do for offshore economics?

    It allows your AI client to calculate NPV, estimate OPEX, find breakeven distances, and verify host capacity for offshore developments.

  • 02

    How does it compare tieback and standalone options?

    It uses the compare_development_options capability to calculate and compare the Net Present Value (NPV) for both scenarios.

  • 03

    Can it check if a tieback is physically possible?

    Yes, the validate_host_capacity capability checks if your production profile fits within the host's capacity limits.

  • 04

    What is the breakeven distance?

    The breakeven distance is the specific distance from a host where a standalone development becomes more economical than a tieback.

  • 05

    Does it include operating costs?

    Yes, the estimate_operational_costs capability models total lifecycle OPEX, including host tariffs.

  • 06

    How does the capability handle host capacity constraints?

    The validate_host_capacity capability checks the production profile against the host limit. If any annual production exceeds the limit, the tieback is flagged as infeasible.

  • 07

    What is the break-even distance?

    It is the distance where the cost of the tieback pipeline equals the cost of a standalone facility, which can be found using calculate_breakeven_distance.

  • 08

    Does the NPV calculation include host tariffs?

    Yes, when using compare_development_options, the tieback NPV accounts for the host tariff per barrel produced.
