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.

Capability set01 / 01

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 4 available through Vessel Design Calculator.

01
Calculate nozzle reinforcement
This capability checks if a vessel opening needs extra material. It determines if reinforcement is required and calculates the necessary area.
02
Calculate head thickness
This capability handles end cap calculations. It finds the required thickness for various vessel head geometries.
03
Calculate shell thickness
This capability calculates the total wall thickness for the cylindrical part of a pressure vessel.
04
Get material properties
This capability pulls allowable stress values. It provides data for specific materials at your required operating temperatures.

Real work

What teams actually run

Initial Design Sizing

Use the MCP to quickly estimate the required thickness for a new cylindrical vessel shell.

Nozzle Integration

Check if a planned nozzle opening requires additional reinforcement based on the shell thickness.

Material Verification

Confirm that the chosen material can handle the operating temperature and pressure.

End Cap Design

Calculate the thickness for different head geometries to ensure they meet pressure requirements.

One connector, every AI

Vessel Design Calculator 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 Vessel Design Calculator 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 Vessel Design Calculator, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Vessel Design Calculator. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
