How does this MCP handle waste in block counts?

You can specify a waste percentage when using the block count capability, and it will add that margin to the total number of units required.

Can I calculate cement and sand separately?

Yes, the estimate capability takes the total mortar volume and your specific mix ratio to provide the exact amounts of cement and sand needed.

Does it calculate bedding and coating mortar separately?

Yes, the mortar volume capability provides the volume for both bedding and coating.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

Do I need to host this myself?

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

How do I calculate the number of blocks needed for my wall?

You can use the calculate_block_count capability. Provide the total surface area of your wall, the type of block you are using (such as hollow_9x19x39), and an optional waste percentage.

How much mortar do I need for the joints and plastering?

Use the calculate_mortar_volume capability. You will need to provide the wall area, the block type, and the thickness of the coating layer.

Can I estimate how much cement and sand to buy?

Yes, by using the estimate_raw_materials capability. Once you have the total mortar volume from the previous step, input that volume and your desired mix ratio (e.g., '1:3') to get the required quantities.

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.

Curated set · 3 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Masonry Quantity Calculator.

01
Calculate mortar volume
Use this to find the total volume of mortar required for a project. It calculates both the bedding and the coating volumes separately.
02
Estimate raw materials
This capability converts your total mortar volume into the actual amounts of cement and sand you need to order. It uses the specific mix ratio you provide.
03
Calculate block count
This capability determines the total number of masonry units needed for a specific wall area. It accounts for the block type and includes a waste margin you specify.

Real work

What teams actually run

Project Bidding

Use the block count and material capabilities to build accurate cost estimates for new masonry contracts.

Site Material Ordering

Convert mortar volume into sand and cement amounts to place orders with suppliers.

Waste Planning

Apply specific waste percentages to block counts to ensure you have enough units for the job.

Mortar Mix Prep

Determine the exact amount of raw materials needed for a specific volume of mortar based on a set ratio.

Automate a task

Put Masonry Quantity Calculator to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Masonry Quantity 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 Masonry Quantity 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.
