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 · 4 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Pipeline Hot Tap Design.

  1. 01

    Calculate coupon geometry

    This capability defines the physical properties and dimensions of the metal segment removed during the tapping process.

  2. 02

    Calculate fitting selection

    Use this to pick the right connection hardware based on your existing pipeline specs and desired branch size.

  3. 03

    Design welding profile

    This capability generates the thermal parameters needed to safely weld a new connection onto a pressurized pipe.

  4. 04

    Verify pressure containment

    This capability checks if your proposed design can safely withstand the pipeline's operating pressure.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Live Branch Connections

Design a new branch connection on a pressurized line without a shutdown.

02

Safety Margin Verification

Confirm that a proposed fitting can handle the current operating pressure of a pipeline.

03

Welding Procedure Planning

Get the exact preheat and interpass temperatures needed for specific steel grades.

04

Hardware Sizing

Match branch sizes and wall thicknesses to the correct split tee or fitting.

One connector, every AI

Pipeline Hot Tap 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.

Building 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.

Who it's for

Built for the work Pipeline Hot Tap Design owners hand off.

This MCP is built for engineers working on live pipeline infrastructure and pressure systems.

  • 01

    Pipeline Engineer

    Hands off material specs and pipe dimensions to the AI to get rapid design verifications.

  • 02

    Welding Engineer

    Uses the capability to generate precise thermal profiles for pressurized welding operations.

  • 03

    Checks proposed hot tap designs against pressure containment requirements.

FAQ

Questions Pipeline Hot Tap Design owners ask.

  • 01

    What kind of pipelines can I use this for?

    This MCP is designed for pressurized pipelines where hot tap connections are required.

  • 02

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

    Yes, you can use this with any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 03

    Does this capability handle welding temperatures?

    Yes, the design_welding_profile capability generates the thermal parameters required for welding on pressurized pipes.

  • 04

    How does it help with fitting selection?

    The calculate_fitting_selection capability determines the appropriate hardware based on your existing pipe and branch size.

  • 05

    Can it verify if my design is safe?

    Yes, the verify_pressure_containment capability validates if a design can withstand the operating pressure.

  • 06

    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.

  • 07

    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.

  • 08

    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.
