Install Catalog

Install Catalog is the first screen of the Vinkius Cloud console, and it exists to do one thing: connect the Vinkius AI Connections catalog to your AI client once, so your AI can find and use capabilities on its own from that moment on.

The catalog is not a fixed list. It is thousands of connectors with tens of thousands of capabilities, and new ones land every single day: web search, databases, email, CRMs, browsers, files, developer tools, automations. The console always shows today's exact size (the count next to "AI Connections" in the sidebar). You do not pick any of it in advance and you do not configure it one by one. The catalog is a Just-in-Time capability layer: when a task needs something, your AI searches the catalog, connects to the right connector and uses it, right then.

Try it below. This is the real screen, running in the docs. Click the button and follow the flow to the end.

Connect Vinkius AI Connections

Use it with any AI client that supports MCP. The setup is simple and guided, with clear instructions tailored to your client.

Why one connection beats installing integrations one by one

That is the whole pitch: connect once, and stop thinking about plumbing. Your attention goes back to the work; the capabilities show up when they are needed.

What your AI can do from day one

These are the kinds of asks you can throw at your AI right after connecting, in a normal conversation:

• "Search the web for the reviews of this product and summarize the complaints."
• "Find the invoice from Acme in my email and save the total to my notes."
• "Check our Postgres for orders that failed this week."
• "Open this page, take a screenshot and send it to the team channel."
• "Update the CRM deal once the contract is signed."

You never named a connector. Your AI searched the catalog by what the sentence needed, connected and ran it. That is the Just-in-Time model.

How it works, in plain words

1. You connect once. Clicking Connect Vinkius AI Connections provisions the catalog for your account and creates your Connector link, a URL that carries your personal connection token.
2. You paste the link into your AI client. The client stores it. From then on it knows where to ask for capabilities.
3. Your AI does the rest. During a conversation it searches the catalog by what it needs, inspects a connector's capabilities, connects on the spot and runs the tool. The catalog itself is a connector with 12 capabilities built for exactly this flow.

What the AI sees: the 12 catalog capabilities

The catalog connector gives your AI a complete toolbox for discovering and using every other connector. This is what it can call, grouped by job:

Read that table again and you know the magic: your AI can find, connect and run anything in the catalog without you opening a single settings screen.

Prompt starters

Copy any of these into your AI client after connecting to feel it work:

• "Search the Vinkius catalog for something that lets me track package deliveries and pick the best rated one."
• "What capabilities do I already have connected? Show me what my AI can do right now."
• "I need to pull last month's sales from my database and post a summary to Slack. Find what you need and do it."
• "Find a connector that watches a web page for changes and warn me when the price drops."

Use it in your AI client

The Quick Connect dialog you just opened in the mockup shows tailored steps for more than 20 clients. The four most common:

Claude (claude.ai)

1. Open Settings → Connectors.
2. Choose Add custom connector and paste your Connector link.
3. In any chat, open the + menu and enable Vinkius AI Connections under Connectors.

ChatGPT

1. Open Settings → Apps → Create App.
2. Give it a name and paste your Connector link.
3. If asked for authentication, select None. The capabilities appear in your chats through the + menu.

Perplexity

1. Open Settings → Connectors → Add Connector.
2. Paste your Connector link and confirm.

Cursor

1. Open Settings → Features → MCP Servers and add the Connector link.
2. Or use the one click button in the Quick Connect dialog: Add to Cursor opens the IDE with everything filled in.

Claude Desktop reads the connector from its configuration file. In the Quick Connect dialog, the Config group shows the exact JSON to paste into claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vinkius-ai-connections": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_YOUR_TOKEN/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Beyond those, the dialog covers IDE clients (VS Code, Windsurf, JetBrains, Claude Code, Cline, Lovable, Antigravity, OpenClaw/ClawX, Goose) and, for coding agents, ready to paste snippets in the Framework group: Vercel AI SDK, OpenAI Agents, Anthropic, Google ADK, LangChain, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel and AutoGen. Same link everywhere, nothing to rebuild.

The Connector link, and keeping it safe

The link has the shape https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_YOUR_TOKEN/mcp. The token in it is what attributes usage to your account, and it is your kill switch: if a link leaks, revoke its token under the connector's Connection Tokens tab and hand out a new one. Fresh tokens are shown once; the dialog warns you and expects you to store it before closing.

After connecting

Open any conversation and simply ask for outcomes: "search for the latest news on X", "save this to my notes", "check the status of my database". Your AI finds the capability, connects and runs it while you watch. Everything it executes appears live in Mission Control, inside the AI Governance tab, and per connector on each connector's dashboard.
