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 Stair Builder Calculator.

  1. 01

    Check clearance and headroom

    Use this to validate vertical headroom clearance. It ensures the space above the stairs meets safety standards.

  2. 02

    Validate landing requirements

    This capability checks if your staircase layout complies with landing requirements. It flags when a landing is necessary due to the total run.

  3. 03

    Calculate stair geometry

    This capability calculates the primary dimensions and structural requirements for your staircase. It determines riser heights, tread depths, and total run lengths.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

New Build Planning

Calculate exact riser and tread counts for a new residential staircase.

02

Remodel Verification

Check if a proposed stair modification will maintain enough headroom clearance.

03

Code Auditing

Verify if a long straight run requires a landing to meet safety codes.

04

Material Estimation

Determine total run lengths to plan out floor space requirements.

One connector, every AI

Stair Builder 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.

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 Stair Builder Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Stair Builder 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 Stair Builder Calculator owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals in the construction and residential design industries who need to verify stair geometry against building codes.

  • 01

    Carpenters

    They use the AI to double-check their cuts and layout math before installation.

  • 02

    Architects

    They hand off rough dimensions to the AI to ensure the design meets IBC standards.

  • 03

    Building Inspectors

    They use the capability to verify if a proposed staircase layout will pass inspection.

FAQ

Questions Stair Builder Calculator owners ask.

  • 01

    What building codes does this MCP follow?

    The MCP uses strict IRC and IBC building codes for all stair design calculations.

  • 02

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

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

  • 03

    Does it check for headroom clearance?

    Yes, it includes a specific capability to validate vertical headroom to ensure safety.

  • 04

    How does it handle landings?

    The MCP validates landing requirements to see if your staircase layout needs one based on the total run.

  • 05

    Do I need to host this myself?

    No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use once you connect.

  • 06

    How does the capability ensure building code compliance?

    The capability uses calculate_stair_geometry to check dimensions against IRC/IBC limits, such as maximum riser height and the stride rule.

  • 07

    Can I check if my stairs have enough headroom?

    Yes, by using the check_clearance_and_headroom capability, you can validate vertical clearance against the minimum 6'8" requirement.

  • 08

    What stair types are supported?

    The calculator supports straight, l_shaped, u_shaped, and spiral stair configurations.
