# destination-daylight-plan is your outdoor scheduler. AI Agent Connect

> destination-daylight-plan helps you manage outdoor excursions by calculating usable daylight windows. It accounts for sunrise, sunset, and travel constraints to build a logical sequence of activities. Your AI client uses these tools to ensure you aren't caught in the dark or rushing between locations.

## Description

Planning an outdoor trip usually involves a lot of mental math. You have to track sunrise and sunset, account for driving time, and decide which activities are worth the effort. This MCP handles that math for you. Instead of manually checking clocks and maps, you give your activity list and travel requirements to your AI client. It looks at the available light and builds a schedule that actually works. You can check if a specific hike fits into your afternoon or get a full rundown of how many high-priority tasks you can realistically finish before dark. It's about making sure your time outside is spent doing things rather than worrying about the sun going down.

## Tools

### get_priority_summary
This tool provides a high-level overview of your planned day. It shows how many activities you successfully prioritized versus how many you had to skip.

### plan_daylight_schedule
This tool generates a specific sequence of activities. It orders your tasks to fit within your available daylight windows.

### validate_activity_fit
This tool checks if a single activity is possible. It compares the task duration and travel needs against your current daylight constraints.

### calculate_daylight_availability
This tool finds your raw window of usable time. It calculates the total daylight available for any outdoor task.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Plan my day: Sunrise is 06:00, sunset is 18:00. I have 60 minutes of travel. My activities are: Hiking (120 mins, priority 5) and Bird Watching (60 mins, priority 3).
```

**Response:** 
```
Your planned activities are: Hiking from 06:00 to 08:00 and Bird Watching from 08:00 to 09:00.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much daylight do I have if sunrise is 05:30, sunset is 20:00, and I need a 30-minute safety buffer?
```

**Response:** 
```
You have 885 minutes of available daylight between 05:30 and 19:30.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Can I fit a 3-hour photography session if I have 150 minutes of daylight left and 20 minutes of travel?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, the photography session is not feasible as it requires 180 minutes plus travel, exceeding your 150 minutes of available daylight.
```

## Capabilities

### Daylight Calculation
Your agent determines the exact window of time available for outdoor work.

### Activity Sequencing
The AI builds a chronological list of tasks based on your priorities.

### Feasibility Checks
Your client verifies if a specific task can be completed before sunset.

### Priority Management
The MCP identifies which activities to keep and which to skip to fit your schedule.

## Use Cases

### Field Research Planning
Organize a day of biological sampling by matching task durations to the local sunrise and sunset.

### Guided Tours
Check if a group can complete a specific trail before the sun sets.

### Photography Trips
Verify if you have enough light left for a long exposure session after traveling to a site.

### Expedition Logistics
Determine how many high-priority objectives can be met during a single daylight window.

## Benefits

- Removes the need for manual daylight math.
- Accounts for travel time between activity locations.
- Prioritizes important tasks when time is limited.
- Prevents scheduling activities that exceed available light.

## How It Works

You connect the MCP to your preferred client and start providing your constraints.

1. Connect your AI client to the Vinkius-hosted MCP.
2. Provide sunrise, sunset, and travel time data to your agent.
3. List your desired activities with their durations and priorities.
4. The AI uses the tools to calculate windows and build your schedule.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this MCP handle travel time?**
The tools incorporate travel requirements into the feasibility checks and scheduling to ensure you have enough time to get to and from locations.

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

**Does it prioritize certain activities?**
Yes, the plan_daylight_schedule tool uses your provided priority levels to decide which activities to include in your sequence.

**What happens if I have too many activities?**
The get_priority_summary tool will show you exactly how many activities were prioritized and how many were skipped due to time constraints.

**Do I need to host this myself?**
No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and it is ready to use.

**How does the scheduling work?**
The engine calculates the total daylight window and subtracts travel time. It then sorts your activities by priority to ensure the most important tasks are scheduled first.

**Can I include travel time in my planning?**
Yes, you can provide travel duration to ensure the `plan_daylight_schedule` tool accounts for transit time when determining activity windows.

**What happens if an activity is too long?**
If an activity's duration exceeds the remaining available daylight, the tool will skip it to ensure the schedule remains realistic.
