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 · 3 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Snow Load Calculator.

  1. 01

    Get ground snow load

    This capability retrieves the base ground snow load ($p_g$) for any specific US state or territory.

  2. 02

    Calculate roof snow impact

    This capability calculates the final roof snow load ($p_s$) and compares it to the building's dead load to determine structural risk.

  3. 03

    Get environmental coefficients

    This capability determines the required multipliers, including the Exposure Factor ($C_e$), Thermal Factor ($C_t$), and Importance Factor ($I_s$).

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Preliminary Roof Design

An engineer uses the capability to estimate snow loads during the early stages of a project.

02

Safety Verification

A designer checks if a proposed roof can handle the calculated snow load compared to its dead load.

03

Site-specific Analysis

The AI pulls specific ground snow loads for a project located in a high-snow territory.

04

Coefficient Determination

A user quickly finds the Ce, Ct, and Is values for specific environmental conditions.

One connector, every AI

Snow Load Calculator 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 Snow Load Calculator 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. 3 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 Snow Load Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Snow Load Calculator. 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 Snow Load Calculator owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals working in structural design and construction safety.

  • 01

    Structural Engineers

    They hand off the repetitive coefficient math and state data lookups to the AI.

  • 02

    Architects

    They use the capability to perform quick preliminary checks on roof load requirements.

  • 03

    Building Inspectors

    They use the calculations to verify if a design meets safety standards.

FAQ

Questions Snow Load Calculator owners ask.

  • 01

    What can this MCP calculate?

    It calculates the design snow load for roof structures, including environmental multipliers and risk assessments against dead loads.

  • 02

    Which clients can I use with this MCP?

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

  • 03

    Does it cover all US states?

    Yes, the capability can retrieve base ground snow loads for various US states and territories.

  • 04

    How does it handle structural risk?

    It uses the calculate_roof_snow_impact capability to compare the final snow load against the building's dead load.

  • 05

    Do I need to host the MCP myself?

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

  • 06

    How do I find the ground snow load for my location?

    Use the get_ground_snow_load capability and provide the exact name of your US state or territory (e.g., 'New York').

  • 07

    What factors are included in the calculation?

    The calculation incorporates the Exposure Factor ($C_e$), Thermal Factor ($C_t$), and Importance Factor ($I_s$) to adjust the base ground snow load.

  • 08

    How is structural risk assessed?

    The calculate_roof_snow_impact capability compares the calculated snow load against the typical dead load of the structure to provide a risk assessment.
