What models does this MCP use for calculations?

The MCP uses the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) and the Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE) to perform its modeling.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

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

How do I calculate sediment trapping efficiency?

You can use the calculate_trapping_requirement capability to find the necessary capture rate to meet your specific sediment reduction targets.

Does this MCP handle both annual and event-based data?

Yes, it includes separate capabilities for calculating annual sediment yield and yield produced during specific storm events.

Is there a way to see where erosion is coming from?

Yes, the evaluate_erosion_sources capability allows you to distinguish between upslope and channel erosion contributions.

What is the difference between the annual and event-based capabilities?

The calculate_annual_yield capability uses USLE for long-term average annual erosion, while calculate_event_yield uses MUSLE for specific storm or erosion events.

How can I determine if a dam is sufficient for my target?

You can use calculate_trapping_requirement to find the exact fraction of sediment that must be intercepted to reach your desired target yield.

Can I analyze where sediment is coming from?

Yes, the evaluate_erosion_sources capability allows you to determine the ratio between upslope erosion and channel erosion.

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.

Curated set · 5 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 02

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 5 available through Sediment Yield Estimator.

01
Calculate annual yield
This capability calculates the total expected sediment yield for a specific catchment over a year.
02
Calculate event yield
Use this to find the amount of sediment produced during a single storm or specific erosion event.
03
Calculate sediment concentration
This capability determines the density of sediment found within runoff water.

Capability set02 / 02

04-05

2 capabilities in this set.

Part of 5 available through Sediment Yield Estimator.

04
Calculate trapping requirement
This capability calculates the amount of sediment capture needed to reach a defined target.
05
Evaluate erosion sources
Use this to compare the sediment contributions from upslope erosion against channel erosion.

Real work

What teams actually run

Watershed Management

Calculate annual sediment loads to monitor long term watershed health.

Storm Impact Assessment

Estimate how much sediment a single heavy rain event will move through a system.

Erosion Control Design

Determine the required efficiency for sediment basins or traps.

Source Identification

Compare upslope and channel erosion to decide where to implement mitigation.

One connector, every AI

Sediment Yield Estimator 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 Sediment Yield Estimator 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 Sediment Yield Estimator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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