## Description

Stop guessing if you packed enough for your ride. This MCP acts as a decision support tool for cyclists who need to sync their gear with real-world conditions. You can give your AI client a list of what you have in your bag, and it will cross-reference that against the current temperature, precipitation, and light levels. It identifies if you're missing essentials like lights for a dark morning or a waterproof jacket for a sudden downpour. Beyond gear, it handles the math for your trip. You can provide your destination and speed to find your latest possible departure time. It's a quick way to ensure your commute is safe and on schedule without manual checking.
