# Permutation Cycle Decomposer AI Agent Connect

> Permutation Cycle Decomposer is a mathematical toolset for your AI client. It handles the heavy lifting of permutation manipulation, allowing you to convert between notation styles, find inverses, and extract specific properties like parity or cycle length without manual computation.

## Overview

- **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_tSPqHPjiTwJjiNJCTFuQTjz35zF11AZTlYWj2fb2/ai-agent-connect
- **Tags:** math, permutations, algebra, combinatorics, group-theory

## Description

If you work with group theory or combinatorics, you know how tedious it is to manually track permutations. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to act as a precise mathematical engine. Instead of guessing if a sequence is a valid bijection or trying to mentally calculate an inverse, you can just ask your agent to do it. You can switch between one-line and disjoint-cycle notation in seconds, which makes it much easier to visualize how elements are moving. It also handles the structural analysis, pulling out the order and parity of any given set. It's built for accuracy, ensuring that every calculation follows strict mathematical rules.

## Tools

### analyze_properties
This tool calculates specific mathematical characteristics of a permutation. It finds things like cycle lengths, parity, and order.

### calculate_inverse
This tool generates the inverse of your chosen permutation. It reverses the mapping of the original sequence.

### convert_notation
This tool transforms permutations between one-line and disjoint-cycle representations. It's useful for changing how you view the data.

### validate_permutation
This tool checks if a sequence is a mathematically valid permutation. It ensures the sequence is a proper bijection.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Convert the one-line notation [2, 3, 1] to cycle notation.
```

**Response:** 
```
[[1, 2, 3]]
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the order and parity of the permutation [2, 1, 4, 3]?
```

**Response:** 
```
The order is 2 and the parity is even.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Find the inverse of the permutation [3, 1, 2].
```

**Response:** 
```
[2, 3, 1]
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What can this MCP do with permutations?**
It converts notation, calculates inverses, validates bijections, and analyzes properties like parity and order.

**Which AI clients can use this MCP?**
You can use it with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code.

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

**Can it check if a sequence is a valid permutation?**
Yes, the validate_permutation tool specifically checks if a sequence is a mathematically valid bijection.

**How does it handle different notation styles?**
The convert_notation tool allows you to switch between one-line and disjoint-cycle notation.

**How do I convert a permutation to cycle notation?**
You can use the `convert_notation` tool by providing the one-line notation as a JSON stringified array and setting the notation type to 'cycle'.

**Can I check if a sequence is a valid permutation?**
Yes, the `validate_permutation` tool checks if a sequence is bijective and identifies any missing elements or duplicates.

**What mathematical properties can be calculated?**
The `analyze_properties` tool calculates the order, parity, number of fixed points, and the lengths of all disjoint cycles.
