Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 3 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

The Hidden Bill: The Cost of 'Ready', Solved with Vinkius AI Gateway

Most people don't realize how much power electronics suck just by being plugged in. It’s not the big appliance that drains you; it’s the charger, the soundbar on standby, and the little hub that keeps blinking green. You end up spending hours going through different websites or spreadsheets, trying to find every device's wattage rating so you can build a rough estimate of your total monthly waste.

With this MCP, you skip the research phase entirely. The agent pulls together the catalog data instantly and lets you calculate the true impact. You get precise numbers showing exactly how much money that 'ready' status costs you every single month.

Using `generate_aggregate_waste_report`

Manually gathering data for ten or more devices is a nightmare. You'd have to run individual calculations, copy the kWh usage from one sheet and paste it into another, then manually calculate the CO2 footprint using a separate chart. It’s tedious, slow, and you always lose track of which number belongs to which gadget.

Now, you feed your list of devices—and their calculated single-device waste—into this tool. It processes them all together in one go. You get a final summary report that shows the total energy drain and the combined financial impact. Period.

What your AI can actually do with this

You know that feeling when you look at your electricity bill and wonder where all the money went? A lot of it is from electronics drawing power just to stay 'ready.' This MCP lets you stop guessing about vampire draw. You can first browse a full catalog of common appliances, checking out their specific standby wattage.

From there, you calculate the exact monthly cost for any single device, like your TV or gaming console. Finally, if you want the big picture—the total impact across ten different gadgets—you run an aggregate report. It pulls together all that waste data to give you a combined energy usage number, the expected annual bill increase, and the CO2 emissions.

When you connect this MCP via Vinkius, your agent handles the math, giving you clear numbers instead of vague estimates.

Questions you might have

How does `fetch_device_catalog` help me start an audit? +

It gives you the necessary starting point. Instead of looking up wattage for every device, this tool returns a list of common electronics and their estimated power draw right away.

I only want to know the cost for my TV; do I need `calculate_single_device_waste`? +

Yes. This specific tool calculates the monthly energy consumption, financial cost, and CO2 footprint solely for your television set, giving you a focused number.

Can I use `generate_aggregate_waste_report` if my devices are in different rooms? +

Yes. The tool doesn't care about location; it only processes the data points and wattage figures you provide to calculate a single, combined total for all your listed electronics.

Is this MCP just for calculating energy waste or does it help with carbon footprint? +

It handles both. The final report generated by generate_aggregate_waste_report includes the total CO2 emissions alongside the dollar cost, giving you a full environmental and financial picture.

When I run `calculate_single_device_waste`, can I input my own local electricity rate? +

Yes, you specify the rate directly in the tool's parameters. The MCP lets you override default assumptions for both cost and kilowatt-hour rates. This makes sure your financial calculation matches your actual utility bill.

Does `generate_aggregate_waste_report` have limits on how many devices I can include in one report? +

The tool is designed for comprehensive auditing and handles hundreds of listed items. If you hit a very large dataset limit, your agent will prompt you to break the calculation into smaller groups.

If I use `fetch_device_catalog` and find a device not in the list, how do I proceed with my calculations? +

You must manually provide the wattage for that specific appliance. You can then feed those custom figures into calculate_single_device_waste to continue your audit without interruption.

Are the usage patterns reported by `generate_aggregate_waste_report` kept private? +

Your energy consumption data remains confidential. The MCP processes and generates reports using only the inputs you provide through your AI client, ensuring no external tracking occurs.

What is vampire power? +

Vampire power refers to the electricity consumed by devices while they are in standby mode or switched off but still plugged in.

How can I see which devices use the most energy? +

You can use the fetch_device_catalog tool to view a list of common electronics and their estimated standby wattage.

Can I calculate the total impact for all my devices at once? +

Yes, the generate_aggregate_waste_report tool allows you to input multiple devices to see your cumulative monthly energy waste and annual carbon footprint.
