Preview access · not provider authentication
The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Distillation Column Designer, so you can see the experience inside your AI.
It does not authenticate your account with Distillation Column Designer. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ
Questions Distillation Column Designer owners ask.
- 01
Which calculation methods are supported?
The server supports the McCabe-Thiele method for graphical/analytical stage determination and the Fenske-Underwood-Gilliland (FUG) shortcut method.
- 02
How do I account for real-world tray efficiency?
You can use the calculate_actual_stages capability, which takes the theoretical stages and the Murphree efficiency to calculate the required physical trays.
- 03
Can I estimate the physical size of the column?
Yes, the estimate_column_diameter capability calculates the required column diameter based on vapor flow, liquid flow, and flooding velocity.
