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.

V8 Isolate01

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.

Kill Switch02

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.

FinOps per User03

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.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Bench Design Parameters.

  1. 01

    Calculate bench width

    This capability calculates the horizontal width needed for a bench to keep equipment safe and provide proper rock catchment.

  2. 02

    Estimate inter ramp angle

    Use this to find the total slope angle of a pit wall across several benches.

  3. 03

    Get bench height

    This capability determines the maximum vertical height for a bench based on the stability of the rock type.

  4. 04

    Validate design compliance

    This capability checks your proposed design against safety and operational standards for your specific rock and equipment.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Bench Height Optimization

Determine the safest vertical limits when moving from hard rock to weathered zones.

02

Equipment Safety Planning

Calculate the exact bench width needed for specific haul truck dimensions.

03

Pit Wall Slope Design

Estimate the inter-ramp angle to plan the overall pit geometry.

04

Design Compliance Auditing

Run a final check on design parameters to ensure they meet safety standards.

One connector, every AI

Bench Design Parameters 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.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Bench Design Parameters 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.

Connect your client

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 Bench Design Parameters, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Bench Design Parameters. 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 Bench Design Parameters owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals managing open-pit mining operations and geological stability.

  • 01

    Mining Engineers

    They use the AI to quickly iterate on bench geometry and slope designs.

  • 02

    Geotechnical Engineers

    They hand off rock stability data to the AI to validate bench heights.

  • 03

    Mine Planners

    They use the capabilities to ensure equipment can move safely through the pit.

FAQ

Questions Bench Design Parameters owners ask.

  • 01

    What can this MCP calculate for mine design?

    It calculates bench height, bench width, inter-ramp angles, and validates design compliance based on rock and equipment.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 03

    Does the capability account for different rock types?

    Yes, the capabilities use rock characteristics to determine height limits and compliance.

  • 04

    How does it handle equipment dimensions?

    You provide the machine width, and the capability calculates the required bench width including safety berms.

  • 05

    Do I need to host the MCP myself?

    No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use once you connect.

  • 06

    How does rock type affect bench design?

    Rock type dictates stability. For example, using get_bench_height with 'Hard-Rock' will yield different results than 'Weathered' rock because harder rock supports steeper, higher benches.

  • 07

    Can I check if my design is safe?

    Yes, use the validate_design_compliance capability to check if your proposed height and width meet safety requirements for your specific equipment and rock type.

  • 08

    How is the inter-ramp angle calculated?

    The estimate_inter_ramp_angle capability calculates the overall slope by considering the bench height, total bench width, and the width of the catch bench.
