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.

One connector, every AI

UpGuard 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 UpGuard 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. 9 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 UpGuard, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

  • 02

    Procurement & Compliance

    They verify vendor risk profiles and monitor third-party security posture.

FAQ

Questions UpGuard owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect UpGuard to my AI client?

    You subscribe to the MCP on Vinkius and provide your UpGuard API key. Once connected, you can use it immediately in any compatible client like Claude or Cursor.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use this MCP with any client that supports the Model Context Protocol, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    What kind of security data can my agent access?

    Your agent can access vendor security scores, active risks in your infrastructure, identity breaches, and lists of monitored domains, IPs, and SaaS apps.

  • 04

    Do I need to manage the connection myself?

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

  • 05

    Can I use this to monitor my employees' security?

    Yes, you can use the capability to audit user-related risk data and identity theft exposures.

  • 06

    How do I check the security score of a specific vendor?

    Use the get_vendor capability and provide the Vendor ID. Your agent will retrieve the complete security profile, including the overall score and metadata for that vendor.

  • 07

    Can I see all active risks across my entire account?

    Yes! Use the list_account_risks query. This retrieves all active security risks detected across your own digital infrastructure (BreachSight).

  • 08

    Is it possible to monitor data breaches affecting our employees?

    Absolutely. Use the list_identity_breaches query to retrieve data on identity breaches affecting your workforce, helping you take proactive security measures.
