How do I use this MCP with Claude?

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

Can I get my training zones in miles?

Yes. The capabilities provide training zones in both metric (min/km) and imperial (min/mile) formats.

What if I don't have a recent race time?

You can use the VO2max capability to calculate your training zones based on your physiological capacity instead of a race result.

How does it predict my pace for longer races?

The MCP uses Riegel's formula to estimate how your pace will change as you move from shorter distances to longer ones.

Do I need to host this myself?

No. Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and start using the capabilities.

How do I calculate my training zones from a recent race?

Use the calculate_zones_from_pace capability. Provide your recent race pace in 'mm:ss' format and the distance of that race (e.g., 5K or 10K).

Can I estimate my marathon pace from a 5K result?

Yes, you can use the estimate_distance_conversion capability. Input your current 5K pace and set the target distance to 'Marathon' to see the predicted performance.

Waiting for input…

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.

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 Training Pace Calculator.

01
Calculate zones from pace
This capability calculates training intensity zones using a recent race pace. It returns specific zones like Easy and Tempo in both km and mile formats.
02
Estimate distance conversion
This capability uses Riegel's formula to predict your pace for a different distance. It helps you see how your current performance translates to longer races.
03
Calculate zones from vo2max
This capability derives training intensity zones from your VO2max value. It provides metric and imperial pace outputs for all training levels.

Real work

What teams actually run

Post-Race Planning

Input a recent 5K time to immediately see your new training zones for the next block.

Distance Transitioning

Predict how a marathon pace might look based on your current 10K performance.

VO2max Based Training

Set your weekly training intensity using only your physiological capacity.

Metric to Imperial Conversion

Get your training targets in min/km or min/mile depending on your preference.

Automate a task

Put Training Pace Calculator to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Training Pace 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 Training Pace 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Training Pace Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Training Pace Calculator. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
