# Collision Detection Primitives MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect

> Collision Detection Primitives gives your AI client a specialized engine for high-precision 3D geometric intersection testing. It handles the heavy lifting for spheres, AABBs, rays, and planes. Instead of making your agent guess at spatial logic, this Connector provides exact results for penetration depth, hit points, and impact timings. It's a must-have for anyone building 3D environments, physics systems, or spatial reasoning tools.

## Description

Collision Detection Primitives lets you offload complex 3D geometry math to your AI client. If you're building a game, a robotics simulation, or a VR environment, you know how tedious it is to write and debug intersection logic for every different shape. This Connector handles those calculations for you. You can ask your agent to figure out if two spheres are overlapping, find exactly where a ray hits a bounding box, or check if an object is staying within specific boundaries. It uses standard methods like the slab method for AABBs, so the results are reliable and precise. You don't have to worry about the underlying trigonometry or edge cases. By connecting this through the Vinkius catalog, you give your agent the ability to reason about 3D space with mathematical certainty. It turns a vague request like "is the player hitting the wall" into a specific calculation that returns the exact hit point and time of impact. You get to focus on the high-level logic of your project while the Connector handles the spatial math. This means fewer bugs in your physics engine and faster iteration on your 3D scenes. You can build more complex interactions without getting bogged down in the math that usually slows down the creative process. It makes handling spatial data a lot less of a headache for anyone working in a 3D space.

## Tools

### boundary_inclusion
Check if a sphere is inside a specific set of bounds. This is great for keeping objects in a safe area.

### box_collision
Determine if a sphere and an axis-aligned bounding box are intersecting. Use this for basic collision checks in 3D scenes.

### ray_intersection
Calculate hit points and impact times for a ray hitting an AABB. This is perfect for ray casting or visibility checks.

### spherical_collision
Find the overlap and penetration depth between two spheres. This gives you the exact contact data for physics math.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Are these two spheres hitting each other? Sphere A is at 0,0,0 with a radius of 5. Sphere B is at 8,0,0 with a radius of 4.
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the spheres are intersecting. Here are the details:

* **Penetration Depth:** 1.0
* **Contact Point:** (5, 0, 0)

They are overlapping by exactly 1 unit.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if a ray starting at -5,0,0 pointing towards 1,0,0 hits a box from -1,-1,-1 to 1,1,1.
```

**Response:** 
```
The ray hits the box.

* **Hit Point:** (-1, 0, 0)
* **Time of Impact:** 4.0

The ray successfully intersects the AABB at the specified coordinates.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a sphere at 0,0,0 with a radius of 1 inside a box that goes from -2,-2,-2 to 2,2,2?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the sphere is entirely contained within the box boundaries. It doesn't touch any of the edges.
```

## Capabilities

### Calculate sphere overlaps
Find if two spheres hit and get the penetration depth.

### Detect box collisions
Determine if a sphere is hitting an axis-aligned bounding box.

### Perform ray casting
Get hit points and impact times for rays hitting boxes.

## Use Cases

### Game Physics
A dev asks the agent to check if a projectile hits a wall. The agent uses ray_intersection to find the exact point of impact.

### VR Safety
A developer needs to ensure a user's hand is inside a safe zone. The agent uses boundary_inclusion to check the sphere's position.

### Robotics Pathing
An engineer wants to know if a robot will hit a box. The agent uses box_collision to verify the path.

### 3D Rendering
A developer needs to know if two spheres are overlapping for a lighting effect. The agent uses spherical_collision to get the depth.
