## Description

You can now use your AI client to handle the heavy lifting of comminution circuit design. Instead of manually running calculations for every change in ore hardness or throughput, you can prompt your agent to model different scenarios instantly. This MCP provides the specific engineering logic required to translate ore characteristics into physical equipment requirements. You can start by analyzing a sample to find its grindability, then move directly into determining the most efficient circuit type for your specific throughput targets. Once the configuration is set, the MCP calculates the exact physical dimensions and motor ratings you'll need for the hardware. It also forecasts the electrical power demand, so you aren't caught off guard by energy requirements during the design phase. It's a direct way to turn ore data into actionable engineering specifications.
