What can this MCP calculate for concrete formwork?

It calculates actual deflection, required stiffness, optimal support spacing, and validates load combinations.

How do I use this with Claude or Cursor?

You connect your client to the Vinkius platform, which hosts the MCP, and your agent can then call the capabilities directly.

Can I check safety margins for multiple loads?

Yes, the validate_load_combination capability checks if a combination of different loads stays within safety margins.

Does this help with support spacing?

Yes, the optimize_support_spacing capability finds the maximum distance allowed between supports to stay within deflection limits.

Is this for structural engineering?

Yes, this MCP provides capabilities specifically for structural engineering tasks related to concrete formwork integrity.

How do I find the best support spacing for my timber formwork?

You can use the optimize_support_spacing capability. Provide the material type (e.g., timber), the expected load, and your allowable deflection limit to get the recommended spacing.

Can I check if my load combination is safe?

Yes, use validate_load_combination by providing the base load, live load, and your required safety factor to verify if the design is within safe limits.

What is the difference between simple and continuous spans?

A simple span is supported at two points, while a continuous span is supported at multiple points. You can specify this in calculate_actual_deflection to get an accurate bending calculation.

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.

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.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Concrete Formwork Deflection.

01
Calculate actual deflection
This capability calculates exactly how much a specific formwork setup will bend under a given load.
02
Calculate required stiffness
Use this to find the minimum bending stiffness needed to hit a specific deflection target.
03
Optimize support spacing
This capability finds the maximum distance you can place between supports while staying within deflection limits.
04
Validate load combination
This capability checks if a specific combination of different loads stays within your required safety margins.

Real work

What teams actually run

Span Bending Checks

Check if a steel or aluminum span will bend too much under a specific kN/m² load.

Support Spacing Design

Determine how far apart to place supports to keep deflection within limits.

Safety Margin Verification

Confirm that combined live and dead loads don't exceed safety parameters.

Material Selection

Find the required stiffness for different formwork materials to meet project specs.

One connector, every AI

Concrete Formwork Deflection 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 Concrete Formwork Deflection 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Concrete Formwork Deflection, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Concrete Formwork Deflection. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
