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 Weld Inspection.

  1. 01

    Calculate inspection spacing

    This capability calculates the maximum allowable spacing for inspection sensors. Use it to plan how far apart sensors should be placed to ensure full coverage.

  2. 02

    Get discontinuity limits

    This capability retrieves the maximum allowable sizes for discontinuities in a specific weld. It uses the relevant engineering standards to set these limits.

  3. 03

    Determine test frequency

    This capability establishes how often a weld needs to be inspected. It helps you set a testing schedule based on the weld's importance and type.

  4. 04

    Validate inspection result

    This capability checks if a detected defect meets acceptance criteria. It compares your findings against AWS D1.1 or ISO 5817 quality levels.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Field Defect Validation

An inspector finds a crack and asks the AI if it meets AWS D1.1 limits for that specific thickness.

02

Inspection Scoping

A manager uses the capability to decide how much of a long weldment requires testing to stay compliant.

03

Sensor Array Planning

An engineer calculates the exact spacing needed for sensors to ensure no part of the weld is missed.

04

Quality Auditing

A QC lead verifies that all recorded discontinuities in a project stay within ISO 5817 limits.

One connector, every AI

Steel Weld Inspection 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 Weld Inspection 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 Weld Inspection, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Steel Weld Inspection. 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 Weld Inspection owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals managing structural steel integrity and quality assurance.

  • 01

    Welding Inspectors

    They hand off NDT findings to the AI to check against code requirements.

  • 02

    Structural Engineers

    They use the capability to plan inspection coverage and spacing for new builds.

  • 03

    Quality Control Managers

    They rely on the engine to ensure all weldments meet specific ISO or AWS standards.

FAQ

Questions Steel Weld Inspection owners ask.

  • 01

    Which welding standards does this MCP support?

    The engine is built around AWS D1.1 and ISO 5817 standards.

  • 02

    Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

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

  • 03

    Does the capability account for material thickness?

    Yes, the engine uses material thickness, weld geometry, and fatigue loading to determine limits and results.

  • 04

    How does it help with inspection planning?

    It provides capabilities to calculate sensor spacing and determine the required frequency of tests for a weldment.

  • 05

    Do I need to host the MCP myself?

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

  • 06

    Which welding standards are supported?

    The engine supports AWS D1.1 (Structural Welding Code - Steel) and ISO 5817 (Quality levels for imperfections).

  • 07

    How does fatigue loading affect the results?

    When isFatigueLoading is enabled, the capability strictly reduces all allowable discontinuity dimensions to prevent crack initiation under cyclic loads.

  • 08

    Can I use this for ultrasonic testing (UT) planning?

    Yes, you can use calculate_inspection_spacing to determine the maximum allowable distance between ultrasonic probes based on material thickness.
