## Description

This MCP server provides advanced Critical Path Method (CPM) capabilities for construction project management. It allows AI agents to calculate total project duration, identify the critical path, and determine activity float. Users can analyze how resource constraints affect timelines using `analyze_resource_impact`, simulate weather-related delays with `simulate_weather_delay_impact`, and retrieve precise timing data for specific tasks via `get_activity_schedule_details`. The engine also provides high-level project summaries through `calculate_project_timeline`, accounting for leads, lags, and resource availability.

## Tools

### get_activity_schedule_details
Retrieves specific timing data (ES, EF, LS, LF, and Float) for a specific activity

### simulate_weather_delay_impact
Estimates how much the project completion date will shift if a specific weather event occurs

### analyze_resource_impact
Identifies if specific resource limitations are causing delays or if they are pushing activities off the critical path

### calculate_project_timeline
Provides a high-level summary of the entire project schedule including the total duration and the primary critical path

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the total duration and the critical path for this project?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total project duration is 45 days, and the critical path consists of activities: Foundation, Framing, and Roofing.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the early start and late start for activity 'Excavation'?
```

**Response:** 
```
For the 'Excavation' activity, the early start is Day 1 and the late start is Day 3, resulting in a total float of 2 days.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much will a 3-day rain event on Day 10 affect the project?
```

**Response:** 
```
The 3-day rain event will delay the project completion by 3 days, as the affected weather-sensitive activities are on the critical path.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this tool identify the critical path?**
The engine uses the Critical Path Method to identify the longest sequence of dependent activities. By using `calculate_project_timeline`, the agent can find the specific sequence of activities where the total float is zero.

**Can I simulate the impact of bad weather on my schedule?**
Yes. By using `simulate_weather_delay_impact`, you can estimate how a specific weather event will shift the project completion date for weather-sensitive activities.

**How are resource limitations handled?**
You can use `analyze_resource_impact` to identify if limited availability of labor or equipment is causing delays or pushing activities off the critical path.
