## Description

You can use this MCP to turn a pile of surplus kitchenware into a coordinated redistribution effort. Instead of manually deciding which items go where, your AI client uses the provided tools to build a complete logistics plan. You can match specific items to recipient needs, ensure everything is cleaned and labeled according to hygiene standards, and group items into batches that fit your storage or transport limits. Once the prep work is done, the MCP generates a step-by-step sequence to move goods from your storage to their final destination. It takes the guesswork out of surplus management by handling the heavy lifting of planning and task generation.

## Tools

### create_handoff_sequence
This tool produces a clear, step-by-step execution plan for moving items from where they sit now to their final destination.

### generate_preparation_tasks
This tool creates a specific list of cleaning and labeling tasks to ensure every item meets hygiene requirements before it moves.

### get_circulation_strategy
This tool determines the best high-level strategy for your items by looking at their current condition and who needs them.

### plan_transfer_batches
Use this to group items into logical batches so you don't exceed your physical storage or transport limits.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Create a circulation strategy for these items: ['item_001', 'item_002'] with these recipient profiles: [{'needs': 'cooking_utensils'}]
```

**Response:** 
```
The strategy for items item_001 and item_002 is a Transfer to the specified recipient, as both items meet the cooking_utensils requirement.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Generate cleaning tasks for item_005 which is made of stainless steel.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required tasks for item_005 are: 1. Standard wash with food-safe detergent. 2. Sanitize surface. Priority: Medium.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Organize these batches into a handoff sequence: [{'batchId': 'B1', 'itemIds': ['item_1']}] and handle item_99 as a responsible route item.
```

**Response:** 
```
Step 1: Move batch B1 to the primary recipient. Step 2: Divert item_99 to the responsible route for specialized disposal.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the MCP handle cleaning requirements?**
The MCP uses the generate_preparation_tasks tool to create specific cleaning and labeling instructions based on the item's material and condition.

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

**How does it prevent overfilling storage during transfers?**
The plan_transfer_batches tool specifically groups items into logical batches that respect your defined storage limits.

**What kind of output does the handoff sequence provide?**
It provides a step-by-step execution plan that tells you exactly how to move items from storage to their final destination.

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

**How does the server handle food safety?**
The server uses `get_circulation_strategy` to evaluate item food-safe status against recipient needs, ensuring only safe items are assigned to households.

**Can I manage storage limits?**
Yes, by using `plan_transfer_batches`, you can define specific weight and volume constraints to ensure batches stay within your storage capacity.

**What happens to items that cannot be transferred?**
Items that do not meet recipient criteria or are unsafe for food contact are identified and managed via the `create_handoff_sequence` using the responsible route items.
