Vinkius

Vinkius is the AI Gateway Runtime for MCP servers. Point it at any API and you get a production-ready, governed MCP server — one that Cursor, Claude, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, and ChatGPT can all connect to out of the box.

This extension puts your Vinkius dashboard right inside your IDE. Every server on your account shows up in the sidebar. Click one and you get a live tab: connections, requests, errors, token spend, DLP events, the works. Manage tokens, toggle tools, dig through logs, check deployments — no browser required.

Your MCP servers, live in the sidebar

Install the extension and a Vinkius panel appears in the Activity Bar. Every server on your Vinkius Cloud account is listed there with live status, active connections, and tool count. You'll know immediately if something's down — no tab-switching required.

Click any server and its full dashboard opens as a tab right in your editor.

The dashboard

Everything you need to run a production MCP server, without leaving your IDE:

Overview — The key numbers at a glance: active connections, total requests, P95 latency, error rate, uptime, DLP intercepts, and token cost. Plus a live feed of every request as it comes in.

Tokens — Create and revoke API tokens for your clients. Give them names, set expiry dates, see when they were last used.

Tools — See every tool your server exposes. Enable or disable individual tools on the fly — no redeployment needed.

Logs — The full request history: method, status code, duration, which client made the call, and whether DLP flagged anything. Debug from right here.

Deployments — Every deploy on record, with commit hash, bundle size, and a marker on whichever build is currently live.

Why Vinkius Cloud

Every server you run on Vinkius Cloud has governance baked into the runtime — not added on afterward:

• DLP — PII is stripped out of responses in memory before it ever leaves your infrastructure
• Sandboxed runtime — Each server runs in a sealed V8 isolate with no filesystem access, no raw network calls, and no cross-tenant leakage
• Tool gating — You decide which tools are available and when. AI clients can only call what you've explicitly allowed
• Cost visibility — Token usage is tracked per tool. No surprise invoices. Set a budget, get alerted before you blow past it
• Kill switch — Pull any server offline instantly, right from the dashboard
• Full audit trail — Every request, every token, every byte — logged and visible in real time

Deploy once. Cursor, Claude, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, and ChatGPT all connect to the same server.
