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

FAQ

Questions VIX Term Structure Calculator owners ask.

  • 01

    What can this MCP do with VIX futures?

    It analyzes the term structure, calculates roll yields, and identifies market regimes like Contango or Backwardation.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

    You can use it with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 03

    How does it calculate the slope?

    It uses linear regression to find the price trend relative to the time to expiration.

  • 04

    Do I need to host the MCP myself?

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

  • 05

    Can it identify market panic?

    Yes, the analyze_term_structure capability identifies if the market is in a Complacent or Panic state.

  • 06

    What is the difference between Contango and Backwardation?

    Contango occurs when futures prices are higher than the spot VIX, indicating low immediate fear. Backwardation occurs when futures prices are lower than the spot, indicating high immediate fear or panic.

  • 07

    How is the market regime determined?

    The regime is classified as Complacent if contango is greater than 5%, or Panic if backwardation is greater than 5%. Otherwise, it is considered Normal.

  • 08

    Can I calculate the roll yield for specific contracts?

    Yes, you can use calculate_roll_yield by providing the prices for the first and second month contracts and the days remaining until the first contract expires.
