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 · 4 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Steel Plate Girder Designer.

  1. 01

    Calculate weld requirements

    This capability calculates the necessary weld size to connect the web to the flanges.

  2. 02

    Calculate web stability

    Use this to find out if the web needs stiffeners and exactly how much spacing is required between them.

  3. 03

    Calculate girder geometry

    This capability determines the basic web and flange dimensions based on your specific span and loading requirements.

  4. 04

    Validate fatigue life

    This capability checks if your girder design meets safety standards for repetitive loading.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Initial Girder Sizing

Input span and load to get the first set of web and flange dimensions.

02

Stability Verification

Check if a specific web thickness and height can support the load without stiffeners.

03

Weld Specification

Determine the exact fillet weld size needed for a specific flange and web combination.

04

Fatigue Compliance

Ensure a designed girder is safe for applications involving repetitive loading.

One connector, every AI

Steel Plate Girder Designer 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Steel Plate Girder Designer, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Steel Plate Girder Designer. 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 Steel Plate Girder Designer owners hand off.

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

  • 01

    Structural Engineer

    Hands off loading and span data to the agent to get rapid geometry and stability results.

  • 02

    Steel Fabricator

    Uses the agent to verify weld requirements and component dimensions for production.

  • 03

    Civil Engineer

    Checks girder fatigue life and stability requirements during the preliminary design phase.

FAQ

Questions Steel Plate Girder Designer owners ask.

  • 01

    What can this MCP calculate for steel girders?

    It calculates web and flange dimensions, web stability (including stiffener spacing), weld sizes, and fatigue life safety.

  • 02

    How do I use this with my AI client?

    You connect the MCP once through Vinkius, and then you can simply ask your agent to perform calculations using the provided capabilities.

  • 03

    Does it handle different steel grades?

    Yes, you can specify steel types like S355 in your prompts to influence the geometry and fatigue calculations.

  • 04

    Can it tell me if I need stiffeners?

    Yes, the web stability capability specifically determines if stiffeners are required and provides the necessary spacing.

  • 05

    Is this for welded or rolled sections?

    This MCP is specifically designed for welded plate girders.

  • 06

    What can I design with this capability?

    You can design welded plate girders by calculating web height, flange width, stiffener spacing, and weld requirements.

  • 07

    How does the capability handle web buckling?

    The calculate_web_stability capability checks if the web slenderness requires vertical stiffeners to prevent buckling.

  • 08

    Does it account for material properties?

    Yes, you must provide the steel grade (such as S235 or S355) to ensure accurate strength and fatigue calculations.
