## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for designing methane drainage systems in high-gas coal mines. It allows AI agents to calculate optimal borehole spacing using `calculate_borehole_layout`, determine mechanical suction needs with `evaluate_vacuum_needs`, and predict system performance via `estimate_capture_efficiency`. Engineers can also use `analyze_mine_safety_risk` to ensure designs meet safety standards for specific mine layouts like longwall or room-and-pillar configurations.

## Tools

### analyze_mine_safety_risk
Provides a high-level assessment of whether the current design meets safety standards

### calculate_borehole_layout
Determines the optimal physical arrangement of drainage holes

### estimate_capture_efficiency
Predicts how much of the emitted methane will actually be captured

### evaluate_vacuum_needs
Calculates the mechanical suction requirements for the drainage network

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the borehole layout for a coal seam with a gas content of 15 and permeability of 0.5, aiming for a 90% capture rate.
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimal layout requires a borehole spacing of 12.5 meters with an estimated 45 holes needed for the target area.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the vacuum requirements for an emission rate of 500 with a spacing of 15 in a low-permeability seam?
```

**Response:** 
```
The system requires a vacuum pressure of 25 kPa and a pump capacity of 1200 m3/h.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a design with 85% capture efficiency safe for a longwall mine with an emission rate of 400?
```

**Response:** 
```
The risk level is low with a safety margin of 15% for this longwall configuration.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the required borehole spacing?**
You can use the `calculate_borehole_layout` tool by providing the gas content, coal permeability, and your target capture rate.

**Can this tool assess safety risks for longwall mines?**
Yes, the `analyze_mine_safety_risk` tool evaluates risk levels and safety margins specifically for layouts like longwall and room-and-pillar.

**How does gob gas affect the design?**
When using `estimate_capture_efficiency`, setting the gob presence to true will account for gas migration in collapsed areas, which may impact the predicted efficiency.
