## Description

When you are working or playing in freezing temperatures, guessing your safety window isn't an option. This MCP uses physiological heat balance models to give you hard numbers on how long you can stay outside before injury occurs. You can check how specific wind speeds or temperature drops change your risk profile in real-time. If you're planning a trip, you can test different clothing setups to see how much extra insulation actually buys you in terms of safe exposure time. It's a practical way to turn environmental data into actionable safety limits for your extremities and your core temperature.

## Tools

### calculate_frostbite_risk
This tool estimates the risk of frostbite for specific body parts like fingers or ears.

### calculate_hypothermia_risk
This tool calculates hypothermia risk by analyzing environmental factors and physiological data.

### compare_clothing_scenarios
This tool compares how different levels of clothing insulation change your safety profile.

### get_exposure_limit_recommendation
This tool provides a conservative recommendation for your maximum safe exposure time.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is my hypothermia risk if it is -10°C with 5 m/s wind, wearing 1.5 clo, and I've been out for 30 minutes at a normal activity level?
```

**Response:** 
```
Your hypothermia risk score is 0.45, with an estimated core temperature of 36.2°C. Your recommended maximum exposure is 120 minutes.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How long until I get frostbite on my fingers at -15°C with 10 m/s wind and 0.5 clo insulation?
```

**Response:** 
```
Frostbite on your fingers is estimated to occur in 12 minutes, which is an Extreme risk level.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What happens to my safety limit if I add 1.0 clo of insulation at -5°C and 2 m/s wind?
```

**Response:** 
```
Adding 1.0 clo of insulation will reduce your risk by 35% and increase your safe exposure time from 45 minutes to 75 minutes.
```

## Capabilities

### Frostbite Estimation
Your agent uses this to predict injury timing for specific extremities.

### Hypothermia Monitoring
Your agent uses this to track core temperature drops based on environmental conditions.

### Insulation Comparison
Your agent uses this to model how adding layers changes your safety window.

### Exposure Limits
Your agent uses this to provide specific time limits for staying outdoors.

## Use Cases

### Pre-trip Gear Planning
Test different clothing layers to see which setup provides the longest safe exposure time.

### Real-time Field Monitoring
Check current hypothermia risk as wind speeds and temperatures change during a task.

### Safety Protocol Development
Establish conservative exposure limits for teams working in extreme cold.

### Extremity Protection
Determine how quickly frostbite might occur on fingers or ears in specific wind conditions.

## Benefits

- Uses heat balance models instead of simple weather charts.
- Provides specific time-to-injury estimates for extremities.
- Models the impact of clothing insulation on safety windows.
- Calculates risk based on wind chill and physiological factors.

## How It Works

Connect the MCP to your client and start asking about thermal risks.

1. Connect the MCP to Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf via Vinkius.
2. Provide environmental data like temperature, wind speed, and insulation levels.
3. The agent runs the data through heat balance and wind chill models.
4. You receive specific risk scores and time-to-injury estimates.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this MCP calculate risk?**
It uses heat balance models and wind chill factors to determine physiological risks like hypothermia and frostbite.

**Can I check risk for specific body parts?**
Yes, you can use the frostbite tool to estimate how long it takes for specific extremities like fingers or ears to reach injury levels.

**Does clothing insulation matter in these calculations?**
Yes, you can use the comparison tool to see exactly how adding insulation changes your safety profile and exposure limits.

**What clients can I use this with?**
You can use this MCP with any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

**Is this for general weather forecasting?**
No, this is specifically for calculating physiological safety risks and exposure limits in cold environments.

**How accurate are these risk assessments?**
The assessments use standard physiological heat balance models and wind chill formulas to provide estimates for safety planning.

**How does activity level affect the results?**
Higher activity levels increase metabolic heat production, which can mitigate some risks, but the tool accounts for this in all calculations.
