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 Woodturning Speed Engine.

  1. 01

    Calculate optimal speed

    Determines the recommended RPM and surface speed for a specific turning task.

  2. 02

    Get species properties

    Retrieves the hardness characteristics used for speed calculations.

  3. 03

    Validate safety parameters

    Checks if a proposed speed setting is safe given the physical constraints of the workpiece.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Roughing Large Blanks

The AI checks if your speed is too high for a large diameter piece to prevent dangerous vibrations.

02

Finishing Fine Details

Get the ideal RPM range to ensure a smooth surface finish on specific hardwoods.

03

Handling Unbalanced Wood

The capability automatically scales back RPM recommendations when you're working with uneven blanks.

04

Species Switching

Instantly adjust your settings when moving from a soft wood like pine to a hard wood like maple.

One connector, every AI

Woodturning Speed Engine 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 Woodturning Speed Engine 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.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 3 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

It does not authenticate your account with Woodturning Speed 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 Woodturning Speed Engine owners hand off.

This MCP is built for woodturners who want to move away from guesswork and toward precise, data-driven lathe settings.

  • 01

    Woodturners

    Use the AI to quickly find safe RPM ranges for new projects.

  • 02

    Lathe Hobbyists

    Hand off diameter and species info to the AI to get instant safety checks.

  • 03

    Woodworking Educators

    Use the deterministic engine to provide students with accurate speed guidelines.

FAQ

Questions Woodturning Speed Engine owners ask.

  • 01

    How does this MCP help with lathe safety?

    It uses a validation capability to check if your proposed RPM is safe for the specific diameter of your workpiece, specifically flagging speeds that are too high for larger diameters.

  • 02

    Does it account for different types of wood?

    Yes, it uses species properties to adjust speed calculations based on how hard or soft the wood is.

  • 03

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

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

  • 04

    What happens if my wood blank is unbalanced?

    The engine automatically adjusts and reduces the recommended RPM to help you work safely with unbalanced pieces.

  • 05

    Do I need to host this myself?

    No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use as soon as you connect your client.

  • 06

    How does wood species affect the recommended speed?

    Harder woods like ebony require lower RPMs to prevent capability chatter, while softer woods like pine allow for higher speeds.

  • 07

    What should I do if my workpiece is unbalanced?

    If you indicate the blank is not balanced, the calculate_optimal_speed capability will automatically reduce the recommended RPM by 50% to ensure safety.

  • 08

    How do I know if a speed is dangerous?

    The capability will provide a safetyWarning if the RPM is too high for the diameter, and you can use validate_safety_parameters to double-check any specific setting.
