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.

Le ChatBuilding 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.

FAQ
Questions Pit Optimization Engine owners ask.
- 01
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.
- 02
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.
- 03
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.
