What can this MCP do for my mining operation?

It calculates optimal truck-to-shovel ratios, estimates required fleet sizes, and simulates how queuing affects your shovel productivity.

Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

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

How does it handle truck bunching?

The simulate_queuing_and_bunching capability models the impact of irregular truck arrivals on your shovel productivity.

Do I need to host the MCP myself?

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

Can I use this to plan for specific production targets?

Yes, you can use the estimate_required_fleet_size capability to find the number of trucks needed to hit a specific target.

How do I find the best number of trucks for my shovel?

You can use the get_optimal_truck_ratio capability. Provide the shovel cycle time, truck cycle time, and equipment availability to find the ideal ratio.

Can I predict production delays caused by truck bunching?

Yes, the simulate_queuing_and_bunching capability estimates the impact of irregular truck arrivals on shovel productivity and expected wait times.

How many trucks do I need to hit a specific production target?

Use the estimate_required_fleet_size capability. Input your target production, shovel productivity, and cycle times to get the required truck and shovel counts.

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.

One connector, every AI

Truck-Shovel Optimizer 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 Truck-Shovel Optimizer 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.
