How do I use this MCP with Claude?

You connect your Claude client to Vinkius once. After that, the Typography Layout Calculator capabilities are available for your agent to use in any chat.

Can this help with web design?

Yes. It is specifically useful for calculating line heights that snap to a baseline grid in web layouts.

What kind of data do I need to provide?

You should provide font size, line height, container width, and character counts to get accurate results.

Does it work for print layouts?

Yes. It provides the precise typographic metrics required for professional print design and vertical rhythm.

Do I need to host the MCP myself?

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

How do I achieve a perfect baseline grid snap?

You can use the optimize_typography capability to suggest the exact font size and line height needed to eliminate fractional pixel offsets and align perfectly with your grid.

Can this capability detect widows and orphans?

Yes, the analyze_current_layout capability evaluates the character count per line and will flag if a widow or orphan is detected in your text block.

What metrics are provided by the analysis?

The analyze_current_layout capability returns the measure (characters per line), total lines, grid offset, widow/orphan status, and a vertical rhythm consistency score.

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

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Typography Layout Calculator.

01
Analyze current layout
This capability evaluates your existing typographic setup. It checks your measure, line counts, and vertical rhythm based on the parameters you provide.
02
Check vertical alignment
This capability verifies if your text blocks are correctly aligned to your design grid. It identifies any drift or offset that needs correction.
03
Optimize typography
This capability calculates the best font size and line height for your specific layout. It finds the settings required to achieve a perfect baseline grid snap.

Real work

What teams actually run

Web Grid Alignment

Calculate the exact line height needed to make text snap to a 4px or 8px CSS grid.

Print Layout Verification

Check if a column of text maintains a healthy vertical rhythm in a magazine spread.

Responsive Typography

Find new font sizes that maintain a consistent measure when container widths change.

Debugging Layout Drift

Identify why a text block is not sitting on the grid by calculating the total drift.

One connector, every AI

Typography Layout 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 Typography Layout 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.
