## Description

Stop manually calculating baker's percentages. This MCP gives your AI client the math skills needed to manage professional dough formulations. Whether you are scaling a recipe or adjusting for humidity, you can quickly find the exact weights for flour and water. You can check the hydration of an existing mix to see where it sits on the scale, or tell your agent exactly how much water you want to add to a specific amount of flour. It even categorizes your results into Stiff, Standard, or High hydration tiers so you know exactly what kind of dough you are working with. It's built to keep your recipes consistent every single time.

## Tools

### get_flour_for_target_hydration
This tool calculates the exact amount of flour you need to hit a specific hydration level when you already have a set amount of water.

### get_hydration_percentage
Use this to find the water to flour ratio of a dough based on the weights you provide.

### get_water_for_target_hydration
This tool determines the required water weight for a specific hydration target based on your flour amount.

### validate_hydration_range
This tool checks if your hydration percentage falls into the Stiff, Standard, or High categories.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the hydration percentage for 500g of flour and 350g of water?
```

**Response:** 
```
The hydration percentage is 70%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much flour do I need for 400g of water at 75% hydration?
```

**Response:** 
```
You need 533.33g of flour.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much water is needed for 1000g of flour at 80% hydration?
```

**Response:** 
```
You need 800g of water.
```

## Capabilities

### Ratio Calculation
Your agent calculates the exact water to flour ratio for any given weight.

### Ingredient Scaling
The AI determines how much flour or water is needed to reach a specific target.

### Dough Categorization
Your client identifies if a dough is Stiff, Standard, or High hydration.

### Formula Validation
The agent checks if your hydration levels fall within standard baking ranges.

## Use Cases

### Scaling Recipes
You tell your agent how much water you have, and it tells you exactly how much flour to add to hit your target.

### Consistency Checks
You provide the weights of a mixed dough to verify its hydration percentage.

### New Formula Testing
You use the tool to categorize new dough recipes into Stiff, Standard, or High tiers.

### Batch Adjustments
You calculate the necessary water for a large flour shipment to maintain a specific dough feel.

## Benefits

- Eliminates manual math errors in dough formulations.
- Provides instant ingredient weights for specific hydration targets.
- Standardizes dough types into predictable hydration categories.
- Allows for rapid recipe scaling through your AI client.

## How It Works

Connect your client to Vinkius and start asking for dough math immediately.

1. Connect your MCP-compatible client like Claude or Cursor to Vinkius.
2. Provide your flour and water weights to your AI agent.
3. The agent calls the specific hydration tool needed for your request.
4. You receive the precise ingredient weights or hydration percentage instantly.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I use this MCP with Claude?**
You connect your Claude client to Vinkius once. After that, you can simply ask Claude to calculate hydration or flour weights using the tools provided in this MCP.

**Can this calculate hydration for different dough types?**
Yes. The tool can categorize doughs into Stiff, Standard, or High hydration tiers using the validation tool.

**Do I need to provide weights in grams?**
The tools work with the weights you provide to calculate the exact ratios and ingredient requirements.

**What happens if I only have the flour weight?**
You can use the tool designed to find the required water weight for a specific hydration target based on your flour amount.

**Is this for professional use?**
Yes, it is designed for professional bakers who need to manage precise dough formulations and ingredient ratios.

**How do I calculate the hydration of my dough?**
You can use the `get_hydration_percentage` tool by providing the total weight of the flour and the total weight of the water.

**Can I determine how much water I need for a specific hydration?**
Yes, use the `get_water_for_target_hydration` tool with your flour weight and desired percentage.

**What are the standard hydration categories?**
The `validate_hydration_range` tool categorizes doughs into Stiff (50-60%), Standard (60-75%), and High (above 75%).
