## Description

This MCP server provides essential tools for soil fertility analysis. Use `calculate_soil_capacity` to determine total Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), base saturation, and Exchangeable Sodium Percentage (ESP). You can also use `evaluate_sodicity_remediation` to estimate gypsum requirements for managing sodic soils, or `analyze_nutrient_balance` to check the ratios of Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium.

## Tools

### calculate_soil_capacity
Calculate the primary CEC and base saturation metrics

### evaluate_sodicity_remediation
Determine the necessary gypsum application to mitigate sodicity

### get_mineralogy_factor
Retrieve the specific CEC contribution factor for a given clay type

### analyze_nutrient_balance
Assess the ratio of major cations to check for nutrient imbalances

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the CEC for a soil with 20% clay (smectite), 3% organic matter, 5 meq/100g Ca, 2 meq/100g Mg, 1 meq/100g K, and 0.5 meq/100g Na.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total CEC is 12.5 meq/100g, with a base saturation of 68% and an ESP of 4%. The sodicity risk is Low.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the gypsum requirement for a loamy soil with an ESP of 15%?
```

**Response:** 
```
The estimated gypsum requirement for this loamy soil is 4.2 tons per hectare.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check the nutrient balance for 10 meq/100g Ca, 2 meq/100g Mg, and 1 meq/100g K.
```

**Response:** 
```
The Ca/Mg ratio is 5.0 and the Mg/K ratio is 2.0. The status is Balanced.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC)?**
CEC is the total capacity of a soil to hold exchangeable cations, which is a key indicator of soil fertility and nutrient retention.

**How can I calculate gypsum requirements?**
You can use the `evaluate_sodicity_remediation` tool by providing the current ESP and the soil texture to estimate the necessary gypsum application.

**Can I check for nutrient imbalances?**
Yes, the `analyze_nutrient_balance` tool assesses the ratios of Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium to identify potential imbalances.
