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

    This capability finds the required footing depth needed to resist shear forces.

  4. 04

    Get reinforcement requirement

    This capability calculates the specific area and spacing of steel reinforcement required to handle bending loads.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Foundation Sizing

Determine the footprint of a footing based on specific column loads and soil capacity.

02

Shear Verification

Check if a proposed footing thickness is sufficient to resist shear forces.

03

Steel Detailing

Get the exact steel area and bar spacing needed for bending resistance.

04

Embedment Checks

Verify the development length for reinforcement bars within the concrete.

One connector, every AI

Footing Design Service 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 Footing Design Service 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 Footing Design Service, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Footing Design Service. 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 Footing Design Service owners hand off.

This MCP is built for structural and civil engineers who need to quickly verify foundation designs.

  • 01

    Structural Engineer

    Uses the capability to generate reinforcement and thickness specs for foundation plans.

  • 02

    Civil Engineer

    Uses the capability to determine footing dimensions based on soil bearing capacity.

  • 03

    Engineering Technician

    Uses the capability to run quick checks on column loads and footing geometry.

FAQ

Questions Footing Design Service owners ask.

  • 01

    What can this MCP calculate for footings?

    It calculates footing dimensions, thickness for shear resistance, steel reinforcement requirements, and bar embedment lengths.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

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

  • 03

    Does it account for soil capacity?

    Yes, the dimension capability uses soil bearing capacity to determine the required length and width of the footing.

  • 04

    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.

  • 05

    Can it help with steel reinforcement design?

    Yes, it calculates the required area and spacing of steel reinforcement needed to resist bending.

  • 06

    What inputs are required for footing design?

    You need to provide the column load, bending moment, soil bearing capacity, column dimensions, concrete strength, and steel yield strength.

  • 07

    How does the capability handle shear checks?

    The get_footing_thickness capability evaluates both one-way shear and two-way punching shear to ensure the footing depth is sufficient.

  • 08

    Can I design for different soil types?

    Yes, simply input the specific soil bearing capacity (kPa) for your site into the dimensioning capability.
