What can this MCP calculate for surfboard design?

It calculates drag force, required power for specific speeds, speed loss due to power constraints, and the transition velocity from displacement to planing.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

Do I need to host the MCP myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and it works.

Can I use this for motorized watercraft?

Yes, the hydrodynamic calculations for drag and power requirements apply to any board-style craft in the water.

How do I get the results in my design capability?

Once you connect the MCP, your AI agent handles the capability calls and provides the results directly in your chat or workspace.

How do I calculate the drag force for a planing surfboard?

Use the get_drag_force capability and set the isPlaning parameter to true to account for skin friction in planing mode.

Can I find the speed at which my board starts to plane?

Yes, use the get_mode_transition_threshold capability with your board's wetted surface area and shape coefficient.

How much power is needed to maintain a specific velocity?

You can determine this by calling get_required_power with your target velocity and the drag force calculated from get_drag_force.

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 Hydrodynamic Resistance Calculator.

01
Get mode transition threshold
This capability identifies the critical velocity where a board transitions from displacement to planing.
02
Get required power
Use this to determine the amount of energy per unit time needed to sustain a specific speed.
03
Get speed loss
This capability estimates the deceleration effect or the difference in speed when power is constrained.
04
Get drag force
This capability calculates the total hydrodynamic retarding force acting on the surfboard.

Real work

What teams actually run

Hull Design Validation

Check the drag force of a new surfboard shape before building a prototype.

Power Requirement Planning

Calculate the energy needed to maintain specific speeds for motorized surfboards.

Performance Prediction

Estimate how much a board will slow down under different power loads.

Transition Testing

Find the exact speed where a board moves from displacement to planing mode.

One connector, every AI

Hydrodynamic Resistance Calculator 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 Hydrodynamic Resistance Calculator 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 Hydrodynamic Resistance Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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