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.

How Vinkius works: one connection, every tool, in any AI
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

We ship only the actions that matter.

FAQ

Questions Travel Carbon Comparator owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP calculate emissions?

    It uses distance, occupancy, cabin class, and lodging tiers to calculate CO2e metrics.

  • 02

    Can I compare a flight to a train trip?

    Yes, you can use the comparison capability to evaluate the footprint of different itineraries side by side.

  • 03

    Does it include hotel stays in the calculation?

    Yes, there is a specific capability to determine the carbon impact of lodging based on the length of stay.

  • 04

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

  • 05

    Do I need to host the MCP myself?

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

  • 06

    How does cabin class affect the results?

    Cabin class changes the emission factor used in calculate_transport_emissions. Higher classes like Business or First Class have higher emission factors due to the space and weight allocated per passenger.

  • 07

    Can I compare multiple trips at once?

    Yes, you can use the compare_travel_scenarios capability to provide multiple itineraries and receive a comparison of their total CO2e footprints.

  • 08

    What factors are used for lodging emissions?

    Lodging emissions are calculated using the number of nights, the occupancy, and the lodging tier (e.g., Budget, Mid-range, Luxury) via the calculate_lodging_emissions capability.
