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.

  3. 03

    Validate geotechnical safety

    This capability checks if a proposed set of pit blocks adheres to your required safety slope constraints.

  4. 04

    Calculate block values

    This capability transforms raw block model data and economic parameters into net profit or loss values for every individual block.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Economic Sensitivity Analysis

Change metal prices and mining costs to see how the optimal pit shell changes.

02

Pit Limit Determination

Use the Lerchs-Grossmann algorithm to find the most profitable boundary for a new mine.

03

Safety Compliance Checks

Verify that a proposed pit design won't violate geotechnical slope limits.

04

Project Reporting

Generate summaries of NPV and contained metal for stakeholders.

One connector, every AI

Pit Optimization Engine 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 Pit Optimization Engine 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 Pit Optimization Engine, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Pit Optimization Engine. 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 Pit Optimization Engine owners hand off.

Mining engineers and planners use this MCP to automate the mathematical heavy lifting of pit design.

  • 01

    Mining Engineer

    Hands off block model data to the AI to run optimization cycles.

  • 02

    Mine Planner

    Uses the capability to quickly iterate on pit limits and economic scenarios.

    Verifies that optimized pit shells stay within safe slope constraints.

FAQ

Questions Pit Optimization Engine owners ask.

  • 01

    What algorithm does this MCP use for pit optimization?

    This MCP uses the Lerchs-Grossmann algorithm to determine the most profitable pit shell.

  • 02

    Can I check if my pit design is safe?

    Yes, you can use the validate_geotechnical_safety capability to check if pit blocks adhere to required slope constraints.

  • 03

    How do I get the total NPV of a pit?

    You can use the summarize_pit_metrics capability to aggregate optimization results into high-level business metrics.

  • 04

    What kind of data do I need to provide?

    You need to provide block model data and economic parameters like metal prices and mining costs.

  • 05

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

  • 06

    What is the Lerchs-Grossmann algorithm?

    It is a mathematical method used to find the ultimate pit limit by maximizing total profit while respecting geotechnical slope constraints.

  • 07

    How does the capability handle mining costs?

    The calculate_block_values capability accounts for depth-dependent costs by applying a multiplier to the base mining cost as the z-coordinate decreases.

  • 08

    Can I verify if my pit design is safe?

    Yes, you can use the validate_geotechnical_safety capability to check if your proposed pit blocks adhere to the specified slope angles.
