## Description

This MCP server provides decision-support tools for selecting the best cover crops for your farm. Use `species_search` to find compatible plants for your climate zone, `calculate_selection_score` to rank species by your primary goal, and `estimate_impact_metrics` to quantify biomass and nitrogen benefits. You can also use `check_rotation_compatibility` to ensure your cover crop won't interfere with your next cash crop.

## Tools

### calculate_selection_score
Rank specific species or mixes based on unique decision criteria

### check_rotation_compatibility
Verify if a selected cover crop setup will interfere with a planned cash crop

### estimate_impact_metrics
Quantify the physical and economic outcomes of a specific species or mix

### species_search
Discover available cover crop species compatible with specific environmental conditions

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What cover crops are good for nitrogen fixation in a Temperate climate zone?
```

**Response:** 
```
In a Temperate climate, Crimson Clover and Hairy Vetch are excellent choices for nitrogen fixation.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I find species for my specific region?**
You can use the `species_search` tool by providing your specific climate zone to see a list of compatible species.

**Can I compare multiple species at once?**
Yes, the `calculate_selection_score` tool allows you to input a list of species to rank them against your primary objectives.

**Will this tool help prevent crop interference?**
Yes, the `check_rotation_compatibility` tool evaluates the relationship between your cover crop and your intended cash crop to minimize risk.
