Automate Compliance Checks

This tool gives Windsurf's Cascade agent a non-negotiable quality gate. Just set a goal like, "Review this frame design for ASCE 7-22 wind load compliance." Cascade will handle the rest. The agent autonomously structures the analysis, calls the `validate_engineering_compliance` tool, and gets a clear verdict. If the reasoning is solid, the workflow continues. If not, it stops cold, preventing flawed conclusions from making it into your reports.

Force Rigorous Analysis

This isn't a simple linter that just checks for keywords. The Engineering Compliance Prover forces your AI client to prove its work. It demands a complete analysis before it will return a 'pass'. Your agent must define the project scope, state the exact codes, list all load assumptions, map failure modes with FMEA, and calculate safety factors. The `validate_engineering_compliance` tool rejects incomplete or lazy analysis, making your agent's output much more reliable.

Your Windsurf Design Gate

Integrate this MCP Server as a final checkpoint in your automated design workflows. Before Cascade generates a bill of materials or commits a final design file, it must first get approval from the prover. You get a persistent, repeatable audit trail. It ensures that every automated action is grounded in a sound, verifiable engineering argument, not just a plausible-sounding text generation.

Setup guide

Set up Engineering Compliance Prover MCP in Windsurf

Prerequisites

Windsurf IDE installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Click the Cascade assistant icon in the sidebar, then click the hammer icon (🔨) at the top of the panel. Select "Configure" to open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.
2

Add the Engineering Compliance Prover MCP

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

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.
4

Verify in Cascade

Start a new Cascade conversation and ask something like "Show my Engineering Compliance Prover payment history." If connected, Cascade will call the Engineering Compliance Prover tools directly. You will see a green dot next to the server name in the MCP panel.

Common questions about Engineering Compliance Prover MCP in Windsurf

Cascade uses it as a required tool in its action plan. It sends the structured engineering analysis to the `validate_engineering_compliance` endpoint. A "pass" lets the autonomous chain continue; a "fail" stops it and flags the flawed reasoning.

It's built for major US engineering standards like ASCE, ACI, and AISC. You direct your agent to use a specific standard and section, and the tool verifies the analysis against those rules.

You can, by calling the tool directly from the MCP panel. But it's designed for autonomous agents. Cascade makes it part of a larger, automated task, which is where it really shines.

Absolutely not. It's a tool to force your AI agent to perform rigorous, structured analysis that a professional engineer can then review. It finds gaps in reasoning so a human expert can focus on the final judgment.

It only sees the structured analysis data your agent sends for the check. This includes scope, codes, load assumptions, FMEA, and material specs. Vinkius uses an ephemeral sandbox, so your specific project data is never stored or logged.
