## Description

You spend most of your life indoors, often in environments that ignore your biological need for nature. This MCP helps you quantify that gap. By looking at your weekly exposure patterns and where you live, your AI client can calculate a specific deficit score. It doesn't just tell you that you're disconnected; it gives you a roadmap to fix it. You can use it to find out how much more time you need outside or how small changes to your immediate surroundings, like adding plants, can help. Whether you live in a dense city or a rural area, this tool turns abstract feelings of stress into actionable environmental data. It helps you bridge the gap between modern living and the biological requirements of the human body.
