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.

Automate a task

Put Twist 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

Twist 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 Twist 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.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 10 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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

  • 02

    Engineering Teams

FAQ

Questions Twist owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect this MCP to my AI client?

    You subscribe to the MCP through Vinkius and then connect your client, such as Claude or Cursor, using the provided connection details. Vinkius handles the hosting and management.

  • 02

    Do I need to provide my Twist credentials?

    Yes, you will need to enter your Twist API Token via the Vinkius Developer Portal to authorize the connection.

  • 03

    Can my agent send private messages?

    Yes, the MCP includes capabilities to send, list, and even update direct messages in your 1-on-1 conversations.

  • 04

    Can I use markdown in my threads?

    Yes, you can instruct your agent to include full markdown elements when creating new threads or replies.

  • 05

    Which AI clients are compatible?

    This MCP works with any client that supports the Model Context Protocol, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 06

    Can my AI automatically create a new thread with bug report details in the #dev channel?

    Yes. Once you invoke the agent to query the channel ID for '#dev', it can execute the thread creation workflow and post an entire Markdown-formatted issue payload perfectly directly to the interface.

  • 07

    Is it possible to correct a message typo via the agent?

    Yes! Twist is unique in allowing asynchronous editing. By providing your exact Message ID, the AI agent can overwrite and patch up your old text block retaining timeline flow naturally.

  • 08

    Can the agent fetch recent threaded responses to summarize an ongoing project decision?

    Absolutely. It pulls in heavy threads natively. Give the agent a thread ID and request a summarization—it will digest long chains of conversation and outline the top project consensus within seconds avoiding you long reading phases.
