# Barrel Filling Logistics AI Agent Connect

## Description

Managing a wine cellar involves constant adjustments to volume, container availability, and floor space. This MCP takes those variables and turns them into a clear plan. Instead of manually checking barrel ages or calculating fill levels, you can ask your AI client to handle the heavy lifting. You can determine exactly how many resources are required for a specific volume, select barrels that respect your lot segregation requirements, and generate a daily schedule for your cellar team. It also acts as a safeguard by checking your planned volume against your actual cellar layout to prevent overfilling or overcrowding. It's built to keep your distribution and filling processes organized without the manual spreadsheet work.

## Tools

### calculate_filling_requirements
This tool calculates the specific resources you need to complete a planned filling operation.

### generate_filling_schedule

### optimize_barrel_selection
This tool picks the best barrels from your current inventory based on volume needs and lot segregation rules.

### validate_cellar_capacity
This tool checks if your planned wine volume actually fits within your current cellar layout.

## Prompt Examples
