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.

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.
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.
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
We ship only the actions that matter.
01-04
4 capabilities in this set.
Part of 4 available through Open Pit Pushback Design.
- 01
Calculate material volumes
This capability calculates the exact amount of ore and waste within a specific design area.
- 02
Get pushback boundaries
This capability identifies the geometric limits for any proposed pushback phase.
- 03
Optimize stripping ratio
This capability suggests changes to pushback limits to balance waste removal against ore access.
- 04
Validate production schedule
This capability checks if your sequence of pushbacks meets required annual ore extraction targets.
Real work
What teams actually run
Expansion Planning
Define new pushback boundaries and immediately calculate the material volumes involved.
Production Verification
Check if a proposed sequence of pit phases will meet your yearly ore requirements.
Economic Optimization
Adjust pushback limits to find a better balance between waste removal and ore access.
Geometric Modeling
Generate specific geometric boundaries for new phases based on ultimate pit constraints.
One connector, every AI
Open Pit Pushback Design 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.

Le ChatBuilding your own app? The connector is yours to use.
You don't need a client to put Open Pit Pushback Design 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 Open Pit Pushback Design, so you can see the experience inside your AI.
It does not authenticate your account with Open Pit Pushback Design. 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 Open Pit Pushback Design owners hand off.
This MCP is built for mining engineers and production planners who need to iterate on pit designs quickly.
- 01
Mining Engineer
Uses the MCP to define pit geometries and calculate material volumes.
- 02
Production Planner
Uses the MCP to validate that pushback sequences meet annual ore targets.
- 03
Mine Manager
Uses the MCP to review stripping ratio optimizations for economic feasibility.
FAQ
Questions Open Pit Pushback Design owners ask.
- 01
What can this MCP do for mine planning?
It handles boundary definition, material volume calculations, stripping ratio optimization, and production schedule validation.
- 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
How does it help with stripping ratios?
The optimize_stripping_ratio capability suggests adjustments to pushback limits to balance waste removal and ore access.
- 04
Can I check if my mine plan meets production targets?
Yes, the validate_production_schedule capability checks if your pushback sequence meets required annual ore extraction goals.
- 05
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 your client.
- 06
How do I define a new expansion phase?
You can use the get_pushback_boundaries capability by providing the ultimate pit boundary, the current pit boundary, and the desired slope angle.
- 07
Can I check if my mine plan meets annual targets?
Yes, the validate_production_schedule capability checks your sequence of pushbacks against your annual ore target to ensure feasibility.
- 08
How is the stripping ratio managed?
The optimize_stripping_ratio capability helps adjust pushback geometries to achieve a specific waste-to-ore ratio.
