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

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

  3. 03

    Evaluate stability safety factor

    This capability provides a high-level assessment to check if a proposed support design is sufficient.

  4. 04

    Get design summary

    This capability aggregates all technical design components into one cohesive specification.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Mine Support Design

Calculate the necessary rock bolt patterns for new underground mine headings.

02

Tunnel Stability Checks

Verify if a proposed shotcrete thickness is sufficient for a specific tunnel diameter and rock quality.

03

Safety Auditing

Use the safety factor capability to check if existing design parameters meet required stability levels.

04

Work Order Creation

Generate a complete technical specification for a support installation crew.

One connector, every AI

Ground Support 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 Ground Support 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.

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 Ground Support Design, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Ground Support Design. 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 Ground Support Design owners hand off.

This MCP is built for engineers working in mining, tunneling, and underground construction.

  • 01

    Geotechnical Engineer

    Hands off rock mass data to the agent to generate reinforcement requirements.

  • 02

    Mining Engineer

    Uses the agent to quickly verify support designs for new excavations.

  • 03

    Tunneling Designer

    Relies on the agent to calculate shotcrete and bolt patterns for tunnel stability.

FAQ

Questions Ground Support Design owners ask.

  • 01

    What AI clients can I use with this MCP?

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

  • 02

    What kind of rock mass data do I need to provide?

    You should provide the rock mass quality and the stress ratios to get accurate bolt patterns and shotcrete thickness.

  • 03

    Can this MCP help with safety verification?

    Yes, the evaluate_stability_safety_factor capability assesses if your proposed design meets safety standards.

  • 04

    How do I get a final design document?

    You can use the get_design_summary capability to aggregate all your technical specifications into one document.

  • 05

    Does this MCP handle both bolts and shotcrete?

    Yes, it includes specific capabilities for calculating both rock bolt patterns and shotcrete thickness requirements.

  • 06

    What inputs are required for bolt pattern calculation?

    To use calculate_bolt_pattern, you need to provide the rock mass quality, the stress ratio, and the excavation width in meters.

  • 07

    Can I verify if my design is safe?

    Yes, you can use the evaluate_stability_safety_factor capability to check if your proposed bolt spacing and shotcrete thickness provide an adequate safety factor for the given conditions.

  • 08

    How do I get a final technical specification?

    Once you have determined the bolt type, length, spacing, and shotcrete thickness, use get_design_summary to generate a complete technical specification.
