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 Splice Connection.

  1. 01

    Get steel properties

    This capability retrieves material constants for a specific steel grade. Your agent uses it to get accurate physical properties for calculations.

  2. 02

    Design bearing splice

    This capability calculates the requirements for a splice connection designed to transfer axial compression loads. It outputs the necessary dimensions and hardware.

  3. 03

    Design moment splice

    This capability handles the design for connections that must transfer both axial loads and bending moments. It provides the required plate and bolt specifications.

  4. 04

    Validate connection capacity

    This capability checks if an existing splice design is sufficient for a specific set of loads. It verifies the adequacy of plates, bolts, and welds.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

New Column Design

Generate splice requirements for a new steel column under axial compression.

02

Complex Loading Scenarios

Design connections that must withstand both axial loads and bending moments.

03

Design Verification

Check if a proposed plate and bolt configuration can handle a specific load.

04

Material Selection

Retrieve specific constants for steel grades to ensure accurate design math.

One connector, every AI

Steel Splice Connection 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 Splice Connection 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 Steel Splice Connection, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Steel Splice Connection. 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 Splice Connection owners hand off.

This MCP is built for structural engineers working with steel column connections.

  • 01

    Structural Engineer

    Hands off connection design math and capacity checks to the agent.

  • 02

    Civil Engineer

    Uses the capability to validate steel component specifications for infrastructure projects.

  • 03

    Steel Fabricator

    Checks if existing connection designs meet the required load capacities.

FAQ

Questions Steel Splice Connection owners ask.

  • 01

    What kind of loads can this MCP design for?

    It handles axial compression loads through bearing splices and combined axial and bending moment loads through moment splices.

  • 02

    Can I use this to check my existing designs?

    Yes, the validate_connection_capacity capability checks if your existing plates, bolts, and welds meet specific load requirements.

  • 03

    Does it include steel material properties?

    Yes, you can use the get_steel_properties capability to retrieve material constants for various steel grades.

  • 04

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 05

    How do I get the results?

    Your agent will perform the calculations and provide the specific requirements, such as plate width, bolt diameter, or utilization ratios, directly in your chat interface.

  • 06

    What is the difference between bearing and moment splices?

    A bearing splice is designed to transfer axial compression loads, while a moment splice is designed to transfer both axial loads and bending moments.

  • 07

    How can I check if my current design is safe?

    You can use the validate_connection_capacity capability by providing the applied loads and the dimensions of your plates, bolts, and welds.

  • 08

    Which steel grades are supported?

    The capability supports standard grades such as S235, S275, S355, and ASTM A36 via the get_steel_properties capability.
