## Description

This MCP server provides predictive modeling for papaya cultivation. It uses Growing Degree Days (GDD) and physiological metrics to determine optimal harvest timing for export or local markets. Use `predict_harvest_window` to find the best harvest date, `estimate_ripening_timeline` to forecast ripening speed under specific temperatures, and `calculate_shelf_life` to estimate marketable duration based on storage conditions.

## Tools

### calculate_shelf_life
Estimates the remaining marketable life of the fruit after harvest

### estimate_ripening_timeline
Predicts how many days it will take for the fruit to reach full ripeness

### predict_harvest_window
Determines the optimal date to harvest fruit based on intended market destination

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
When should I harvest my papaya for export if it has 50 GDD and a 100mm diameter?
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimal harvest window for export is in 5 days, with a recommended maturity stage of Mature Green.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How long will it take to ripen at 25 degrees Celsius?
```

**Response:** 
```
At 25°C, the fruit is expected to reach full ripeness in 4 days.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the shelf life if I store it at 12 degrees?
```

**Response:** 
```
The estimated remaining marketable life at 12°C is 10 days.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the harvest prediction work?**
The `predict_harvest_window` tool calculates the optimal harvest date by analyzing biological age (days from anthesis), accumulated heat units (GDD), and fruit diameter, adjusted for the target market.

**Can I predict ripening for different temperatures?**
Yes, use `estimate_ripening_timeline` to predict how ambient temperature affects the speed of the climacteric ripening process.

**How is shelf life calculated?**
The `calculate_shelf_life` tool estimates remaining marketable days by considering the maturity at harvest, storage temperature, and any transport duration.
