Complete set · 4 capabilities
The complete Chain Pillar Design capability set.
These are the exact actions your AI can choose when you ask it to work with Chain Pillar Design.
01-04
4 capabilities in this set.
Part of 4 available through Chain Pillar Design.
- 01
Calculate subsidence impact
This capability predicts potential surface movement. It looks at your pillar design and seam characteristics to estimate subsidence.
- 02
Evaluate stability
This capability assesses whether a proposed pillar design is safe. It checks your design against environmental and operational constraints.
- 03
Get pillar dimensions
This capability calculates the necessary width for a chain pillar. It uses your specific mining geometry and loading conditions to find the right size.
- 04
Simulate loading scenario
This capability models how abutment loads shift between yield pillars and chain pillars. It helps you understand the stress distribution in your layout.
One connector, every AI
Chain Pillar Design 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 Chain Pillar Design 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 Chain Pillar Design, so you can see the experience inside your AI.
It does not authenticate your account with Chain Pillar Design. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

- 02
Geotechnical Engineer
Uses the capability to verify stability and predict surface subsidence.
- 03
Mine Planner
Runs loading scenarios to optimize pillar layouts.
FAQ
Questions Chain Pillar Design owners ask.
- 01
What can this MCP calculate for longwall mining?
It calculates required pillar widths, evaluates design stability, predicts surface subsidence, and models abutment load shifts.
- 02
How does the MCP determine pillar width?
It uses the get_pillar_dimensions capability to process your specific mining geometry and loading conditions.
- 03
Can I check if my design meets a specific safety factor?
Yes, you can use the evaluate_stability capability to check a proposed design against your target safety factor.
- 04
Does this capability predict surface movement?
Yes, the calculate_subsidence_impact capability predicts potential surface movement based on your pillar design and seam characteristics.
- 05
What clients can I use with this MCP?
You can connect this MCP to any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code.
- 06
How do I calculate the required pillar width?
You can use the get_pillar_dimensions capability by providing the panel width, extraction height, and mining depth.
- 07
Can I account for yield pillars in my design?
Yes, the get_pillar_dimensions capability includes an option to incorporate a preceding yield pillar to redistribute stress.
- 08
How is surface subsidence predicted?
Surface movement is predicted using the calculate_subsidence_impact capability, which analyzes the ratio of extraction area to supporting area.
