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

1 capability in this set.

Part of 1 available through Pillar Design Empirical.

  1. 01

    Pillar stability design

    This capability calculates rock pillar stability by applying the Obert-Duvall empirical formula. It takes pillar geometry, rock strength, and vertical stress to determine the factor of safety.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Initial Pillar Sizing

Test different width and height ratios to find a stable pillar configuration.

02

Safety Verification

Check if current pillar designs meet required factor of safety thresholds.

03

Stress Impact Analysis

Determine how increasing vertical stress affects the stability of existing pillars.

04

Rock Strength Testing

Evaluate how changes in UCS impact the overall stability of a design.

One connector, every AI

Pillar Design Empirical 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 Pillar Design Empirical 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 Pillar Design Empirical, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Pillar Design Empirical. 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 Pillar Design Empirical owners hand off.

This MCP is designed for professionals working in underground mining and geotechnical engineering.

  • 01

    Mining Engineers

    They hand off pillar dimensions and rock properties to the agent for rapid stability checks.

  • 02

    Geotechnical Engineers

    They use the capability to validate rock mass strength against applied vertical loads.

  • 03

    Underground Designers

    They use the output to iterate on pillar geometry during the design phase.

FAQ

Questions Pillar Design Empirical owners ask.

  • 01

    What formula does this MCP use for calculations?

    This MCP uses the Obert-Duvall empirical formula to calculate rock pillar stability.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

  • 03

    What inputs are required for a stability check?

    You need to provide the pillar width, height, the rock's Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), and the applied vertical stress.

  • 04

    Can I use this for mining design?

    Yes, it is specifically built for geotechnical tasks like rock pillar design in mining engineering.

  • 05

    Does Vinkius host the MCP?

    Yes, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP so it is ready to use as soon as you connect your client.

  • 06

    What formulas are used for calculations?

    The capability currently utilizes the Obert-Duvall empirical formula to determine pillar strength and stability.

  • 07

    What inputs are required for the stability capability?

    You need to provide the pillar width, height, the Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) of the rock, and the applied vertical stress.

  • 08

    How is the factor of safety interpreted?

    A factor of safety greater than one indicates the pillar is theoretically stable under the provided loading conditions.
