Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.
Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.
No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.
Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.
Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.
One switch stops every agent. Instantly.
One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.
Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.
Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.
Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.
Curated set · 4 capabilities
We ship only the actions that matter.
01-04
4 capabilities in this set.
Part of 4 available through Backfill Engineering Service.
- 01
Calculate target ucs
This capability finds the required Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) based on the specific physical environment of the mine.
- 02
Determine binder requirements
Use this to calculate the exact amount of cement needed to reach your target strength.
- 03
Estimate curing duration
This capability predicts how many days of curing are necessary before the backfill hits its design strength.
- 04
Validate stope stability
This capability checks if your current strength and binder plan is enough to keep a specific stope stable.
Real work
What teams actually run
Stope Design
Calculate the required UCS for a new stope based on its width, height, and overburden.
Material Planning
Determine the exact cement percentage needed for a specific binder type and strength goal.
Safety Verification
Confirm that a proposed backfill mix is strong enough for a specific stope's environment.
Operational Scheduling
Estimate how long a stope must sit before the backfill is strong enough for next steps.
One connector, every AI
Backfill Engineering Service works with the most popular AI clients.
These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Le ChatBuilding your own app? The connector is yours to use.
You don't need a client to put Backfill Engineering Service to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

One URL. Every client.
Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 4 capabilities arrive ready to run.
Preview access · not provider authentication
The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Backfill Engineering Service, so you can see the experience inside your AI.
It does not authenticate your account with Backfill Engineering Service. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for
Built for the work Backfill Engineering Service owners hand off.
This MCP is built for geotechnical and mining engineers who need to run repetitive strength and binder calculations.
- 01
Geotechnical Engineer
Hands off stope dimensions and pressure data to the agent for rapid UCS calculation.
- 02
Mining Engineer
Uses the capability to verify that backfill designs meet operational safety standards.
- 03
Mine Planner
Asks the agent for curing time estimates to schedule upcoming mining activities.
FAQ
Questions Backfill Engineering Service owners ask.
- 01
What can this MCP calculate for mine backfill?
It calculates required Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS), necessary cement binder content, and estimated curing durations.
- 02
How do I use this with Claude or Cursor?
You connect your client to Vinkius once, and the capabilities become available as functions your agent can call during your conversation.
- 03
Can I verify if my current design is safe?
Yes, you can use the validate_stope_stability capability to check if your strength and binder levels are sufficient for a specific stope.
- 04
Does it handle different types of cement?
The capabilities allow you to specify binder types, such as portland_cement, to get accurate binder and curing results.
- 05
Do I need to host the MCP myself?
No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use as soon as you connect.
- 06
How do I calculate the required strength for a new stope?
You can use the calculate_target_ucs capability by providing the stope width, height, overburden pressure, and your desired safety factor.
- 07
Can I verify if my current backfill design is safe?
Yes, use the validate_stope_stability capability with your stope dimensions, overburden pressure, achieved UCS, and safety factor to check stability.
- 08
How does temperature affect curing time?
Higher ambient temperatures accelerate chemical hydration. You can use estimate_curing_duration to see how temperature impacts the days required to reach target strength.
