## Description

This MCP server provides professional-grade calculation tools for maple syrup producers. It uses the Jones Rule of 86 to predict syrup yields from raw sap and calculates the energy requirements for evaporation. Producers can determine boiling times and fuel consumption based on fuel type, and even account for energy savings from reverse osmosis pre-concentration. Use `predict_syrup_yield` to estimate volume, `calculate_boiling_requirements` for evaporation logistics, and `analyze_production_economics` for detailed cost breakdowns.

## Tools

### analyze_production_economics
Provides a detailed breakdown of the cost to produce a specific volume of syrup

### calculate_boiling_requirements
Calculates the duration of the boiling process and the energy/fuel needed to reach target density

### predict_syrup_yield
Predicts the total volume of finished syrup that can be produced from a given amount of sap

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How much syrup can I get from 500 gallons of sap with 2% Brix if I want 66.9% Brix syrup?
```

**Response:** 
```
From 500 gallons of sap at 2% Brix, you can produce approximately 15.15 gallons of finished syrup at 66.9% Brix.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the boiling requirements for 1000 gallons of sap at 2.5 Brix targeting 67 Brix using Propane.
```

**Response:** 
```
To process 1000 gallons of sap at 2.5 Brix to a target of 67 Brix using Propane, you will need approximately 450 minutes of boiling time and will consume 120 units of fuel.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the production cost for 50 gallons of syrup if I have 1000 gallons of sap at 2% Brix and fuel costs $2.50 per unit?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total production cost for this batch is $187.50, resulting in a cost of $3.75 per gallon of finished syrup.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How accurate are the yield predictions?**
Yields are calculated using the Jones Rule of 86, a standard industry method for estimating syrup volume from sap sugar concentration.

**Can I account for reverse osmosis?**
Yes, the `calculate_boiling_requirements` tool allows you to input a reverse osmosis concentration factor to reduce estimated boiling time and fuel needs.

**What fuel types are supported?**
The engine supports standard fuels including Wood, Propane, Natural Gas, and Diesel.
