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

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Haul Road Design.

  1. 01

    Calculate curve and sight

    This capability ensures turns are safe for vehicle speeds and that drivers have enough sight distance to stop.

  2. 02

    Calculate road geometry

    This capability determines the physical dimensions required for a specific vehicle and traffic profile.

  3. 03

    Design surface and drainage

    This capability defines the structural and water management needs for the road surface.

  4. 04

    Estimate maintenance schedule

    This capability predicts how often the road will require upkeep based on usage.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

New Pit Development

Design the initial haul road network as the mine layout is established.

02

Safety Audits

Verify that existing curves and sight distances meet safety standards for current truck speeds.

03

Fleet Upgrades

Recalculate road dimensions when moving to larger or heavier vehicle classes.

04

Rainy Season Prep

Adjust drainage and surface designs based on projected annual rainfall.

One connector, every AI

Haul Road 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 Haul Road 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 Haul Road Design, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

FAQ

Questions Haul Road Design owners ask.

  • 01

    What AI clients can I use with this MCP?

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

  • 02

    Do I need to host the MCP myself?

    No. Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use immediately after connection.

  • 03

    Can it design roads for specific truck sizes?

    Yes. You can provide specific vehicle widths and traffic profiles to get accurate geometry and sight distance results.

  • 04

    Does it account for weather conditions?

    Yes. The design capability uses annual rainfall data to define necessary drainage and surface requirements.

  • 05

    How does it help with maintenance?

    The estimate_maintenance_schedule capability predicts how often a road will need upkeep based on your specific traffic and vehicle data.

  • 06

    What parameters are needed for road geometry?

    You need to provide the truck width, traffic volume, whether it is a two-way road, and the gradient.

  • 07

    How does the capability handle safety requirements?

    The calculate_curve_and_sight capability calculates the minimum curve radius and required sight distance based on vehicle width, design speed, and gradient.

  • 08

    Can I estimate maintenance costs?

    Yes, using estimate_maintenance_schedule, you can predict the maintenance interval and estimated annual cost based on traffic and truck weight.
