## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for conducting simplified Life Cycle Assessments (LCA) for chemical products. It allows AI agents to validate input data using `validate_lca_inputs`, execute mathematical calculations via `run_assessment_calculation`, retrieve high-level impact summaries with `get_impact_summary`, and pinpoint environmental drivers through `identify_environmental_hotspots`. The server supports both cradle-to-gate and cradle-to-grave assessment boundaries, calculating key metrics like Global Warming Potential (GWP), acidification, and eutrophication.

## Tools

### get_impact_summary
Provides a high-level overview of the calculated environmental impacts for a specific product assessment

### identify_environmental_hotspots
You can optionally filter by a specific category.

Pinpoints the specific inputs or processes that are the primary drivers of environmental impact

### run_assessment_calculation
Provide the validated assessment data as a JSON string.

Executes the actual LCA mathematical logic to transform raw data into impact scores

### validate_lca_inputs
Ensure all required fields for the chosen boundary type are provided.

Verifies that the provided data for a new assessment is complete and logically consistent

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Can you give me a summary of the environmental impacts for assessment ID 12345?
```

**Response:** 
```
The assessment for ID 12345 shows a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 450 kg CO2e, an acidification potential of 12.5, and a eutrophication potential of 3.2. The scope was cradle-to-gate.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the main environmental hotspots for my recent chemical product assessment?
```

**Response:** 
```
The primary hotspot is the electricity consumption during the synthesis stage, which contributes 45% to the total Global Warming Potential.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is my input data ready for a cradle-to-grave assessment?
```

**Response:** 
```
The data is valid. All required fields for a cradle-to-grave assessment, including waste generation and end-of-life emissions, are present.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What assessment boundaries are supported?**
The server supports both cradle-to-gate and cradle-to-grave assessment boundaries.

**How can I find the main cause of environmental impact?**
You can use the `identify_environmental_hotspots` tool to find the specific inputs or processes that contribute most to the total impact.

**Do I need to validate my data before running a calculation?**
Yes, it is recommended to use `validate_lca_inputs` to ensure your material, energy, and emission data is complete and consistent before executing the calculation.
