Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more

The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.

This connection provides 4 powerful capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other compatible AI platforms. No middleware. No custom integration required.

The Geometry Headache of Facade Design, Solved with Vinkius AI Gateway

Right now, figuring out the right size for shading devices means pulling up complex solar charts and running geometry calculations by hand. You check noon sun, then maybe you check sunset, but it's a huge manual process involving multiple tabs, copy-pasting coordinates, and cross-referencing physical formulas to ensure you account for every angle.

With this MCP, those painful steps vanish. You tell your agent the location and time; it handles the sun geometry instantly. Then, with simple inputs, you get back a definitive measurement—the exact depth or width needed—and an immediate compliance report.

Precision Shading Dimensions: Use `calculate_horizontal_depth`

Manual calculation forces you to pick one critical angle, like the design cutoff. If your actual sun path changes even slightly in the afternoon, that single dimension fails. You're stuck recalculating every time a minor change occurs.

Now, `calculate_horizontal_depth` takes the solar position into account and computes the minimum projection depth required to satisfy your target angle across various conditions. It gives you one reliable number.

What your AI can actually do with this

Designing a facade that blocks too much heat or lets in too little light is a constant headache. This MCP handles the physics and math behind solar shading devices. Instead of guessing dimensions, you calculate exactly what you need: the depth for horizontal louvers, or the width for vertical fins.

The process starts by pinpointing the sun's exact altitude and azimuth at any location and time using your AI client. Then, you input that data to figure out the precise minimum projection needed to block unwanted sunlight. You can also run a check against an existing design to see if it actually complies with local building codes or target angles.

Vinkius puts this powerful tool right in your catalog so your agent has access immediately, no setup required.

Questions you might have

How do I find the sun's angle for my project using get_solar_position? +

You provide your AI client with the latitude, date, and time. The tool returns the specific solar altitude and azimuth angles needed to start all subsequent calculations.

What is the difference between calculate_horizontal_depth and calculate_vertical_width? +

Horizontal depth measures how far out a louver needs to project. Vertical width determines the required minimum side-to-side size of vertical fins for shading.

Can I use validate_compliance if my building is new? +

Yes, you can. While it's often used for retrofits, validate_compliance checks your proposed dimensions against any specified target angle or code requirements, regardless of the building's age.

Do I need to run get_solar_position before calculating depth? +

Yes. The calculation tools require precise solar data (altitude and azimuth) as an input. Running get_solar_position first provides that essential, accurate starting point.

What happens if I run `get_solar_position` with invalid latitude or longitude? +

The tool returns a specific error code and message. It won't crash; instead, it stops the calculation immediately so you know exactly which input parameter failed.

Do I need to run `get_solar_position` before running `validate_compliance`? +

No, you don't have to. You provide all necessary geometry and target angles directly to the tool. The system handles checking that data against its internal solar models.

What units does `calculate_horizontal_depth` return? +

The output is always returned in meters, representing the minimum required physical depth. This keeps the calculation consistent regardless of what unit system you use for inputs.

Does `calculate_vertical_width` account for seasonal changes? +

It calculates the width based on the parameters you provide. You must input the precise solar altitude and azimuth for the specific season or time period you are designing for.

What does the calculator determine? +

It calculates the minimum depth for horizontal louvers and the maximum width for vertical fins needed to block sunlight based on solar trigonometry.

How do I use the compliance tool? +

Use validate_compliance by providing your current device dimensions, solar position, and target cutoff angle to check if the shading is effective.

What inputs are required for solar position? +

You need the latitude of the site, the day of the year, and the time of day in HH:mm format.
