What is the difference between full ratchet and weighted average?

Full ratchet is a more aggressive protection that adjusts the price to the lowest new price, while weighted average considers the amount of money raised at the new price relative to the old price.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, you can connect this MCP to any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf through Vinkius.

Does this capability handle non-protected shareholder dilution?

Yes, the analyze_shareholder_dilution capability specifically calculates how adjustments affect those without protection.

How does this MCP handle down-round math?

It uses specialized capabilities to calculate how new share issuances at lower prices impact existing ownership and share counts.

Do I need to host this myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use as soon as you connect your client.

What is the difference between Full Ratchet and Weighted Average?

Full Ratchet is the most aggressive protection, adjusting the conversion price to the new lower price regardless of the amount raised. Broad-Based Weighted Average is more moderate, adjusting the price based on both the new price and the amount of capital raised relative to existing shares.

How can I compare the two main protection methods?

You can use the compare_protection_mechanisms capability to see a side-by-side comparison of the additional shares issued under both Full Ratchet and Weighted Average for your specific scenario.

Does this capability account for dilution of other shareholders?

Yes, the analyze_shareholder_dilution capability specifically calculates how the issuance of new shares to protected investors impacts the ownership percentages of all non-protected shareholders.

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.
