## Description

You can now give your AI agent the ability to handle heavy lifting for drilling hydraulics. Instead of manually running formulas, you use this MCP to feed fluid rheology and wellbore geometry data directly into your agent. It can then calculate the equivalent circulating density to protect formation integrity or check if your fluid is actually moving cuttings out of the wellbore. It handles the math for pressure drops caused by fluid friction and determines annular velocity in the space between the drillpipe and the wellbore. This turns your AI client into a technical partner that understands the physics of your drilling environment.

## Tools

### calculate_ecd
This tool computes the Equivalent Circulating Density to help you maintain formation integrity.

### calculate_hole_cleaning
Use this to evaluate how effectively your fluid removes cuttings from the wellbore.

### calculate_annular_velocity
This tool calculates the speed of fluid movement within the annular space.

### calculate_pressure_losses
This tool determines the total pressure drop in your system caused by fluid friction.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the total pressure loss for a system with a flow rate of 500 gpm using a Bingham Plastic model.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total pressure loss for the specified system is 450 psi, consisting of 300 psi pipe loss and 150 psi annulus loss.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the annular velocity if the flow rate is 600 gpm and the wellbore diameter is 8.5 inches with a 5 inch drillpipe?
```

**Response:** 
```
The annular velocity is 185.4 ft/min with a flow area of 0.185 sq ft.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the ECD for a static mud density of 10 ppg and an annulus pressure loss of 200 psi at a depth of 10,000 ft.
```

**Response:** 
```
The Equivalent Circulating Density (ECD) is 10.37 ppg.
```

## Capabilities

### Pressure Loss Analysis
Your agent calculates total pressure drops caused by fluid friction in the system.

### Formation Protection
The AI uses ECD calculations to ensure you stay within formation integrity limits.

### Hole Cleaning Assessment
Your agent evaluates if the fluid is effectively removing cuttings from the wellbore.

### Velocity Monitoring
The AI determines the speed of fluid movement in the annular space.

## Use Cases

### Wellbore Integrity Checks
Run ECD calculations to ensure circulating pressures do not exceed formation limits.

### Cuttings Transport Verification
Check hole cleaning effectiveness to prevent cuttings buildup in the wellbore.

### System Pressure Modeling
Determine total pressure losses to plan pump requirements and equipment needs.

### Fluid Velocity Analysis
Calculate annular velocity to confirm fluid movement is sufficient for hole cleaning.

## How It Works

You connect the MCP to your AI client and then provide the technical parameters needed for the calculation.

1. Connect your AI client to the Vinkius hosted MCP.
2. Provide the agent with fluid rheology, wellbore diameter, or flow rate data.
3. The agent calls the specific tool required for the calculation.
4. The MCP returns the precise hydraulic result to your agent.
5. You receive the calculated value directly in your chat interface.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I use this MCP with Claude?**
You connect your Claude client to Vinkius, which hosts the MCP. Once connected, you can simply ask Claude to perform drilling hydraulic calculations using the provided tools.

**What kind of data do I need to provide for ECD calculations?**
You typically need to provide the static mud density, the annulus pressure loss, and the depth to the agent.

**Can this MCP calculate hole cleaning efficiency?**
Yes, the calculate_hole_cleaning tool evaluates how well the fluid removes cuttings based on your provided rheology and wellbore geometry.

**Do I need to host the MCP myself?**
No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and start using the tools.

**Which AI clients are compatible?**
Any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code can use this MCP.

**What rheology models are supported?**
The tool supports both Bingham Plastic and Power-Law models for fluid rheology calculations.

**How is ECD calculated?**
The `calculate_ecd` tool computes the Equivalent Circulating Density by combining static mud density with the pressure loss in the annulus relative to the true vertical depth.

**Can I calculate hole cleaning efficiency?**
Yes, use `calculate_hole_cleaning` to evaluate how effectively the fluid removes cuttings based on annular velocity and cuttings properties.
