What can this MCP do for excavation design?

It allows your AI client to analyze support feasibility, calculate wall stability and embedment, design strut spacing, and simulate staged excavation.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

Do I need to host the MCP myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and start using the capabilities.

Can it help with groundwater issues?

Yes, the feasibility capability considers site conditions like groundwater to recommend the best support type, such as sheet piles.

How does it handle different soil types?

The capabilities are designed to process specific soil mechanics data to calculate stability and movement for various soil profiles.

How do I choose between Soldier Pile and Sheet Pile?

You can use the analyze_support_feasibility capability to evaluate soil type and groundwater levels to determine the best support method.

Can I simulate the entire excavation process?

Yes, the simulate_staged_excavation capability allows you to model the support system's performance across multiple stages of soil removal.

How is wall deflection calculated?

Wall deflection is calculated using the calculate_wall_stability capability, which considers excavation depth, embedment, soil properties, and groundwater levels.

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.

Curated set · 4 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Excavation Support Designer.

01
Analyze support feasibility
This capability identifies the best support type for your specific site conditions. It evaluates soil and site constraints to recommend a viable support method.
02
Calculate wall stability
This capability computes the required embedment depth and predicts lateral wall movement. It ensures the wall stays within safe limits.
03
Design lateral bracing
This capability determines the necessary spacing for struts. It ensures your lateral bracing can hold the wall in place effectively.
04
Simulate staged excavation
This capability models the performance of your support system through various stages of soil removal. It helps you see how stability changes as the hole gets deeper.

Real work

What teams actually run

Site Condition Assessment

Determine if sheet piles or soldier piles are better for a specific sandy or clay site.

Bracing Layout Design

Calculate the exact distance between struts for a deep excavation to prevent wall movement.

Safety Factor Verification

Check if a proposed embedment depth provides enough stability for the planned excavation depth.

Excavation Sequencing

Run simulations to see how the support system holds up as you dig deeper through different soil layers.

One connector, every AI

Excavation Support Designer 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 Excavation Support Designer 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 Excavation Support Designer, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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