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

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Rebar Splice Decision Support.

  1. 01

    Evaluate welded splice feasibility

    This capability checks if welding is a realistic option. It looks at site constraints and reinforcement congestion to see if welding will work.

  2. 02

    Estimate mechanical splice cost

    This capability handles the math for mechanical couplers. It calculates the total financial impact of using mechanical splices for your project.

  3. 03

    Generate splice recommendation

    This capability provides the final decision. It compares all your calculated data to recommend a lap, mechanical, or welded splice.

  4. 04

    Calculate lap splice requirements

    This capability determines the necessary overlap length. It uses the structural geometry to find the required lap splice distance.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Budgeting for Reinforcement

Compare the cost of mechanical splices against lap splices to finalize a project estimate.

02

Congested Cage Analysis

Determine if there is enough room for welding or if mechanical couplers are required.

03

Design Verification

Confirm that lap splice lengths meet structural requirements for specific bar diameters.

04

Site Method Selection

Use the recommendation capability to pick a splicing method that fits both the budget and the site layout.

One connector, every AI

Rebar Splice Decision Support 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 Rebar Splice Decision Support 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.

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 Rebar Splice Decision Support, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Rebar Splice Decision Support. 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 Rebar Splice Decision Support owners hand off.

Structural engineers and construction managers use this to move from design to field execution quickly.

  • 01

    Structural Engineer

    Hands off geometry and tension requirements to the AI to get splice lengths.

  • 02

    Construction Manager

    Uses the capability to compare the cost of mechanical splices against traditional lap splices.

  • 03

    Site Engineer

    Checks if welding is a viable option for a specific area of the reinforcement cage.

FAQ

Questions Rebar Splice Decision Support owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I use this MCP with my AI client?

    You connect your client, such as Claude or Cursor, to the Vinkius platform. Once connected, your agent can immediately call the rebar capabilities.

  • 02

    What kind of splicing methods does this MCP evaluate?

    The MCP evaluates lap splices, mechanical splices, and welded splices.

  • 03

    Can this capability help with cost estimation?

    Yes, it includes a capability specifically designed to estimate the financial impact of using mechanical couplers.

  • 04

    Does it account for site congestion?

    Yes, one of the capabilities evaluates if welding is feasible based on how congested the site or rebar cage is.

  • 05

    Do I need to host the MCP myself?

    No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect and use it.

  • 06

    How does the capability determine the lap splice length?

    The calculate_lap_splice_requirements capability determines the length based on the bar diameter, the type of load (tension or compression), and the structural zone location.

  • 07

    Can I use this to compare costs between methods?

    Yes. You can use estimate_mechanical_splice_cost to find the total cost of couplers and then use generate_splice_recommendation to compare that against other methods.

  • 08

    What factors influence the final recommendation?

    The recommendation is driven by the calculated lap length, the total mechanical cost, the feasibility of welding, and the reinforcement congestion level.
