## Description

This MCP server provides structural analysis for kite lines. It uses catenary and vector mechanics to calculate total tension, stretch percentage, and breaking strength margins based on kite power, line geometry, and material properties. Use `calculate_tension_and_safety` for a full analysis or `predict_line_failure` to check if a specific load exceeds the line's capacity.

## Tools

### calculate_tension_and_safety
Provides a complete structural analysis of the line under current conditions

### estimate_line_weight
Calculates the total weight of the line to account for catenary sag

### get_material_properties
Retrieves the physical constants for specific line materials

### predict_line_failure
Determines if a specific line configuration will fail under a given load

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the tension for a 50m Dyneema line with 2mm diameter, 100N kite power, and a 30 degree angle from vertical.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total tension for your 50m Dyneema line is 105.42 N, with a stretch of 0.02% and a breaking strength margin of 12.5.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a polyester line with 1.5mm diameter safe under 200N of tension?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, the current tension of 200N exceeds the breaking strength of this polyester line configuration.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the weight of a 100m polyester line that is 3mm thick?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total weight of the 100m polyester line is 14.2 N.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the catenary curve affect my tension calculations?**
The catenary curve accounts for the weight of the line itself. As the line length increases, the sag increases, which raises the total tension compared to a perfectly straight line.

**Can I use this for both Dyneema and Polyester lines?**
Yes, the server supports both Dyneema and Polyester. You can use `get_material_properties` to see the specific constants used for each material.

**How do I know if my kite line is about to break?**
You can use the `predict_line_failure` tool. It compares your current tension against the breaking strength of the material and provides a safety margin.
