## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for managing mining supply chain logistics. It enables AI agents to calculate optimal order quantities, determine necessary safety stock levels based on demand and lead time volatility, estimate logistics costs for transporting materials, and monitor inventory health to prevent critical shortages. Use `analyze_inventory_status` to identify potential stockouts before they impact production.

## Tools

### analyze_inventory_status
Compares current stock levels against demand and lead times to identify potential shortages

### calculate_safety_stock
Determines how much extra buffer stock is needed to prevent shortages

### get_logistics_cost_estimate
Estimates the total cost of transporting items from a supplier to the mine

### get_optimal_order_quantity
Determines the ideal amount of a specific item to order to balance costs

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Check the status of item 'DRILL-BIT-001' with 50 units in stock, consuming 5 per day, with a 10-day lead time.
```

**Response:** 
```
The status for DRILL-BIT-001 is Critical. You have 10 days of stock remaining, which is less than the 10-day lead time.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the optimal order quantity for item 'FUEL-X' if the unit order cost is 500, holding cost is 20, and average demand is 100 per period?
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimal order quantity for FUEL-X is 138 units, with a total cycle cost of 13,856.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Estimate the cost to ship 500 units of 'REAGENT-A' from supplier 'SUPP-99' over 450km.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total estimated cost for shipping 500 units of REAGENT-A is 2,450, consisting of 2,200 in shipping and 250 in handling.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this tool help prevent production downtime?**
By using `analyze_inventory_status`, agents can detect when stock levels are falling below lead time requirements, allowing for proactive reordering of critical items.

**Can I calculate shipping costs for different suppliers?**
Yes, the `get_logistics_cost_estimate` tool allows you to estimate total costs including shipping and handling based on distance and quantity.

**How is safety stock determined?**
The `calculate_safety_stock` tool uses demand volatility and lead time volatility to determine the buffer needed to maintain a specific service level.
