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 · 4 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Wakapi.

  1. 01

    Get stats

    This capability pulls your coding statistics. It returns data on the languages, editors, and operating systems you've used over specific timeframes.

  2. 02

    Get summaries

    Use this to fetch detailed activity summaries. It provides granular breakdowns of your work for specific dates or individual projects.

  3. 03

    List projects

    This capability lists every project you have tracked. It's the fastest way to see your full portfolio of tracked work.

  4. 04

    Send heartbeats

    This capability sends manual coding activity heartbeats. Use it to ensure your timeline stays accurate if an automated tracker misses a session.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Weekly Productivity Reviews

Ask your agent to summarize your coding hours and most used languages every Friday.

02

Client Billing Accuracy

Pull specific project summaries to verify exactly how much time was spent on a client task.

03

Skillset Tracking

Use stats to see if you are actually spending time learning that new language you started using.

04

Workflow Optimization

Automate a task

Put Wakapi 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

Wakapi 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 Wakapi 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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