## Description

This MCP server provides essential tools for infrastructure capacity planning. It helps organizations determine the exact moment to invest in new capacity to avoid service outages while minimizing idle costs. Use `calculate_investment_timing` to find the optimal decision window, `compare_investment_strategies` to evaluate the financial impact of early vs late investment, and `analyze_demand_buffer` to monitor safety margins. It also provides a high-level health overview via `get_capacity_lifecycle_summary`.

## Tools

### analyze_demand_buffer
Calculates the safety margin available at any given point in the planning horizon

### calculate_investment_timing
Determines when an organization must trigger a capacity investment to avoid breaching safety limits

### compare_investment_strategies
Evaluates the financial impact of investing too early versus waiting until the last possible moment

### get_capacity_lifecycle_summary
Provides a high-level overview of the infrastructure health and upcoming requirements

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
When should I trigger a new capacity investment if my current utilization is 60%, demand is growing at 5% monthly, and lead time is 3 months?
```

**Response:** 
```
You must make the investment decision in 12 months to ensure the new capacity is ready before you hit the 85% safety threshold.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Compare investing $50,000 now (2 months early) versus waiting 2 months late, with a monthly idle cost of $1,000.
```

**Response:** 
```
The early investment will incur $2,000 in additional idle costs, while the late investment carries a significant risk premium due to potential service failure.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is my current infrastructure status with 75% utilization, 2% growth, and 4 months lead time?
```

**Response:** 
```
Your current status is Warning. You have approximately 6 months remaining before a decision is required to maintain your safety threshold.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I know when to invest in new servers?**
You can use the `calculate_investment_timing` tool. By providing your current utilization, demand growth rate, and lead time, it will tell you exactly how many months you have until a decision is mandatory.

**Can I compare the cost of investing early versus late?**
Yes, the `compare_investment_strategies` tool is designed specifically to evaluate the financial impact of early investment (idle costs) versus late investment (risk of service failure).

**What is a demand buffer?**
A demand buffer is the safety margin between your current utilization and your maximum safe threshold. You can monitor this using `analyze_demand_buffer`.
