## Description

Stop guessing your coffee measurements. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to perform precise brewing calculations based on professional standards. If you have a specific amount of coffee beans on hand, you can find out exactly how much water to use to hit your target ratio. If you're working with a specific vessel or carafe, you can work backward to find the right amount of coffee. It also handles total yield calculations, so you can plan for a specific amount of finished coffee without running out or having too much left over. You can even pull standard professional presets for espresso or pour over to ensure your recipes stay consistent with industry standards.

## Tools

### get_ratio_presets
Access standard professional brewing ratios. Use this to find established benchmarks for espresso, pour over, and other methods.

### calculate_both_from_total_yield
Determine both coffee mass and water volume. This tool calculates the necessary components to reach a specific target volume of finished coffee.

### calculate_coffee_from_water
Find the required coffee mass. Your agent uses this to determine how many grams of coffee you need based on a specific water volume and ratio.

### calculate_water_from_coffee
Calculate the necessary water volume. This tool tells you how much water to pour based on the weight of your coffee grounds and your target ratio.

## How It Works

Connecting this MCP to your AI client gives your agent immediate access to brewing math tools.

1. Connect the MCP to your client like Claude or Cursor via Vinkius.
2. Tell your AI client your coffee weight, water volume, or target yield.
3. The AI invokes the specific calculation tool from this MCP.
4. Your agent provides the exact measurements for your brew.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I use this MCP with Claude?**
You connect to the MCP through the Vinkius platform. Once connected, you can simply ask Claude to perform coffee calculations using the tools provided.

**Can I use this for espresso brewing?**
Yes. You can use the ratio presets to find professional espresso standards and then calculate the specific weights for your dose.

**Does this MCP handle different brew methods?**
Yes. It includes presets for various methods and allows you to input any custom ratio you prefer.

**What if I only know the total amount of coffee I want to make?**
You can use the tool that calculates both coffee and water from the total yield to get your exact measurements.

**Do I need to install anything on my computer?**
No. Vinkius hosts the MCP, so you only need to connect your client once to start using it.

**How do I use the brew ratios?**
You can use `get_ratio_presets` to see standard ratios, then use those values in the other calculation tools.

**Can I calculate for a specific total amount of coffee?**
Yes, use `calculate_both_from_total_yield` to specify your desired final volume.

**What units are used for measurements?**
Coffee is measured in grams and water is measured in milliliters.
