What can this MCP calculate for retaining walls?

It calculates drainage pipe diameters, gravel filter thicknesses, weep hole spacing, and overall drainage safety margins.

Which AI clients can use this drainage designer?

You can use this MCP with any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code.

How does the MCP handle water inflow data?

You provide the inflow rate, and the agent uses the calculate_drain_pipe_diameter capability to find the correct pipe size.

Can it help prevent wall failure?

Yes, by using the evaluate_drainage_safety_margin capability to check for pressure and clogging risks.

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.

What parameters are required for pipe diameter calculation?

To use calculate_drain_pipe_diameter, you need to provide the wall height in meters, the total wall length in meters, and the water inflow rate.

How does the capability prevent clogging in the drainage system?

The capability uses calculate_gravel_filter_thickness to determine the necessary thickness of the gravel layer based on backfill permeability, ensuring soil particles do not migrate and block the system.

Can I assess the overall safety of my drainage design?

Yes, you can use evaluate_drainage_safety_margin by providing the designed pipe diameter, filter thickness, and soil permeability to receive a safety factor and status assessment.

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.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Retaining Wall Drainage.

01
Calculate gravel filter thickness
This capability calculates the required thickness for a gravel filter layer. It ensures the filter prevents soil migration and system clogging.
02
Calculate drain pipe diameter
This capability determines the necessary diameter for perforated drainage pipes. It matches the pipe size to the expected water inflow volume.
03
Calculate weep hole spacing
This capability finds the optimal distance between weep holes. It ensures the wall face has enough exit points for excess water.
04
Evaluate drainage safety margin
This capability assesses the overall drainage design. It checks for potential risks related to clogging and hydrostatic pressure buildup.

Real work

What teams actually run

New Wall Design

Input wall height and expected water inflow to get a full drainage component list.

Soil Migration Prevention

Use the gravel filter capability to prevent soil from clogging your drainage pipes.

Pressure Risk Mitigation

Run a safety margin evaluation to ensure the wall won't fail due to hydrostatic pressure.

Weep Hole Planning

Calculate exactly how many weep holes are needed for a specific wall length and inflow rate.

One connector, every AI

Retaining Wall Drainage 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 Retaining Wall Drainage 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.
