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 Formwork Pressure Service.

  1. 01

    Analyze mix impact

    This capability evaluates how specific variables like temperature or retarders change the pressure profile. It helps you see how chemical or thermal changes affect the load.

  2. 02

    Calculate max pressure

    This capability finds the peak lateral pressure at the most critical point of the formwork. It identifies the highest load your structure must withstand.

  3. 03

    Calculate tie spacing

    This capability determines the maximum allowable distance between formwork ties. It ensures your reinforcement stays within safe limits to prevent failure.

  4. 04

    Get pressure distribution

    This capability provides a vertical profile of pressure at various depths. You use it to plan reinforcement across the entire height of the formwork.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Tie Spacing Verification

Calculate the maximum distance between ties for a specific pour height and rate.

02

Temperature Impact Analysis

Determine how a rise in concrete temperature will increase lateral pressure.

03

Pour Rate Optimization

Adjust placement rates to keep peak pressures within the limits of your formwork.

04

Mix Design Testing

See how adding retarders changes the pressure distribution profile.

One connector, every AI

Formwork Pressure Service 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 Formwork Pressure Service 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 Formwork Pressure Service, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Formwork Pressure Service. 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 Formwork Pressure Service owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals managing concrete pours and structural integrity.

  • 01

    Structural Engineers

    They hand off complex ACI pressure calculations to the AI to verify reinforcement designs.

  • 02

    Civil Engineers

    They use the capability to model how different mix designs affect formwork safety.

  • 03

    Construction Managers

    They check tie spacing and placement rates to ensure site safety during pours.

FAQ

Questions Formwork Pressure Service owners ask.

  • 01

    What standards does this MCP use?

    The calculations are based on ACI standards for lateral pressure on formwork.

  • 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 account for concrete temperature?

    Yes, the capability factors in concrete temperature and how it affects the pressure profile.

  • 04

    How do I calculate tie spacing?

    You can ask your agent to use the calculate_tie_spacing capability after providing your pour parameters.

  • 05

    Do I need to host this myself?

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

  • 06

    How does the placement rate affect the results?

    A higher placement rate increases the time concrete behaves like a fluid, leading to higher peak pressure. You can use calculate_max_pressure to see how this affects your specific pour.

  • 07

    Can I calculate the required tie spacing?

    Yes, once you have the peak pressure, use calculate_tie_spacing to determine the maximum horizontal and vertical distances allowed between ties.

  • 08

    Does the capability account for chemical retarders?

    Yes, the calculate_max_pressure capability includes an optional parameter for retarders, which extends the fluid state of the concrete.
