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.

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.
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.
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.
01-04
4 capabilities in this set.
Part of 4 available through Vacuum Distillation Design.
- 01
Analyze flash zone
This capability evaluates the thermodynamic conditions exactly where the feed enters the column.
- 02
Calculate column geometry
Use this to find the physical diameter required to handle specific vapor loads.
- 03
Estimate separation stages
This capability calculates the number of theoretical stages needed to meet your product specifications.
- 04
Predict product yields
This capability predicts how mass will distribute between VGO and vacuum residue.
Real work
What teams actually run
Initial Column Sizing
Determine the required diameter for a new VDU based on expected vapor loads.
Yield Optimization
Adjust cut points and vacuum pressures to see how VGO yields change.
Process Validation
Check if a proposed column design has enough stages to meet product specs.
Flash Zone Checks
Verify thermodynamic conditions at the feed entry point for a specific feed temperature.
One connector, every AI
Vacuum Distillation Design 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.

Le ChatBuilding your own app? The connector is yours to use.
You don't need a client to put Vacuum Distillation Design 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 Vacuum Distillation Design, so you can see the experience inside your AI.
It does not authenticate your account with Vacuum Distillation Design. 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 Vacuum Distillation Design owners hand off.
This MCP is built for chemical and petroleum engineers working on refinery design and optimization.
- 01
Process Engineer
They hand off feed rates and pressure targets to the AI to get column dimensions.
- 02
Refinery Designer
They use the capability to iterate on product yields and separation efficiency.
- 03
Chemical Engineer
They rely on the flash zone analysis to check thermodynamic feasibility.
FAQ
Questions Vacuum Distillation Design owners ask.
- 01
What can this MCP calculate for VDU design?
It calculates column diameter, separation stages, flash zone thermodynamics, and product yields like VGO and vacuum residue.
- 02
Which AI clients can use this VDU Designer?
Any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf can use this capability.
- 03
Do I need to host the MCP myself?
No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use immediately after connection.
- 04
Can I use this to predict VGO yields?
Yes, the predict_product_yields capability calculates the mass distribution between VGO and vacuum residue.
- 05
How does it handle column sizing?
It uses the calculate_column_geometry capability to determine the physical size needed to handle the vapor load.
- 06
How do I calculate the column diameter?
You can use the calculate_column_geometry capability by providing the residue rate, vacuum pressure, and vapor density.
- 07
Can I predict the VGO yield?
Yes, the predict_product_yields capability calculates the mass distribution between VGO and vacuum residue based on your target cut point.
- 08
How many stages are needed for a specific purity?
Use the estimate_separation_stages capability with the required product purity and relative volatility to find the theoretical and actual stages.
