Le ChatBuilding your own app? The connector is yours to use.
You don't need a client to put Traction Pad Optimizer 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication
The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Traction Pad Optimizer, so you can see the experience inside your AI.
It does not authenticate your account with Traction Pad Optimizer. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ
Questions Traction Pad Optimizer owners ask.
- 01
How does wave type affect the pad design?
Wave type determines the intensity coefficient. For example, using get_wave_intensity_coefficient with a 'hollow' wave type will result in a higher coefficient, which leads to a larger kickAngle in the geometry calculations to prevent sliding during aggressive turns.
- 02
Can I check if a specific pad will fit my board?
Yes, you can use the validate_pad_fit capability. By providing the tail width, pad width, and pad length, the capability returns whether the configuration is viable and the remaining clearance margin.
- 03
How is the pad position adjusted for my stance?
The optimize_stance_alignment capability adjusts the target pad position by accounting for your stance width and back foot size, ensuring the arch bar is correctly positioned under your pressure points.
