# Clay Reclaim Yield Estimator AI Agent Connect

> Clay Reclaim Yield Estimator helps you manage the circular economy of your ceramic production. It gives your AI agent the ability to calculate usable material from scrap, determine how much fresh clay you need to hit production targets, and analyze the exact ratios for your batches based on moisture loss and contamination levels.

## Description

Managing clay recycling in a ceramic studio or industrial plant is a constant balancing act. You have to account for moisture loss and contamination every time you reclaim scrap, which makes it hard to know exactly how much usable material you actually have on hand. This MCP changes that by giving your AI client the math tools to handle these variables instantly.

You can use it to figure out if your current scrap pile is enough to meet a specific production run without buying more material. If you are short, the MCP calculates exactly how much fresh clay you need to add to hit your target weight. It also breaks down the composition of your batches, so you know the precise ratio of recycled to fresh material you are putting into the kiln. Instead of guessing your yields, you get hard numbers that keep your production predictable and your material waste low.

## Tools

### validate_production_feasibility
Checks if your current scrap supply can meet a production target without needing any fresh clay.

### calculate_required_fresh_clay
Determines the exact amount of new clay required to supplement reclaimed material to reach a specific goal.

### estimate_batch_composition
Provides a breakdown of target batch ratios, specifically the balance between recycled and fresh material.

### get_reclaimed_yield
Calculates the total usable mass of clay you can extract from a specific weight of scrap.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How much usable clay can I get from 500kg of scrap with 5% moisture loss and 2% contamination?
```

**Response:** 
```
You can extract 465kg of usable reclaimed clay.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have 400kg of reclaimed clay. How much fresh clay do I need to reach a 500kg batch?
```

**Response:** 
```
You need to add 100kg of fresh clay to reach the 500kg target.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is 300kg of scrap enough for a 250kg batch if there is 10% moisture loss and 5% contamination?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the reclaimed yield is 255kg, which is sufficient for the 250kg target.
```

## Capabilities

### Yield Calculation
Your agent calculates usable clay mass by factoring in moisture and contamination.

### Material Planning
The AI determines the necessary fresh clay additions to meet specific production weights.

### Batch Analysis
Your agent provides the ratio of recycled to fresh material for any given batch.

### Supply Verification
The AI checks if existing scrap supplies are sufficient for upcoming production runs.

## Use Cases

### Scrap Recovery
Calculate exactly how much usable material you'll get from a pile of scrap after accounting for loss.

### Production Planning
Determine if you can complete a production run using only reclaimed material.

### Inventory Management
Plan how much fresh clay to order based on your current reclaimed yield projections.

### Batch Consistency
Maintain specific material ratios by calculating the mix of fresh and recycled clay.

## Benefits

- Reduces material waste by calculating exact usable yields.
- Eliminates guesswork in fresh clay procurement.
- Provides precise batch ratios for consistent material quality.
- Automates the math for moisture and contamination adjustments.

## How It Works

Connect your AI client to Vinkius and start running calculations immediately.

1. Connect your preferred MCP-compatible client to Vinkius.
2. Provide your scrap weight, moisture loss, and contamination levels to your AI agent.
3. The agent uses the MCP tools to run the math.
4. Receive precise yield, addition, or composition data instantly.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What factors affect the clay yield calculation?**
The calculation accounts for the initial scrap weight, the percentage of moisture loss, and the level of contamination.

**Can I use this to plan my clay orders?**
Yes. You can use the tool to calculate exactly how much fresh clay is needed to supplement your reclaimed material to hit a target weight.

**Which AI clients can use this MCP?**
This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

**Does this MCP help with batch consistency?**
Yes. It can provide a full breakdown of the ratio between recycled and fresh material for any target batch.

**How do I know if my scrap is enough for a job?**
You can use the feasibility tool to check if your current scrap supply meets your production target without adding fresh clay.

**How does the tool account for material loss?**
The `get_reclaimed_yield` tool subtracts both the weight lost to moisture evaporation and the weight lost to contamination from the original scrap weight.

**Can I check if my current scrap is enough for a batch?**
Yes, you can use `validate_production_feasibility` to determine if your available scrap meets the target batch size without needing fresh clay.

**What information is needed to calculate fresh clay requirements?**
To use `calculate_required_fresh_clay`, you need the weight of the usable reclaimed yield and the desired total target batch size.
