# Assistive Equipment Selection Brief AI Agent Connect

> Assistive Equipment Selection Brief MCP helps you evaluate, test, and acquire assistive technology. It connects your AI client to specialized tools that analyze equipment fit, draft vendor questions, structure real-world trials, and map out the logistics for purchasing or leasing mobility aids and other essential devices.

## Description

You can use this MCP to take the guesswork out of selecting assistive technology. Instead of manually checking specs against a user's home layout or physical requirements, you let your AI client handle the heavy lifting. You can run an analyze_fit operation to see if a specific wheelchair or walker actually works within a user's specific doorway widths or mobility constraints. Once you find a candidate, you can generate_vendor_inquiry to get the technical answers you need before buying. The MCP also helps you move from theory to reality by using create_trial_plan to set up a structured testing period in the user's actual environment. When you are ready to move forward, plan_acquisition handles the logistical steps for the final purchase or lease. It turns a complex clinical decision into a structured, data-driven process.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if this wheelchair fits my needs.
```

**Response:** 
```
The wheelchair meets your requirement for portability and fits through your 30-inch doorway.
```

**Prompt:**
