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 Pipeline Riser Design.
- 01
Assess viv risk
This capability evaluates the risk of Vortex-Induced Vibration. It helps you determine if you need suppression measures like strakes.
- 02
Calculate fatigue life
This capability estimates how long a specific riser configuration will last structurally.
- 03
Select riser configuration
This capability picks the most suitable riser type based on your offshore site and pipeline specs.
- 04
Verify structural integrity
This capability checks if your riser can handle the load cases for both installation and operation.
Real work
What teams actually run
Initial Site Assessment
Use the AI to quickly find the right riser type for a new offshore location.
Vibration Risk Analysis
Check if current velocities at a site require VIV suppression like strakes.
Design Validation
Verify that a specific riser diameter and type can handle installation loads.
Longevity Planning
Estimate the fatigue life of a riser to plan maintenance and replacement cycles.
One connector, every AI
Pipeline Riser 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 Pipeline Riser 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 Pipeline Riser Design, so you can see the experience inside your AI.
It does not authenticate your account with Pipeline Riser Design. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ
Questions Pipeline Riser Design owners ask.
- 01
What standards does this MCP follow?
The MCP uses API RP 2RD standards for riser design and validation.
- 02
Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?
You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.
- 03
Can it help with VIV suppression?
Yes, the capability assesses VIV risk and can recommend suppression methods like strakes.
- 04
Does it check for installation safety?
Yes, the integrity capability checks if the riser can handle load cases during both installation and operation.
- 05
How do I get started?
Just connect your client to Vinkius. Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages everything so it is ready to use instantly.
- 06
What standards does this capability follow?
The design methodologies and calculations follow the API RP 2RD standards for offshore riser design.
- 07
Can I check if a design is safe for installation?
Yes, you can use the verify_structural_integrity capability and set the installation phase flag to true to validate deployment loads.
- 08
How is fatigue life calculated?
Fatigue life is estimated using the calculate_fatigue_life capability, which considers wave height, period, current velocity, and vessel motion.
