Perplexity

Run local code checks with Claude Desktop

The `validate_engineering_compliance` tool runs inside your local Claude Desktop environment to force your agent to verify steel frame or concrete designs against ASCE 7-22 and ACI 318-19. By configuring this local MCP Server, your desktop client reads your local CAD specs or calculation sheets directly through your filesystem. This forces Claude to run a real FMEA on your load paths instead of hallucinating safety factors.

Stop code blindness in your local files

The `validate_engineering_compliance` tool maps structural load paths and flags missing material tolerances directly inside your local desktop workspace. You don't have to guess if your local steel grades meet ASTM specs because the server forces the desktop agent to calculate actual yield limits and thermal expansion stress before writing its report.

Connect remote compliance tools to Claude Web

The `validate_engineering_compliance` tool also connects to claude.ai in your browser using remote custom connectors to verify complex NEC grounding layouts and concrete compressive strengths. Your team pastes the secure Vinkius URL into their web settings to run compliance checks on structural designs. The web client immediately gains the power to reject bad capacity-demand ratios in real time.

Setup guide

Set up Engineering Compliance Prover MCP in Claude Web or Desktop

1

Open Claude Settings

Go to claude.ai, click your profile icon, then navigate to Customize → Connectors.
2

Add Custom Connector

Click the "+" button and select Add custom connector. Paste your Vinkius endpoint URL: https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. For OAuth-protected servers, expand Advanced settings to add credentials.
3

Open a new chat. The Engineering Compliance Prover MCP tools are available immediately — no restart needed.

Endpoint URL

https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp

No configuration file needed — paste the URL directly in the Claude web interface.

Available on Free (1 connector), Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans.

Prerequisites

Claude Desktop installed (macOS or Windows)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open Claude Desktop Settings

Click the menu icon at the top-left corner, go to Settings → Developer → Edit Config. This opens claude_desktop_config.json in your default text editor.
2

Paste the Engineering Compliance Prover MCP configuration

Copy the JSON snippet on the right into the mcpServers object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Restart Claude Desktop

Close and reopen the application. Claude needs a full restart to load new MCPs — refreshing a conversation is not enough.
4

Verify the connection

Open a new conversation. Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the message input. You should see tools listed under engineering-compliance-prover-mcp.

Common questions about Engineering Compliance Prover MCP in Claude Desktop

Open your Claude Desktop configuration file and add the server to your local config. This sets up the local stdio connection so your agent can run structural math directly on your machine.

Yes, you can add this MCP Server as a custom connector in your claude.ai integration settings. Just paste the secure URL hosted by Vinkius to run ASCE 7-22 checks in your browser chat.

The tool flags the specific structural deficiency, such as an ungrounded load path or a bad capacity-demand ratio. Claude Desktop will read this feedback and adjust its engineering advice to fix the code violation.

Yes, it forces the AI to check concrete designs against ACI 318-19 and steel frames against ASCE 7-22. It demands exact material tolerances for both.

Your local steel calculations, concrete grades, and load path coordinates stay entirely on your machine when using the desktop app. For web connections, Vinkius runs this MCP Server in an ephemeral sandbox that discards your engineering parameters as soon as the check completes.
