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 Shotcrete Design Service.

  1. 01

    Calculate reinforcement requirements

    This capability identifies the specific type and amount of reinforcement required to meet your support needs.

  2. 02

    Determine layer configuration

    This capability suggests the best way to apply shotcrete, such as choosing between single or multi-layer methods.

  3. 03

    Get minimum thickness

    This capability calculates the baseline shotcrete thickness needed based on your rock quality and opening width.

  4. 04

    Validate support design

    This capability runs a final check to confirm your thickness and reinforcement combination hits the safety threshold for the span.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Mining Support Design

Calculate the necessary shotcrete thickness for a new mine drift based on observed rock quality.

02

Tunneling Safety Checks

Verify that a proposed shotcrete and reinforcement design meets the safety threshold for a specific tunnel span.

03

Application Planning

Determine if a thick shotcrete application should be done in one pass or multiple layers.

04

Reinforcement Optimization

Identify if fiber or mesh reinforcement is better suited for a specific design thickness.

One connector, every AI

Shotcrete Design Service 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 Shotcrete Design Service 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.

Connect your client

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 Shotcrete Design Service, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Shotcrete Design Service. 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 Shotcrete Design Service owners hand off.

This MCP is built for geotechnical and structural engineers working in underground environments. They use it to quickly run support design iterations.

  • 01

    Mining Engineer

    Uses the capability to define ground support requirements for new excavations.

  • 02

    Geotechnical Engineer

    Relies on the capability to translate rock mass quality into specific shotcrete thicknesses.

  • 03

    Tunneling Specialist

    Uses the capability to validate that support designs meet safety standards for specific spans.

FAQ

Questions Shotcrete Design Service owners ask.

  • 01

    What can this MCP calculate for ground support?

    It calculates minimum shotcrete thickness, reinforcement requirements, and optimal application layer configurations.

  • 02

    How does the capability determine shotcrete thickness?

    The thickness is determined by analyzing the rock mass quality and the width of the excavation span.

  • 03

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

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

  • 04

    Does the capability check for safety compliance?

    Yes, the validate_support_design capability checks if your thickness and reinforcement meet the required safety threshold for your specific span.

  • 05

    How does it suggest application methods?

    The capability analyzes the total thickness and reinforcement type to suggest whether a single or multi-layer application is best.

  • 06

    How do I determine the required thickness for my excavation?

    You can use the get_minimum_thickness capability by providing the rock condition (e.g., 'Good' or 'Poor') and the span of the excavation in meters.

  • 07

    Does this capability handle mesh reinforcement?

    Yes, the calculate_reinforcement_requirements capability will indicate if mesh is required based on the thickness and support class.

  • 08

    How can I verify if my design is safe?

    Use the validate_support_design capability with your span, thickness, and reinforcement type to receive a safety validation and recommendation.
