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 · 3 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Footing Size Calculator.

  1. 01

    Retrieve soil capacity

    Fetches the allowable bearing capacity for specific soil types like clay, sand, or gravel. It returns the value in ksf.

  2. 02

    Calculate footing dimensions

    Computes the minimum required width and thickness for a square footing. It uses your provided load and soil capacity to find the geometry.

  3. 03

    Validate engineering params

    Checks your input parameters to ensure they stay within safe and realistic engineering limits.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Initial Foundation Sizing

Quickly estimate footing width and thickness during the early design phase.

02

Soil Data Reference

Get standard ksf values for sand, clay, or gravel without searching manuals.

03

Safety Checks

Verify that a proposed column load doesn't exceed safe engineering thresholds.

04

Design Verification

Confirm that calculated footing dimensions meet the requirements of the soil and load.

One connector, every AI

Footing Size Calculator 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 Footing Size Calculator 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. 3 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 Footing Size Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Footing Size Calculator. 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 Footing Size Calculator owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals working in structural and geotechnical engineering.

  • 01

    Structural Engineers

    They hand off column loads and soil data to get footing dimensions.

  • 02

    Civil Engineers

    They use it to quickly verify foundation requirements for site designs.

  • 03

    Geotechnical Technicians

    They use the soil capacity capability to provide quick reference data.

FAQ

Questions Footing Size Calculator owners ask.

  • 01

    What units does this MCP use?

    The capability uses kips for axial column loads and ksf for soil bearing capacity.

  • 02

    Can I use this with any AI client?

    Yes, it works with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 03

    Does it support different soil types?

    Yes, it includes standardized capacities for types like clay, sand, and gravel.

  • 04

    How does it handle unsafe inputs?

    The validate_engineering_params capability checks if your inputs are within safe, realistic bounds.

  • 05

    What kind of footings can I calculate?

    This MCP is specifically designed for calculating square concrete footings.

  • 06

    What inputs are required for the calculation?

    You need to provide the column load in kips and the allowable soil bearing capacity in ksf.

  • 07

    How can I find the bearing capacity for different soil types?

    You can use the retrieve_soil_capacity capability to look up standardized values for Clay, Sand, and Gravel.

  • 08

    What happens if my input parameters are too high?

    The validate_engineering_params capability will flag any load exceeding 10,000 kips or capacity exceeding 20 ksf as potentially erroneous.
