## Description

This MCP server provides professional-grade thermal guidance for tempering chocolate. It calculates exact temperature targets for melting, cooling, and working stages based on chocolate type. Use `calculate_tempering_targets` to find ideal temperatures, `calculate_cooling_duration` to estimate time based on mass and ambient conditions, and `get_crystallization_profile` to determine required hold times for stable Form V beta crystal formation.

## Tools

### calculate_tempering_targets
Determines the specific temperature targets for every stage of the tempering process based on the chocolate type

### calculate_cooling_duration
Estimates how long it will take for a specific mass of chocolate to cool from the melting stage to the cooling stage

### get_crystallization_profile
Provides the expected state of beta crystals and holding times required at each temperature stage

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the tempering temperatures for dark chocolate in a 22°C room?
```

**Response:** 
```
For dark chocolate at 22°C, the melting target is 45-50°C, the cooling target is 27-28°C, and the working target is 31-32°C.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How long will it take to cool 500g of chocolate from 45°C to 27°C if the room is 20°C?
```

**Response:** 
```
It will take approximately 15 minutes to cool 500g of chocolate under those conditions.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the crystallization profile for seeding method with milk chocolate?
```

**Response:** 
```
For milk chocolate using the seeding method, you should hold at melting for 5 minutes, cooling for 10 minutes, and working for 5 minutes to achieve stable beta crystals.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I know if my chocolate is tempered?**
You can use `get_crystallization_profile` to check the expected stability of Form V beta crystals for your specific method.

**Can I use this for white chocolate?**
Yes, `calculate_tempering_targets` includes specific thermal profiles for white, milk, dark, and ruby chocolate.

**What happens if I exceed 55°C?**
Exceeding 55°C can destroy the cocoa butter structure, making stable tempering impossible. The `calculate_tempering_targets` tool will flag unsafe temperatures.
