What is the difference between the two permeability capabilities?

The simple capability uses analytical averaging for speed. The flow-based capability simulates local flow to better capture complex heterogeneity and anisotropy.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

What properties can be upscaled?

This MCP can upscale porosity, Net-to-Gross (NTG), and permeability.

Do I need to host the MCP myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and start using the capabilities.

How does the porosity calculation work?

The capability calculates the coarse-scale porosity for a defined volume of fine-scale cells based on the values you provide.

What is the difference between the permeability methods?

The upscale_permeability_simple capability offers arithmetic, harmonic, and power-average methods for analytical estimation, while upscale_permeability_flow_based uses local numerical simulation to better account for spatial heterogeneity.

How is porosity calculated?

Porosity is calculated as a volume-weighted average of the fine-scale cells using the upscale_porosity capability.

Can I calculate Net-to-Gross (NTG)?

Yes, the upscale_ntg capability determines the ratio of productive reservoir rock volume to the total volume of the coarse cell.

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.

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.

Real work

What teams actually run

Grid Preparation

Convert a high-resolution geological model into a coarser grid that a simulator can actually run.

Heterogeneity Modeling

Use flow-based permeability capabilities when you need to account for complex reservoir anisotropy.

Rapid Property Estimation

Apply simple analytical averaging to get quick permeability values for preliminary studies.

Volume Averaging

One connector, every AI

Reservoir Simulation Upscaling 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 Reservoir Simulation Upscaling 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 Reservoir Simulation Upscaling, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Reservoir Simulation Upscaling. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
