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

FAQ

Questions Trail Waypoint Distance owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I use this MCP with Claude?

    You connect the MCP through the Vinkius platform. Once connected, your AI client can call the trail distance capabilities directly during your conversation.

  • 02

    Can this MCP validate my trail data?

    Yes. You can use the validate_waypoint_sequence capability to check if a list of distances corresponds to a valid and continuous trail path.

  • 03

    What kind of statistics can I get?

    The get_trail_statistics capability provides a summary including the total distance, average segment length, longest segment, and shortest segment.

  • 04

    Do I need to host this myself?

    No. Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use as soon as you connect it.

  • 05

    Can I get the distance for just one part of a trail?

    Yes. Use the get_segment_distance capability to retrieve the distance for a specific interval between two waypoints.

  • 06

    How do I calculate the total length of my trail?

    You can use the get_total_trail_distance capability by providing an array of distances for each segment between your waypoints.

  • 07

    Can I get a summary of all segment lengths?

    Yes, the get_trail_statistics capability provides the total distance, average segment length, longest segment, shortest segment, and the total waypoint count.

  • 08

    How are waypoints counted?

    The number of waypoints is always exactly one greater than the number of segments provided in the distance list.
