What kind of loads can this MCP calculate?

It calculates permanent loads, variable loads, and self-weight components for columns and beams.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

Does this MCP handle multi-story buildings?

Yes, it includes logic to account for self-weight and loads across multiple floors.

Can I get a total project load overview?

Yes, the get_structural_load_summary capability provides an aggregated breakdown of all loads per unit area.

How is the beam load calculated?

The capability calculates the distributed linear load based on your provided spacing and floor count.

How is the column axial load calculated?

The calculate_column_axial_load capability sums the permanent load, variable load, and the accumulated self-weight (self-weight per floor multiplied by the number of floors), all scaled by the provided tributary area.

What does the beam linear load represent?

The calculate_beam_linear_load capability calculates the distributed weight (kN/m) acting along a foundation beam by combining permanent and variable loads from the slab area with the beam's own self-weight, multiplied by the number of floors.

Can I get a summary of all load types?

Yes, use the get_structural_load_summary capability to receive an aggregated breakdown of total permanent, variable, and self-weight loads per unit area for your entire building footprint.

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.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Foundation Load Calculator.

01
Calculate beam linear load
This capability calculates the distributed linear load acting on a foundation beam. It uses your input for spacing and floor count to find the load per meter.
02
Calculate column axial load
This capability determines the total vertical force at a column base. It accounts for permanent loads, variable loads, and self-weight across multiple floors.
03
Get structural load summary
This capability provides an aggregated breakdown of all structural loads for a specific project. It gives you the total permanent, variable, and self-weight loads per unit area.

Real work

What teams actually run

Preliminary Foundation Sizing

Use the axial load capability to estimate the forces that foundation footings must support.

Beam Design Verification

Calculate the linear load on foundation beams to check against design limits.

Project Load Auditing

Generate a full structural load summary to ensure all floor loads are accounted for.

Multi-story Load Aggregation

Calculate how self-weight and floor loads accumulate across multiple stories.

One connector, every AI

Foundation Load 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 Foundation Load 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Foundation Load Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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