## Description

This MCP server provides specialized engineering tools for offshore riser design. It allows AI agents to perform critical calculations including `select_riser_configuration` to determine the best riser type (rigid, flexible, SCR, or lazy-wave), `calculate_fatigue_life` to estimate structural longevity, `assess_viv_risk` to evaluate Vortex-Induced Vibration, and `verify_structural_integrity` to ensure safety during installation and operation.

## Tools

### assess_viv_risk
Evaluates the risk of Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) and determines suppression requirements

### calculate_fatigue_life
Estimates the structural longevity of a specific riser configuration

### select_riser_configuration
Determines the most suitable riser type for a given offshore site and pipeline specification

### verify_structural_integrity
Checks if the chosen riser can handle both installation and operational load cases

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What type of riser should I use for a water depth of 500m with 2m vessel motion?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a water depth of 500m and 2m vessel motion, a Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) is a suitable configuration.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is there a high risk of VIV at a current velocity of 1.5 m/s?
```

**Response:** 
```
At a current velocity of 1.5 m/s, the VIV risk level is high, and the use of strakes is recommended for suppression.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if my 12-inch riser is safe for installation at 300m depth.
```

**Response:** 
```
The riser design is safe for the installation phase at 300m depth with the provided parameters.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What standards does this tool follow?**
The design methodologies and calculations follow the API RP 2RD standards for offshore riser design.

**Can I check if a design is safe for installation?**
Yes, you can use the `verify_structural_integrity` tool and set the installation phase flag to true to validate deployment loads.

**How is fatigue life calculated?**
Fatigue life is estimated using the `calculate_fatigue_life` tool, which considers wave height, period, current velocity, and vessel motion.
