## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for paragliding and kite performance analysis. It calculates how environmental factors like UV exposure and flight hours impact fabric porosity. Use `analyze_canopy_health` to get a full assessment of air permeability and retirement status, or `validate_retirement_safety` to check if a canopy meets safety standards for flight.

## Tools

### analyze_canopy_health
Provides a comprehensive assessment of the current state of a kite canopy based on its usage history

### calculate_performance_impact
Determines how much the current porosity will specifically degrade the flight glide ratio

### get_material_specifications
Retrieves the baseline performance and degradation constants for a specific fabric type

### validate_retirement_safety
Evaluates if a canopy meets the safety standards for flight based on current porosity levels

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Analyze the health of a Lightweight Ripstop canopy with 150 flight hours, 200 UV exposure hours, and 5 cleanings.
```

**Response:** 
```
The canopy has an estimated porosity of 2.4%, an estimated power loss of 3.1%, and the status is Safe.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a Heavy-Duty Laminate canopy with 500 porosity safe to fly?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, the canopy is not safe to fly as the porosity exceeds the safety threshold for this material type.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the glide ratio reduction for a canopy with 5% porosity and 2% baseline porosity?
```

**Response:** 
```
The glide ratio reduction is 12.5% and the increase in parasite drag is 4.2%.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I check if my kite is safe to fly?**
You can use the `validate_retirement_safety` tool with your current porosity levels and material type to determine if the canopy meets safety standards.

**What factors affect canopy porosity?**
Porosity is primarily affected by total flight hours, cumulative UV exposure, the specific material type, and how frequently the canopy is cleaned.

**Can I get a full health report for my equipment?**
Yes, the `analyze_canopy_health` tool provides a comprehensive assessment including porosity percentage, estimated power loss, and a retirement recommendation.
