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 Shear Friction.

  1. 01

    Compare interface conditions

    This capability evaluates the loss in capacity when moving from a monolithic pour to a cold joint.

  2. 02

    Determine required reinforcement

    This capability calculates the minimum steel area needed to resist a specific shear load.

  3. 03

    Calculate shear capacity

    This capability determines the maximum shear force an interface can resist.

  4. 04

    Evaluate safety factor

    This capability checks if your current design is safe against a specific applied load.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Cold Joint Analysis

Determine how much shear capacity you lose when a pour is interrupted.

02

Reinforcement Design

Find the exact amount of steel required to meet a target shear load.

03

Safety Auditing

Check if an existing design has a sufficient safety factor for a given load.

04

Monolithic Pour Modeling

Calculate the maximum shear resistance for continuous concrete interfaces.

One connector, every AI

Concrete Shear Friction 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 Shear Friction 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 Concrete Shear Friction, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Concrete Shear Friction. 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 Concrete Shear Friction owners hand off.

This MCP is designed for structural and civil engineers working with reinforced concrete designs.

  • 01

    Structural Engineer

    Uses the MCP to verify shear transfer capacity in building and bridge components.

  • 02

    Civil Engineer

    Uses the MCP to check interface stability for large scale concrete structures.

  • 03

    Design Engineer

    Uses the MCP to determine reinforcement needs for specific shear loads.

FAQ

Questions Concrete Shear Friction owners ask.

  • 01

    What standards does this MCP follow?

    The calculations are based on ACI provisions for shear friction.

  • 02

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

    Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 03

    Does it handle cold joints?

    Yes, it includes capabilities to compare capacity between monolithic pours and cold joints.

  • 04

    How do I find the required steel area?

    You can use the determine_required_reinforcement capability to solve for the necessary steel area.

  • 05

    Do I need to host the MCP myself?

    No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect and use it.

  • 06

    How does the capability handle monolithic vs cold joint conditions?

    The calculate_shear_capacity capability uses a boolean flag to distinguish between a continuous monolithic pour and a separate cold joint, adjusting the capacity based on the expected aggregate interlock and cohesion.

  • 07

    Can I calculate the required steel area for a specific load?

    Yes, you can use the determine_required_reinforcement capability to find the minimum reinforcement area (mm²) needed to resist a target shear force.

  • 08

    What is the purpose of the roughness factor?

    The roughness factor is a coefficient used in calculate_shear_capacity to represent the surface texture, which influences the aggregate interlock and overall shear resistance.
