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.

    Check shift timing viability

    Use this to see if a wind shift is large enough to justify a tactical move.

  3. 03

    Evaluate vmg impact

    This capability calculates the specific gain or loss in efficiency caused by a wind shift.

  4. 04

    Get heading adjustment

    This capability provides the exact new heading needed to optimize your position after a shift occurs.

Real work

FAQ

Questions Wind Shift Tacking owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP help with sailing tactics?

    It provides mathematical calculations for VMG impact, tacking decisions, and heading adjustments based on wind shifts.

  • 02

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

    Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    What is VMG and how does the MCP use it?

    Velocity Made Good is a measure of efficiency toward a target. This MCP uses it to quantify if a wind shift or a tack will actually improve your progress.

  • 04

    Does this MCP work for downwind legs?

    The current capabilities are specifically designed for upwind target optimization and wind shift tacking decisions.

  • 05

    How do I get the new heading after a shift?

    You can ask your AI agent to use the get_heading_adjustment capability after providing the shift details.

  • 06

    How does this capability help with wind shifts?

    It uses calculate_tack_decision to determine if a shift warrants a maneuver and get_heading_adjustment to find the new optimal heading.

  • 07

    Can I calculate the efficiency loss of a maneuver?

    Yes, the evaluate_vmg_impact capability quantifies the efficiency gained or lost due to wind shifts.

  • 08

    What is VMG?

    VMG (Velocity Made Good) is the component of a boat's speed directed toward its intended upwind destination.
