How do I use this MCP with Claude?

You connect to the Vinkius catalog once, and the capabilities become available in your Claude interface for immediate use.

What kind of soil data do I need to provide?

You can provide properties like bulk density, soil structure, moisture levels, and vegetation cover to get accurate results.

Can this MCP predict flooding?

It can estimate the likelihood of surface runoff, which is a key indicator of potential flooding during rain events.

Does this work for agricultural planning?

Yes, it helps determine how much water soil can absorb, which is useful for managing irrigation and preventing runoff.

Do I need to host the MCP myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use as soon as you connect.

What models are used for infiltration calculations?

The server supports both Green-Ampt and Horton infiltration models to calculate cumulative water absorption.

How does soil texture affect the results?

Soil texture is a primary input for get_initial_infiltration_rate, as sand, silt, and clay have different pore size distributions that dictate water entry speed.

Can I assess runoff risk for a specific rain event?

Yes, by using estimate_runoff_risk with current infiltration rates, rainfall intensity, and vegetation cover, you can determine the probability of surface runoff.

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 Infiltration Rate Estimator.

01
Analyze soil structure impact
This capability evaluates how soil structure and bulk density interact to change infiltration potential.
02
Estimate runoff risk
Use this to assess the likelihood of surface runoff occurring during a specific rain event.
03
Get cumulative infiltration
This capability determines the total volume of water the soil absorbs over a specific duration.
04
Get initial infiltration rate
This capability calculates the soil's immediate capacity to absorb water at the start of a rain event.

Real work

What teams actually run

Flood Risk Modeling

Assess if a specific area will experience surface runoff during heavy rain.

Irrigation Planning

Determine how much water a field can absorb to prevent wasted irrigation.

Erosion Control

Evaluate soil stability and runoff likelihood to plan for soil conservation.

Soil Health Assessment

Analyze how bulk density and structure affect the soil's ability to manage water.

One connector, every AI

Infiltration Rate Estimator 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 Infiltration Rate Estimator 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 Infiltration Rate Estimator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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