# Racking Scheduling Tool for winemakers. AI Agent Connect

> Racking Scheduling Tool manages the technical details of post-fermentation operations. It uses sedimentation kinetics to help you decide exactly when to move wine, how much lees to leave behind, and how to avoid oxidation or tank shortages. Connect it to your AI client to automate the math behind your cellar schedule.

## Description

You can stop guessing when a batch is ready for transfer. This MCP handles the heavy lifting of post-fermentation math by looking at how solids settle in your wine. Instead of relying on intuition, you use sedimentation kinetics to find the perfect window for racking. 

When you're planning a move, the tool calculates exactly how much wine to transfer and how much sediment to leave behind to maintain clarity. It also looks ahead at your cellar capacity so you don't run out of tank space mid-process. To protect your wine, it assesses the risk of oxidation for every planned transfer, helping you maintain quality. It turns your winemaking expertise into a set of actionable, automated schedules that keep your cellar running efficiently.

## Tools

### calculate_transfer_parameters
This tool determines the specific volumes for wine movement. It tells you how much clear wine to move and how much sediment to leave in the original vessel.

### evaluate_cellar_utilization
This tool analyzes your current racking schedule. It checks if your planned moves will leave you with enough tank space for upcoming batches.

### get_optimal_racking_time
This tool calculates the best time to rack a specific batch. It uses sedimentation progress to find the ideal window for transfer.

### get_oxygen_risk_assessment
This tool evaluates oxidation danger. It checks the risk level for a planned transfer to help you prevent spoilage.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
When should I rack 5000 liters of sur lies wine with a settling rate of 0.5?
```

**Response:** 
```
The ideal racking window for this sur lies wine is in 12 days, with an expected high clarity.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the transfer parameters for 2000 liters of wine with 5% sediment into a 2500 liter tank.
```

**Response:** 
```
You should move 1900 liters of clear wine, leaving 100 liters of residual lees. The target tank requires a minimum headspace of 600 liters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the oxygen risk for transferring 1000 liters into a 1200 liter tank for an early racking wine?
```

**Response:** 
```
The oxygen risk level is Medium. It is recommended to maintain a headspace buffer of 150 liters.
```

## Capabilities

### Sedimentation Tracking
Your agent uses this to find the right time for wine transfers.

### Volume Management
The AI calculates how much wine to move versus how much lees to leave.

### Space Planning
Your agent checks tank availability against your current schedule.

### Oxidation Protection
The tool assesses oxygen risks for every planned move.

## Use Cases

### Timing Racking
Determine the exact day a batch is ready to move based on its settling rate.

### Volume Calculation
Figure out how much clear wine you can get out of a tank without pulling up too much sediment.

### Cellar Capacity Planning
Check if your upcoming racking schedule will leave you with enough empty tanks.

### Quality Control
Assess the oxygen risk before a transfer to prevent unwanted oxidation.

## Benefits

- Reduces oxidation risk through automated assessment.
- Prevents tank shortages by analyzing cellar utilization.
- Optimizes transfer timing using sedimentation kinetics.
- Standardizes lees management across different wine batches.

## How It Works

Get your winemaking data into your AI client and let it handle the cellar math.

1. Connect the MCP to your client like Claude or Cursor via Vinkius.
2. Provide your batch details like volume, sediment percentage, or settling rate.
3. Ask your agent to calculate timing, volumes, or risks.
4. Receive specific instructions for your cellar operations.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this MCP help with wine quality?**
It helps prevent oxidation by assessing risk levels during transfers and ensures clarity by calculating the best time to rack based on sedimentation.

**Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?**
Yes. You can connect this MCP to any compatible client including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

**What kind of data do I need to provide?**
You typically provide batch volumes, sediment levels, settling rates, or target tank capacities.

**Does this help with tank management?**
Yes. The evaluate_cellar_utilization tool checks how your racking schedule impacts your available tank space.

**How does it handle lees management?**
The calculate_transfer_parameters tool tells you exactly how much wine to move and how much lees to leave behind.
