## Description

You can use this MCP to bridge the gap between general AI knowledge and the highly specialized requirements of adaptive surfing. Instead of guessing which board modifications might work, you can rely on specific logic to determine buoyancy needs, traction requirements, and necessary assistive devices. Whether you are designing a setup for someone with mobility impairments or sensory needs, this MCP provides the technical details required to make the gear functional and safe. It handles the heavy lifting of calculating board adaptations and checking them against safety guidelines, so your agent can focus on providing clear, actionable advice to surfers and instructors.

## Tools

### verify_safety_compliance
This tool checks if a proposed equipment setup meets standard adaptive surfing safety guidelines.

### calculate_board_adaptations
This tool determines the specific physical changes needed for a surfboard to accommodate a user's needs.

### identify_assistive_devices
This tool suggests external tools that can supplement a surfboard for better accessibility.

### get_equipment_recommendations
This tool provides a list of recommended equipment modifications based on a user's specific profile.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I have a mobility impairment and want to achieve independent performance. What equipment do I need?
```

**Response:** 
```
For independent performance with mobility impairments, we recommend increased board volume for stability, high-traction deck pads, and specialized mounting systems for seating.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What board adaptations are needed for someone with low core stability?
```

**Response:** 
```
To compensate for low core stability, you should use a board with increased volume and widened rails to maximize buoyancy and equilibrium.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Suggest some assistive devices for a surfer with sensory impairments aiming for assisted entry.
```

**Response:** 
```
For assisted entry with sensory impairments, we suggest using specialized flotation vests and high-visibility markers on the board.
```

## Capabilities

### Board Modification Logic
Your agent uses this to figure out how to change a board's shape or volume for better stability.

### Safety Verification
The AI checks proposed gear setups against established safety standards for different disabilities.

### Assistive Tool Selection
Your agent identifies external devices that work alongside a surfboard to help a surfer.

### Profile Based Recommendations
The MCP generates specific equipment lists based on a user's physical profile and goals.

## Use Cases

### Custom Board Design
An instructor uses the MCP to determine how much volume to add to a board for a student with low core stability.

### Safety Auditing
A designer checks a new equipment setup against safety compliance tools before recommending it.

### Student Onboarding
An adaptive coach uses the profile-based recommendations to build a gear list for a new surfer.

### Assistive Gear Planning
A user identifies necessary flotation vests or high-visibility markers for surfers with sensory impairments.

## Benefits

- Reduces guesswork in calculating board buoyancy and rail width.
- Ensures gear setups meet safety guidelines for various disability categories.
- Provides specific lists of assistive devices to supplement standard surfboards.
- Connects your AI client to specialized adaptive surfing expertise.

## How It Works

You connect the MCP to your client and start asking technical questions about adaptive gear.

1. Connect your MCP-compatible client to Vinkius.
2. Provide the user's physical profile or specific disability details to your AI agent.
3. The agent calls the necessary tools to calculate adaptations or check safety.
4. Your agent delivers specific equipment lists and modification advice.
