## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools to design and optimize mining fleets. It calculates the required number of loading units using `loader_fleet_sizing_tool` and determines the necessary haul truck count with `truck_fleet_sizing_tool`. You can also evaluate the efficiency of equipment pairings via `equipment_match_analysis_tool` to ensure the number of bucket passes is optimized, and generate a comprehensive `fleet_productivity_report_tool` to identify bottlenecks between loading and hauling capacities.

## Tools

### equipment_match_analysis_tool
Evaluates the efficiency of the pairing between a specific loader and truck

### fleet_productivity_report_tool
Provides a high-level summary of the total fleet's capability

### loader_fleet_sizing_tool
Determines the required capacity and number of loading units needed to meet a specific production target

### truck_fleet_sizing_tool
Calculates the number of haul trucks required to support the loading units and meet production targets

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How many loaders do I need for a target of 5000 cubic meters if density is 2.5 and I have 2000 operating hours with 85% availability and 80% utilization?
```

**Response:** 
```
You will need 2 loaders to meet the production target of 5000 cubic meters under the specified availability and utilization constraints.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the truck fleet for 5000 cubic meters, 100m haul distance, 20km/h speed, 5 minute loader cycle, 90% availability and 85% utilization.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required truck fleet consists of 4 trucks to support the production target given the haul distance and cycle times.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a 10m3 bucket a good match for a 50m3 truck with a material density of 2.0?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the equipment match is optimized as it requires 5 passes to fill the truck.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool calculate the number of trucks needed?**
The `truck_fleet_sizing_tool` calculates the truck count by analyzing the total cycle time, which includes loading, travel, and dumping, relative to the target production volume and machine availability.

**What is an optimized equipment match?**
An optimized match occurs when the `equipment_match_analysis_tool` determines that the loader bucket capacity allows for 3 to 5 passes to fill a truck, balancing cycle time and payload efficiency.

**Can I identify bottlenecks in my fleet?**
Yes, by using the `fleet_productivity_report_tool`, you can identify if your system capacity is limited by the loading fleet or the hauling fleet.
