# Laundry Resource Comparator AI Agent Connect

> Laundry Resource Comparator helps you track and compare the environmental impact of different laundry cycles. Your AI client uses this MCP to pull machine profiles, project total water and energy consumption, and compare different settings to find the most efficient way to run your machines.

## Overview

- **Tags:** laundry, water-usage, energy-efficiency, resource-management, eco-friendly

## Description

You can use this MCP to get a clear picture of how your laundry operations affect water, energy, and detergent consumption. Instead of guessing which cycle is better for the environment or your utility bill, you can run precise calculations through your AI client. You'll start by pulling specific profiles for front-load, top-load, or industrial machines. From there, you can project how much total resource usage will accumulate over dozens or hundreds of loads. If you need to see how a specific change, like using less detergent or a different energy multiplier, affects the bottom line, the MCP handles those custom adjustments. It's a direct way to move from vague ideas about efficiency to hard numbers based on your specific machine types and priorities.

## Tools

### calculate_resource_totals
This tool calculates the total water, energy, and detergent used over a specific number of laundry loads.

### compare_settings_efficiency
Use this to weigh two different machine settings against each other based on your specific priority, like saving water or energy.

### evaluate_custom_impact
This tool lets you input manual adjustments for detergent amounts or energy multipliers to see how they change the total footprint.

### get_machine_settings
This tool retrieves the available configuration profiles for front-load, top-load, or industrial machines.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the available settings for a front load machine?
```

**Response:** 
```
The available profiles for a front load machine are Eco, Heavy Duty, and Quick Wash.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Which is more efficient for water usage: Eco or Heavy Duty for 10 loads on a front load machine?
```

**Response:** 
```
The Eco profile is more efficient, providing a 30% reduction in water usage compared to Heavy Duty over 10 loads.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the total energy used for 50 cycles of the Eco profile on a front load machine.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total energy used for 50 cycles of the Eco profile is 45.0 kWh.
```

## Capabilities

### Profile Retrieval
Your agent pulls specific configuration data for different machine types.

### Usage Projection
The AI calculates cumulative resource consumption over many cycles.

### Efficiency Comparison
Your client compares two settings to see which meets your specific resource goals.

### Custom Impact Modeling
The AI adjusts detergent or energy variables to simulate different scenarios.

## Use Cases

### Budget Planning
Project total energy and water costs for a month of laundry operations.

### Sustainability Reporting
Compare Eco settings against standard settings to quantify resource savings.

### Operational Optimization
Determine which machine profile uses the least amount of detergent for a specific load type.

### Custom Scenario Testing
See how changing energy multipliers affects the total footprint of a machine.

## Benefits

- Calculates cumulative resource totals for large numbers of loads.
- Compares machine settings based on user-defined priorities.
- Models custom detergent and energy adjustments.
- Provides specific profiles for front-load, top-load, and industrial machines.

## How It Works

Connect your AI client to Vinkius to start running resource calculations immediately.

1. Connect your preferred MCP-compatible client to Vinkius.
2. Ask your agent to retrieve machine profiles using the get_machine_settings tool.
3. Request a comparison or a total calculation for specific settings.
4. Review the projected water, energy, or detergent totals provided by your agent.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What kind of machines can I analyze?**
The MCP includes profiles for front-load, top-load, and industrial laundry machines.

**Can I compare two different settings?**
Yes, you can use the compare_settings_efficiency tool to see which setting is better for your specific priority.

**How do I calculate usage for many loads?**
Use the calculate_resource_totals tool to project cumulative usage over a set number of cycles.

**Can I adjust the detergent amount in the calculation?**
Yes, the evaluate_custom_impact tool allows you to provide manual adjustments for detergent or energy multipliers.

**Which AI clients can use this MCP?**
You can use this MCP with any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code.

**How can I find available washing machine profiles?**
You can use the `get_machine_settings` tool by providing the machine type, such as 'front_load' or 'top_load'.

**Can I compare two different settings directly?**
Yes, the `compare_settings_efficiency` tool allows you to compare two profiles based on a priority factor like water, energy, or detergent.

**How do I account for older, less efficient machines?**
Use the `evaluate_custom_impact` tool and provide an `energyMultiplier` to adjust the energy consumption for your specific machine.
