4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for Semi-Autogenous Grinding (SAG) mill analysis. It allows AI agents to calculate specific energy requirements using calculate_specific_energy, predict mill performance with predict_mill_performance, evaluate the impact of pebble crushing via evaluate_pebble_circuit, and analyze capacity sensitivity through simulate_sizing_impact. It is designed to bridge the gap between ore characteristics and mill performance predictions.

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

calculate_specific_energy

Determines the theoretical energy required per tonne to achieve a specific product size

evaluate_pebble_circuit

Adjusts the throughput and energy efficiency based on the presence of a pebble crushing circuit

predict_mill_performance

Estimates the total power draw and the expected throughput for a given mill configuration

simulate_sizing_impact

Analyzes how changes in the target product size affect the entire circuit's capacity

Calculate the specific energy for an ore with competency 1.5, BWI of 14, and a target size of 200 microns.

The calculated specific energy is 8.45 kWh/t with an energy per size ratio of 0.12.

Predict the performance of a mill with 5m diameter, 10m length, 8.5 kWh/t specific energy, and 5000 kW available power.

The predicted throughput is 588.24 t/h with an estimated power draw of 5000 kW.

What is the impact of a 0.3 pebble recycle ratio and 0.8 crushing efficiency on a base throughput of 500 t/h?

The adjusted throughput is 565.0 t/h with a total circuit energy of 4237.5 kWh/t.

You can use the `calculate_specific_energy` tool by providing the ore competency, Bond Work Index, and the target product size.
