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.

Le ChatBuilding 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.
Connect your client
One URL. Every client.
Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 1 capability arrives 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 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.

FAQ
Questions Pillar Design Empirical owners ask.
- 01
What formulas are used for calculations?
The capability currently utilizes the Obert-Duvall empirical formula to determine pillar strength and stability.
- 02
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.
- 03
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.
