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

One connector, every AI

Heat Exchanger Network Synthesis 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 Heat Exchanger Network Synthesis 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 Heat Exchanger Network Synthesis, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Heat Exchanger Network Synthesis. 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 Heat Exchanger Network Synthesis owners hand off.

This MCP is built for engineers working on thermal process optimization and plant design.

  • 01

    Chemical Engineers

    They hand off stream data to the AI to find optimal heat recovery configurations.

  • 02

    Process Engineers

    They use the capability to verify energy efficiency targets for industrial plants.

  • 03

    Thermal Designers

    They rely on the MCP to calculate enthalpy changes and design exchanger networks.

FAQ

Questions Heat Exchanger Network Synthesis owners ask.

  • 01

    What kind of engineering tasks can this MCP handle?

    It handles process integration tasks like Pinch Analysis, heat load calculations, and heat exchanger network design.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

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

  • 03

    How does it help with energy savings?

    It uses Pinch Analysis to identify how to maximize heat recovery between streams, which reduces the need for external heating or cooling utilities.

  • 04

    Can it design the actual exchanger layout?

    Yes, the design_network_configuration capability allows the AI to propose specific exchanger arrangements for your streams.

  • 05

    Do I need to host the MCP myself?

    No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and start using the capabilities.

  • 06

    How do I determine the minimum utility requirements?

    You can use the analyze_pinch_limits capability to calculate the minimum hot and cold utility requirements based on your stream data and the minimum temperature approach.

  • 07

    Can I design a network for minimum area instead of maximum heat recovery?

    Yes, when using design_network_configuration, you can specify the designStrategy as either 'maximum heat recovery' or 'minimum area'.

  • 08

    How is the efficiency of my design measured?

    The evaluate_energy_efficiency capability compares your actual utility usage against the theoretical minimums to provide a heat recovery ratio and detect any pinch violations.
