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.

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.
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.
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.

One connector, every AI
Foundation Settlement 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.

Le ChatBuilding your own app? The connector is yours to use.
You don't need a client to put Foundation Settlement 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication
The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Foundation Settlement Service, so you can see the experience inside your AI.
It does not authenticate your account with Foundation Settlement 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 Foundation Settlement Service owners hand off.
Geotechnical engineers and foundation designers use this MCP to automate soil movement calculations within their existing AI workflows.
- 01
Geotechnical Engineer
Hands off soil parameter data to the AI to get rapid settlement estimates.
- 02
Foundation Designer
Uses the AI to verify how structural loads will impact ground stability.
- 03
Civil Engineer
Integrates settlement data into broader site development plans.
FAQ
Questions Foundation Settlement Service owners ask.
- 01
What kind of soil types can this MCP analyze?
The MCP includes specific capabilities for calculating consolidation settlement in cohesive soils like clay and silt.
- 02
Can I calculate settlement over a specific timeframe?
Yes, you can use the time-dependent settlement capability to estimate movement at a specific point in time during the consolidation process.
- 03
How do I get the total expected movement?
You can use the capability that combines immediate and consolidation settlement to find the total expected movement.
- 04
Which AI clients can use this MCP?
This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.
- 05
Do I need to host the MCP myself?
No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use once you connect your client.
- 06
What is the difference between immediate and consolidation settlement?
Immediate settlement is the instantaneous elastic response of the soil, while consolidation settlement is the time-dependent volume change caused by pore water dissipation in cohesive soils.
- 07
Can I calculate settlement for sand using the consolidation capability?
No, consolidation settlement is specifically for cohesive soils like clay or silt. For sand, the consolidation settlement is treated as zero.
- 08
How do I get the total expected movement of a foundation?
You can use the get_total_settlement capability, which sums the results from the immediate and consolidation settlement calculations.
