## Description

This MCP server provides specialized hydrodynamic analysis for surfers. By connecting your AI assistant to Vinkius Edge, you can use tools like `get_paddle_speed` to predict maximum achievable speeds, `get_catch_rate` to determine wave interception probability, and `get_wave_count_potential` to estimate session efficiency. It also includes `get_board_efficiency_score` to evaluate how well a specific board matches your physical fitness and technical skill.

## Tools

### get_board_efficiency_score
Provides a single metric to evaluate how "user-friendly" a specific board is for a specific surfer

### get_wave_count_potential
Estimates the efficiency of a session by predicting how many waves can be caught before fatigue sets in

### get_catch_rate
Calculates how effectively a surfer can intercept and match the speed of a moving wave

### get_paddle_speed
Predicts the maximum achievable paddling speed for a specific surfboard and surfer combination

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is my expected paddling speed with a 35L, 6.0ft, 20in board if I have high fitness and intermediate technique?
```

**Response:** 
```
Your expected paddling speed is 1.2 m/s with a high performance rating.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How many waves can I catch in a 60 minute session with a 50L board, high fitness, and advanced technique?
```

**Response:** 
```
You can expect to catch approximately 15 waves during your 60 minute session.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate my catch rate for a steep wave (level 8) using a 40L board, medium fitness, and beginner technique.
```

**Response:** 
```
Your catch probability is 0.45 with an acceleration factor of 1.1.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How accurate are the speed predictions?**
Predictions are based on hydrodynamic models accounting for board volume, length, width, and user-specific factors like fitness and technique.

**Can I use this with Claude Desktop?**
Yes, you can connect this server to Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and any other MCP-compatible client via Vinkius Edge.

**What does the efficiency score represent?**
The `get_board_efficiency_score` tool provides a normalized metric indicating how well a board's buoyancy and dimensions align with your current physical conditioning and paddling proficiency.
