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 Piping System Design.

  1. 01

    Calculate pipe diameter

    This capability finds the required internal pipe diameter to maintain specific flow rates and velocity limits.

  2. 02

    Calculate pressure drop

    Use this to find the total pressure loss across a pipe length, including all system components.

  3. 03

    Calculate pump head

    This capability determines the total energy a pump needs to overcome system resistance and elevation changes.

  4. 04

    Validate system constraints

    This capability checks your design against safety and operational limits for pressure and velocity.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Initial Pipe Sizing

Quickly find the right pipe diameters when starting a new process line design.

02

System Loss Audits

Calculate total pressure drops to understand energy losses in existing or proposed lines.

03

Pump Selection

Determine the exact head needed to overcome elevation and friction before choosing hardware.

04

Safety Compliance Checks

Verify that your calculated velocities and pressures won't exceed equipment limits.

One connector, every AI

Piping System 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 Piping System 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 Piping System Design, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Piping System 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 Piping System Design owners hand off.

This MCP is built for engineers working in process plant design and fluid transport.

  • 01

    Process Engineer

    Hands off flow rate and fluid data to the AI to get rapid diameter and pressure calculations.

  • 02

    Mechanical Engineer

    Uses the capability to verify pump head requirements and system resistance.

  • 03

    Plant Designer

    Relies on the MCP to validate that piping layouts meet safety constraints.

FAQ

Questions Piping System Design owners ask.

  • 01

    What can this MCP calculate?

    It calculates pipe diameters, pressure drops, pump head requirements, and validates system constraints like velocity and pressure.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

  • 03

    Does this MCP handle minor losses in pressure drop?

    Yes, the pressure drop capability accounts for losses across specific pipe lengths and components like elbows.

  • 04

    How do I use this for pump sizing?

    You use the calculate_pump_head capability to find the energy needed to overcome system resistance and elevation changes.

  • 05

    Can it check if my design is safe?

    Yes, the validate_system_constraints capability checks if your design meets specific operational and safety limits.

  • 06

    What can I calculate with this capability?

    You can calculate the required pipe diameter, the total pressure drop (including major and minor losses), the required pump head, and validate if the system meets safety constraints.

  • 07

    Does it account for fittings and valves?

    Yes, the calculate_pressure_drop capability accounts for minor losses caused by fittings like elbows, tees, and valves.

  • 08

    How do I ensure my design is safe?

    Use the validate_system_constraints capability to check if your calculated velocity and pressure drop are within the specified maximum limits.
