What data does this MCP need to work?

You need to provide bathymetry contours and swell parameters, such as wave period and direction, to get accurate results.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

Can I use this to find good surf spots?

Yes. You can use the analyze_point_break_intensity capability to see if underwater features will create high-quality point breaks.

Does Vinkius host the MCP?

Yes. Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP, so you don't have to worry about setup or maintenance.

How does it calculate wave direction changes?

It uses the get_refraction_profile capability to calculate how the seafloor shape causes waves to bend at different depths.

How do I calculate the breaking point shift?

You must first call get_refraction_profile to generate a profile, then pass that profile into predict_breaking_zone to determine the shift.

Can this capability identify point breaks?

Yes, use analyze_point_break_intensity with bathymetry contours and swell direction to identify concentrated energy zones.

What inputs are required for the refraction profile?

The get_refraction_profile capability requires bathymetry contours, swell direction, and the wave period.

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.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Wave Refraction Effect.

01
Analyze point break intensity
This capability identifies if specific underwater features will create high-quality, concentrated point breaks. It looks for energy concentration driven by seafloor shape.
02
Calculate section dynamics
This capability computes the total length of the surf zone affected by a refracted swell. It measures the physical extent of the wave impact area.
03
Get refraction profile
This capability calculates how wave direction changes at specific depths. It uses seafloor shape to map the bending of swell energy.
04
Predict breaking zone
This capability determines the physical location and characteristics of where waves break on the shore. It maps the impact point based on depth and swell data.

Real work

What teams actually run

Surf Spot Identification

Analyze underwater features to see if they will produce high-intensity point breaks for specific swell periods.

Coastal Impact Modeling

Predict where waves will hit the shore to understand how refraction affects coastline energy.

Bathymetry Analysis

Process depth contours to map how swell energy bends as it approaches the coast.

Surf Zone Mapping

Calculate the total length of a surf zone to understand the scale of a swell's impact.

One connector, every AI

Wave Refraction Effect 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 Wave Refraction Effect 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 Wave Refraction Effect, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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