What does this MCP actually do?

It calculates if adding more items to a shopping cart will result in a lower net cost by triggering higher discount tiers.

Which AI clients can use this?

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

Do I need to host this myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect it to your client.

Can it tell me exactly how much to spend to get a discount?

Yes, the find_optimal_strategy capability identifies the most cost-effective filler amount to reach a higher tier.

Is this for real-time shopping?

Yes, you can provide your current cart totals to your agent to get immediate mathematical advice.

How does the simulator determine if an upsell is beneficial?

The engine compares your current net cost to the new net cost after adding a filler item. If the higher discount percentage reduces the total amount paid (including the filler) below your original spending level, it is flagged as beneficial.

What capabilities are available in this MCP server?

The server provides check_discount to see your current savings, calculate_upsell_impact to test specific filler amounts, and find_optimal_strategy to automatically find the best possible threshold to reach.

Can I use my own discount rules?

Yes. You can pass your specific spending thresholds and corresponding discount percentages as a JSON array to any of the capabilities.

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.

One connector, every AI

Tiered Discount Simulator 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 Tiered Discount Simulator 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.
