Which standards does this MCP support?

This MCP supports AISC and EN 1090 regulatory standards for steel fabrication.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

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

How does it handle different steel shapes?

The MCP includes a capability to look up default base dimensions and scaling factors for common steel shapes.

Can the AI tell me if a part is out of spec?

Yes, you can use the validation capability to check if measured deviations exceed the allowed limits.

Do I need to host the MCP myself?

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

Which standards are supported?

The server supports AISC (American Institute of Steel Construction) and EN 1090 (Eurocode) standards.

How do I check if a part is within tolerance?

You can use the validate_component_fit capability by providing the target tolerances and the actual measured values.

Does it handle bolted connections?

Yes, for bolted connections, the capability provides a specific holePositionTolerance to ensure assembly alignment.

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 Steel Fabrication Tolerance.

01
Lookup section defaults
This capability provides the standard base dimensions and scaling factors for common steel shapes.
02
Calculate member tolerances
This capability calculates the specific set of acceptable fabrication tolerances for a given steel component.
03
Get code guidelines
This capability retrieves the high level tolerance philosophy and general rules for specific regulatory codes.
04
Validate component fit
This capability checks if the measured deviations of a manufactured component stay within acceptable limits.

Real work

What teams actually run

In-Shop Quality Checks

A fabricator measures a beam and asks the AI if the straightness is within the allowed limit.

Design Phase Verification

An engineer checks the default dimensions for a specific steel shape before finalizing a model.

Regulatory Auditing

A user pulls the high level philosophy for EN 1090 to ensure a project follows European standards.

Component Fit Testing

The AI compares measured hole positions to the calculated tolerances to confirm a part will fit during assembly.

One connector, every AI

Steel Fabrication Tolerance 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 Steel Fabrication Tolerance 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 Steel Fabrication Tolerance, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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