Enforce US building codes across your team in VS Code

The `validate_engineering_compliance` tool integrates with VS Code Copilot to ensure every engineer on your team writes compliant calculations. This MCP integration stops VS Code developers from committing designs with broken load paths or ungrounded safety factors. It keeps your entire steel and concrete git repo aligned with strict structural requirements automatically.

Catch compliance errors in Copilot Chat

The `validate_engineering_compliance` tool runs whenever you ask Copilot Chat to review a structural design or concrete specification. The tool checks your concrete capacity-demand ratios and outputs a precise list of code violations directly in the VS Code chat window. This prevents structural compliance errors from reaching your production databases.

Deploy an enterprise-ready MCP Server for compliance

The `validate_engineering_compliance` tool provides an IT-managed compliance layer for enterprise VS Code rollouts. Your engineering leads can commit the configuration to git, ensuring that every local VS Code client uses the exact same ASCE and ACI rules.

Setup guide

Set up Engineering Compliance Prover MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.

Common questions about Engineering Compliance Prover MCP in VS Code Copilot

Create a `.vscode/mcp.json` file in your repository root and commit it to Git. Every developer on your team using VS Code 1.96+ will automatically have access to this MCP configuration.

Yes, you can call the tool directly inside Copilot Chat by switching to Agent mode. This lets you ask Copilot to verify steel frame designs against ASCE 7-22 using live compliance checks.

It prevents your AI team from writing unverified structural calculations. The MCP Server forces Copilot to calculate real capacity-demand ratios instead of guessing material tolerances.

The tool will reject the design and return a detailed failure report in Copilot Chat. It flags the exact clearance or load path issue so your team can fix it.

All calculations, material specs, and load path coordinates sent from VS Code are processed in a zero-trust, ephemeral sandbox. No design data is saved or used for AI training.
