Le ChatBuilding your own app? The connector is yours to use.
You don't need a client to put Pipeline Hot Tap 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.
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 Pipeline Hot Tap Design, so you can see the experience inside your AI.
It does not authenticate your account with Pipeline Hot Tap Design. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ
Questions Pipeline Hot Tap Design owners ask.
- 01
How do I select the right hardware for my connection?
You can use the calculate_fitting_selection capability. Provide the pipe diameter, wall thickness, branch diameter, and material grade to receive the recommended fitting type and compatibility status.
- 02
Can this capability verify if my design is safe for the current pressure?
Yes. By using verify_pressure_containment, you can input the operating pressure and wall thicknesses to determine if the design meets the required safety factor.
- 03
What information is needed for the welding profile?
To use design_welding_profile, you must provide the pipe material grade, the current operating pressure, and the ambient temperature.
