## Description

You shouldn't have to pull out a calculator every time you realize your oven isn't hitting the mark. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to handle cooking time math with precision. Whether you're dealing with a finicky convection oven or you need to adjust a recipe's timing by a specific percentage, you can just tell your agent what you need. It calculates the new duration, checks that the adjustment is safe, and formats the result so it's easy to read. It's a simple way to make sure your timing stays accurate when the hardware doesn't match the recipe.

## Tools

### validate_adjustment_range
This tool checks if a requested percentage change stays within safe cooking limits.

### calculate_adjusted_time
This tool computes the new cooking duration after you apply a specific percentage adjustment.

### format_cooking_duration
This tool turns raw seconds into a clean, human-readable time format.

### get_adjustment_summary
This tool provides a full breakdown of the original time, the change, and the final result.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
If my recipe says 30 minutes, what is the new time if I increase it by 20%?
```

**Response:** 
```
The new cooking time will be 36 minutes.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I need to reduce a 120 second cook time by 50%. What is the result?
```
