# Cut Flower Harvest Planner AI Agent Connect

> Cut Flower Harvest Planner MCP gives your AI agent the math it needs to manage floral production. It calculates exactly how many stems you need for specific orders, projects how many usable flowers you'll actually have after crop loss, and builds harvest schedules based on crop maturity and deadlines.

## Overview

## Description

Running a cut flower operation means balancing unpredictable biology with strict customer deadlines. This MCP gives your AI client the specific tools to bridge that gap. Instead of guessing if you have enough inventory, you can use your agent to run the numbers on stem demand against your projected yields. It accounts for the reality of natural crop loss so you don't overpromise on orders. You can map out exactly when to pick based on how fast your crops are maturing and when those bouquets need to ship. It's about moving from reactive picking to a data-driven schedule that keeps your supply chain moving.

## Tools

### calculate_stem_demand
This tool finds the total number of individual stems you need to fulfill a specific set of bouquet orders.

### generate_harvest_schedule
Use this to identify the exact dates you need to harvest based on how mature your crops are and when orders are due.

### project_effective_yield
This tool calculates your actual usable stem count by subtracting expected natural crop loss from your total yield.

### validate_harvest_feasibility
This tool checks if your projected crop yield is actually enough to meet the stem demand for a specific harvest date.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How many stems do I need for 5 bouquets that require 10 stems each?
```

**Response:** 
```
You need 50 stems in total.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
If I have 1000 stems and a 10% loss rate, what is my effective yield?
```

**Response:** 
```
Your effective yield is 900 stems.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a harvest of 100 stems enough for 80 required stems with a 15% buffer?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, with a 15% buffer, you need 92 stems, so 100 stems is sufficient to meet the requirement.
```

## Capabilities

### Demand Calculation
Your agent calculates the exact stem count required for any given bouquet order.

### Yield Projection
The AI accounts for natural crop loss to give you a realistic number of usable stems.

### Harvest Timing
Your agent builds a schedule that aligns crop maturity with order deadlines.

### Feasibility Checks
The AI verifies if your expected harvest can actually cover your current orders.

### Inventory Planning
Your agent uses yield and demand data to prevent overbooking or under-harvesting.

## Use Cases

### Wedding Order Planning
Calculate the exact stem count for large wedding orders to ensure you don't run short.

### Yield Forecasting
Project how many usable stems you'll have after accounting for expected crop loss.

### Harvest Scheduling
Generate a picking schedule that matches your crop's maturity with your shipping dates.

### Capacity Validation
Check if your current crop yield is sufficient to cover upcoming bouquet demands.

## Benefits

- Reduces order errors by calculating exact stem requirements.
- Prevents overpromising by factoring in natural crop loss.
- Syncs harvest dates with order deadlines automatically.
- Validates harvest capacity before you commit to orders.

## How It Works

Connect your client to Vinkius and start running agricultural math through your agent.

1. Connect your MCP-compatible client to Vinkius.
2. Provide your order details or crop data to your AI agent.
3. The agent uses the MCP tools to run calculations.
4. Receive precise stem counts, yield projections, or harvest dates.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this MCP help with flower farming?**
It provides tools to calculate stem demand, project usable yields after crop loss, and schedule harvests based on crop maturity.

**Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?**
Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

**Does it account for crop loss?**
Yes, the project_effective_yield tool specifically calculates usable stems by accounting for natural crop loss.

**How does it handle harvest dates?**
The generate_harvest_schedule tool identifies optimal picking dates by looking at crop maturity and your order deadlines.

**Can it tell if I have enough flowers for an order?**
Yes, the validate_harvest_feasibility tool checks if your projected yield can meet the demand for a specific date.

**How do I calculate the total stems needed for my orders?**
You can use the `calculate_stem_demand` tool by providing your bouquet orders and their stem definitions.

**Can I account for crop loss in my planning?**
Yes, the `project_effective_yield` tool calculates usable stems after applying your expected loss rate.

**How do I know if my harvest will meet demand?**
Use `validate_harvest_feasibility` to compare required stems against your projected yield, including an optional safety buffer.
