What can this MCP calculate for SAG mills?

It calculates physical mill dimensions, electrical motor power requirements, steel ball charge, and the necessity of a pebble crushing circuit.

Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

Do I need to provide ore hardness for the pebble circuit check?

Yes, the capability evaluates the need for a pebble crushing circuit based on ore hardness and feed size.

Can I use this to estimate motor torque?

Yes, the power requirements capability provides both estimated motor power and torque.

How does Vinkius handle the MCP?

Vinkius hosts the MCP and manages all the technical connections so you can use it with one click.

How do I calculate the mill size?

Use the calculate_mill_dimensions capability by providing the target throughput, Bond Work Index (BWi), feed size, and desired product size.

Can I estimate the power needed for the motor?

Yes, the calculate_power_requirements capability estimates motor power and torque based on the mill's diameter, length, and charge volumes.

How is the ball charge determined?

The estimate_ball_charge capability calculates the required steel media mass and volume percentage using the mill diameter, ore Abrasion Index (Ai), and throughput.

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 SAG Mill Sizing & Design.

01
Calculate mill dimensions
This capability determines the physical size of the SAG mill. It outputs the necessary diameter and length based on your design parameters.
02
Calculate power requirements
Use this to estimate the electrical motor power needed. It provides power and torque estimates for the mill drive.
03
Estimate ball charge
This capability calculates the optimal amount of steel grinding media. It helps you find the right ball charge for your specific mill setup.
04
Evaluate pebble circuit
This capability checks if a pebble crushing circuit is necessary. It looks at ore hardness and feed size to decide if a crusher is needed.

Real work

What teams actually run

Initial Plant Design

Use the MCP to establish baseline mill dimensions and power needs during the feasibility stage.

Ore Type Assessment

Check if a new ore body requires a pebble crushing circuit by inputting its BWi and feed size.

Media Loading Optimization

Calculate the exact steel ball charge needed for a specific mill configuration.

Power Demand Planning

Estimate the electrical load for the mill motor to assist in site power infrastructure planning.

One connector, every AI

SAG Mill Sizing & Design 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 SAG Mill Sizing & Design 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 SAG Mill Sizing & Design, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with SAG Mill Sizing & Design. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
