## Description

This MCP server provides specialized physiological analysis for avocado growers and exporters. It connects AI agents to core maturity metrics, allowing for precise harvest timing decisions. Use `calculate_maturity_status` to verify if a fruit meets variety-specific dry matter thresholds, `predict_post_harvest_performance` to estimate shelf life and eating quality, and `determine_market_window` to optimize harvest timing for export or domestic markets.

## Tools

### calculate_maturity_status
Determines if a fruit is physiologically mature based on its dry matter and variety

### determine_market_window
Identifies the optimal harvest timing for different commercial paths

### predict_post_harvest_performance
Estimates how the fruit will behave after being picked, focusing on shelf life and eating quality

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a Hass avocado with 24% dry matter mature?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the Hass avocado is mature as it meets the required dry matter threshold.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the predicted shelf life for a Fuerte avocado with 20% dry matter and 15% oil content?
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted shelf life is 14 days with an eating quality score of 8.5.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is it a good time to harvest for export if I have a Hass avocado with 25% dry matter and a size of 15?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the current maturity is optimal for the export market with low transit risk.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool determine if an avocado is mature?**
The `calculate_maturity_status` tool compares the measured dry matter percentage against specific physiological thresholds for the selected variety, such as Hass or Fuerte.

**Can I predict how long my avocados will last?**
Yes, by using `predict_post_harvest_performance`, you can estimate the predicted shelf life in days and the expected eating quality score.

**Is this suitable for export planning?**
Yes, the `determine_market_window` tool specifically helps identify optimal harvest timing and transit risk for export markets.
