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

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Wine & Cheese Pairing Engine.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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

Who it's for

Built for the work Wine & Cheese Pairing Engine owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals who need technical accuracy in food and beverage pairing.

  • 01

    Sommeliers

    They hand off complex pairing requests to the agent to get rapid, data-backed scores.

  • 02

    Menu Developers

    They use the capability to validate new wine and cheese combinations for restaurant menus.

  • 03

    Culinary Researchers

    They use the chemical interaction logic to study flavor profiles.

FAQ

Questions Wine & Cheese Pairing Engine owners ask.

  • 01

    How does the pairing score work?

    The score is calculated by analyzing chemical interactions like how acidity cuts through fat or how tannins react to certain cheese profiles.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

  • 03

    Can I use this to find new wines?

    Yes, the get_alternative_pairings capability allows your agent to suggest different wine options for a specific cheese.

  • 04

    What if my wine data is formatted incorrectly?

    You can use the validate_profiles capability to check your data against the engine's required sensory constraints before running a full analysis.

  • 05

    Is the pairing logic subjective?

    No, the engine is deterministic and based on chemical interactions rather than personal opinion.

  • 06

    How is the pairing score calculated?

    The score is derived from deterministic rules including congruent matching, contrasting balance, regional bonuses, and chemical interactions like how acidity cuts through fat.

  • 07

    Can I validate my profile data before running a pairing?

    Yes, you can use the validate_profiles capability to ensure your wine or cheese profiles use the correct terminology and categories.

  • 08

    What if I want to find different wines for a specific cheese?

    You can use the get_alternative_pairings capability to suggest alternative wine profiles that meet a specific score threshold for your chosen cheese.
