## Description

This MCP server provides advanced geological optimization tools to determine the most cost-effective drilling configurations. By analyzing spatial continuity and geological variability, it calculates optimal drill spacing and hole counts. Use `calculate_optimal_spacing` to find ideal distances, `apply_budget_constraints` to manage financial limits, and `get_drilling_plan_summary` to receive a complete report on risk and efficiency.

## Tools

### apply_budget_constraints
Adjusts the drilling plan to ensure the number of holes does not exceed financial limits

### calculate_optimal_spacing
Determines the ideal distance between drill holes to meet a target confidence level

### get_drilling_plan_summary
Aggregates all optimization metrics into a single, human-readable report

### predict_confidence_improvement
Evaluates how much the statistical certainty of the resource estimate improves with a specific drilling pattern

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the optimal drill spacing for a variogram range of 50m, target confidence of 0.95, and variability of 0.2?
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimal spacing is 32.5 meters, requiring 12 holes for the target area, with an expected confidence gain of 0.15.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have a budget of $50,000 and each hole costs $4,500. How many holes can I drill if the optimization suggested 15 holes?
```

**Response:** 
```
You can drill a maximum of 11 holes to stay within your $50,000 budget.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much will my confidence improve if I change my spacing from 40m to 25m with a variogram range of 50m?
```

**Response:** 
```
Reducing the spacing to 25 meters will increase your projected confidence from 0.82 to 0.94.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool account for geological uncertainty?**
The tool uses the `geologicalVariability` parameter and the variogram range to adjust spacing, ensuring that higher uncertainty leads to denser drilling patterns.

**Can I limit the number of holes to stay within my budget?**
Yes, you can use `apply_budget_constraints` to adjust your drilling plan so the total cost does not exceed your maximum financial ceiling.

**What information is needed for a drilling plan summary?**
To generate a summary via `get_drilling_plan_summary`, you need the optimal spacing, the final hole count, the expected confidence, and the variogram range.
