## Description

This MCP server provides hydrodynamic analysis for boards riding on water surfaces. It allows AI agents to calculate critical metrics like wetted length and planing area using `get_planing_metrics`. Users can evaluate stability with `get_stability_assessment`, analyze how tail curvature affects performance via `get_rocker_impact_analysis`, and determine efficiency tiers using `get_lift_efficiency_ratio`.

## Tools

### get_stability_assessment
Evaluates how stable the board is likely to be based on the calculated planing area and speed

### get_lift_efficiency_ratio
Determines the efficiency of the board by comparing lift produced to the total surface area

### get_planing_metrics
Calculates the primary hydrodynamic characteristics of the board under current riding conditions

### get_rocker_impact_analysis
Specifically analyzes how changes in the tail rocker affect the planing surface area

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the planing area for a 7ft board, 20in wide, moving at 15 knots with a 3 degree angle of attack?
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated planing area for your board is 425.5 square inches.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is my board stable at 25 knots with a wetted length of 4ft and width of 22in?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, at 25 knots with that wetted length, the stability score is low, indicating a high risk of instability.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much will increasing my rocker from 0.1 to 0.2 reduce my planing area at 12 knots?
```

**Response:** 
```
Increasing the rocker to 0.2 will reduce the planing area by approximately 12%.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the planing area?**
You can use the `get_planing_metrics` tool by providing the board length, width, speed, and angle of attack.

**Can I analyze the effect of tail rocker?**
Yes, the `get_rocker_impact_analysis` tool specifically calculates how changes in rocker affect the planing surface area.

**How is stability determined?**
Stability is assessed using `get_stability_assessment`, which evaluates the relationship between wetted length, speed, and board width.
