Steel Beam Design Pro MCP Connector for Claude

Professional AISC LRFD steel beam design for bending, shear, and deflection.

5 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides a complete engineering workflow for designing steel beams using the AISC LRFD methodology. It allows AI agents to perform structural calculations including determining the calculate_required_modulus for bending, evaluating check_lateral_stability to account for lateral-torsional buckling, and using select_beam_section to find the optimal profile. The toolset also includes verify_serviceability for deflection checks and calculate_shear_capacity to ensure vertical load integrity. It is designed to bridge the gap between structural requirements and precise steel section selection.

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

calculate_required_modulus

Determines the minimum section modulus needed to resist the applied bending moment

calculate_shear_capacity

Confirms the selected beam can safely handle the vertical shear forces

check_lateral_stability

Evaluates if the beam is susceptible to lateral-torsional buckling based on support conditions

select_beam_section

Identifies a specific steel profile from the catalog that satisfies both strength and stability requirements

verify_serviceability

Checks if the selected beam meets the maximum allowable deflection limits

Design a steel beam with a 6m span and a 15 kN/m load using Grade 50 steel.

The required section modulus is 450 cm³, and the selected beam is W12x26, which satisfies all strength and deflection requirements.

Check the stability of a beam with a 5m span and 1m lateral support spacing.

The beam is fully braced with a buckling capacity reduction factor of 1.0.

Will a W16x31 beam pass deflection limits for a 10m span with a 10 kN/m load and a limit of L/360?

Yes, the calculated deflection is 22mm, which is within the 27.7mm limit.

The tool follows the AISC LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) specification for structural steel design.
