## Description

You can now give your AI client the ability to model athletic readiness with mathematical precision. This MCP uses the Banister Fitness-Fatigue model to quantify how training loads impact your long-term fitness and short-term fatigue. Instead of guessing if you're overtraining or underprepared, you can use your agent to run specific calculations that project your performance for any future date. It's built for anyone who needs to move past intuition and start using training data to decide when to race, when to taper, and when to push harder. Your agent handles the heavy lifting of the Banister math, leaving you to focus on the training plan.

## Tools

### get_fatigue_level
This tool measures the immediate physiological strain you've built up from your most recent training sessions.

### get_fitness_level
Use this to determine your current physiological capacity based on your historical training data.

### assess_readiness
This tool provides a qualitative status of how ready you are for a competition.

### calculate_peaking_index
This calculates your net readiness value for a specific competition date.

### predict_peak_day
This identifies the specific date when your peaking index will be at its highest.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Based on my training history, when is my best day to compete?
```

**Response:** 
```
Your optimal competition day is in 12 days, where your predicted peaking index will reach its maximum value.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate my peaking index for a race in 7 days.
```

**Response:** 
```
Your projected peaking index for the race in 7 days is 42.5, with a fitness level of 85.0 and a fatigue level of 42.5.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Am I ready for my marathon next week?
```

**Response:** 
```
Your current status is 'Peaked', meaning you are in an optimal state for competition with high fitness and manageable fatigue.
```

## Capabilities

### Performance Projection
Your agent calculates readiness values for specific future dates.

### Fatigue Monitoring
The MCP quantifies the physiological strain from recent training loads.

### Fitness Tracking
It determines your current physiological capacity using historical data.

### Optimal Timing
Your agent identifies the best possible day to compete for maximum performance.

### Readiness Assessment
It provides a status report on whether you are ready for a specific event.

## Use Cases

### Race Day Planning
Use the peaking index to decide if you should race this weekend or wait for a better window.

### Tapering Optimization
Determine how much to reduce training load to hit your peak on a specific date.

### Overtraining Prevention
Monitor fatigue levels to ensure training strain doesn't exceed your physiological capacity.

### Performance Forecasting
Project your readiness for a marathon or triathlon weeks in advance.

## Benefits

- Quantifies the balance between long-term fitness and short-term fatigue.
- Uses the Banister Fitness-Fatigue model for mathematical accuracy.
- Identifies specific competition windows to maximize performance.
- Provides qualitative readiness statuses based on training load.

## How It Works

Get your training data into your AI client and let the Banister model do the math.

1. Connect the MCP to your preferred AI client via Vinkius.
2. Provide your training history and load data to your agent.
3. Ask your agent to calculate your current fitness and fatigue levels.
4. Request a peaking index calculation or a predicted peak day for your target event.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What model does this MCP use?**
This MCP uses the Banister Fitness-Fatigue model to calculate athletic readiness.

**How do I use this with Claude or Cursor?**
You connect to the MCP through Vinkius, which hosts it for you. Once connected, your AI client can call the tools directly.

**Can I predict my best race day?**
Yes, you can use the predict_peak_day tool to find the date when your peaking index is at its highest.

**What is a peaking index?**
It is a net readiness value that represents the balance between your fitness and your fatigue for a specific date.

**Do I need to host this myself?**
No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use immediately after connection.
