What math does this MCP use for calculations?

The MCP uses Manning's equation to determine waterway dimensions and hydraulic stability.

Can I compare different channel shapes?

Yes, you can use the capability to compare the hydraulic efficiency and stability of parabolic and trapezoidal geometries.

Does it account for vegetation?

Yes, the capability accounts for vegetation retardance and can evaluate erosion risks during the vegetation establishment period.

What kind of clients can I use this with?

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

Can it help with maintenance planning?

Yes, it includes a capability to estimate long-term maintenance schedules to keep the waterway functional.

How do I determine the size of my waterway?

You can use the calculate_waterway_dimensions capability. Provide the drainage area, peak runoff rate, slope, soil type, vegetation type, and preferred shape to get the required width and depth.

How is erosion risk managed during plant growth?

The evaluate_establishment_risk capability assesses the risk level and provides recommended protective measures for the period before vegetation is fully established.

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

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Grassed Waterway Design.

01
Estimate maintenance schedule
This capability generates a long-term plan to keep your waterway stable and functional.
02
Calculate waterway dimensions
Use this to find the exact physical size and shape needed to handle peak runoff.
03
Compare shapes
This capability compares the hydraulic efficiency and stability between different channel geometries.
04
Evaluate establishment risk
This capability assesses the likelihood of erosion occurring before vegetation is fully grown.

Real work

What teams actually run

Channel Shape Optimization

Compare parabolic and trapezoidal designs to find the most efficient shape for a specific slope.

Early Stage Risk Management

Check for erosion risks in a new waterway before the grass has fully grown in.

Runoff Capacity Planning

Determine the required width and depth for a waterway based on acreage and runoff rates.

Long-term Upkeep

Create a maintenance schedule to ensure the waterway stays functional over time.

One connector, every AI

Grassed Waterway Design 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 Grassed Waterway Design 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.
