mat-foundation-design MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Engineering tool for mat foundation thickness, reinforcement, and settlement calculations.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing mat foundations. It allows AI agents to perform critical structural calculations including analyze_foundation_geometry to verify layout feasibility, calculate_mat_thickness for slab depth requirements, estimate_settlement to predict vertical soil movement, and design_reinforcement to determine steel patterns. The tool accounts for soil-structure interaction and edge effects to ensure structural integrity.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

analyze_foundation_geometry

Validate the physical feasibility of the foundation dimensions and column layout

calculate_mat_thickness

Determine the required slab thickness based on structural requirements

design_reinforcement

Generate the required steel reinforcement pattern for the slab

estimate_settlement

Predict the vertical movement of the foundation into the soil

Check if a 10m x 10m mat with a column at (5,5) carrying 500kN is feasible.

The foundation geometry is feasible. The total area is 100 square meters and the load center is at (5, 5).

What is the required thickness for a 15m x 15m mat with 1000kN loads and 30MPa concrete?

The required thickness is 450 mm, and the punching shear check passed.

Estimate the settlement for a 20m x 20m mat on soil with 150kPa capacity and 2000kN total load.

The estimated total settlement is 25 mm and the differential settlement is 8 mm.

You can use the `analyze_foundation_geometry` tool. It checks if the column positions fall within the specified mat dimensions and ensures the total load is non-zero.
