## Description

Rotating work schedules mess with your internal clock. This MCP uses circadian biology principles to help you manage that friction. Instead of guessing when to sleep or when to drink caffeine, you get specific, actionable plans tailored to your upcoming rotation. You can use it to figure out exactly when to seek bright light to stay awake or when to avoid it to ensure you can actually fall asleep after a night shift. It handles the heavy lifting of calculating sleep windows and alertness protocols so you can focus on your job without feeling constantly out of sync. Whether you are moving from days to nights or dealing with a fast backward rotation, your AI client can use these tools to build a schedule that respects your physiology.

## Tools

### get_adaptation_strategy
This tool provides a high level strategic overview of how you should adjust your lifestyle for an upcoming rotation.

### get_alertness_plan
Use this tool to get specific recommendations for maintaining cognitive performance during your working hours.

### get_light_protocol
This tool generates a plan for when to seek bright light and when to avoid it to help shift your circadian rhythm.

### get_sleep_schedule
This tool calculates specific sleep windows for every shift in your rotation pattern.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I am moving from day to evening to night shifts on a slow rotation. What is my strategy?
```

**Response:** 
```
You should use a phase delay approach. Focus on delaying your sleep onset each night to gradually align with the upcoming shifts.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Give me a sleep schedule for a backward rotation (night to evening to day) that is fast.
```

**Response:** 
```
For a fast backward rotation, your sleep windows are: Night shift: 08:00-15:00, Evening shift: 02:00-09:00, and Day shift: 22:00-05:00.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
When should I avoid light during a forward rotation?
```

**Response:** 
```
To help with a phase advance, you should avoid bright light during the late evening and early morning hours before your scheduled sleep window.
```

## Capabilities

### Circadian Alignment
The AI uses biological principles to suggest lifestyle adjustments for shift changes.

### Sleep Window Calculation
Your agent calculates specific rest periods based on your rotation pattern.

### Light Exposure Management
The MCP provides timing for light exposure to help shift your internal clock.

### Cognitive Performance Support
Your AI client receives plans for caffeine and meal timing to maintain alertness.

## Use Cases

### Forward Rotations
Use the light protocol to manage phase advances when moving toward later shifts.

### Backward Rotations
Get specific sleep windows when rotating from night shifts back to day shifts.

### Maintaining Alertness
Apply alertness plans to manage caffeine and meal timing during long shifts.

### Lifestyle Adjustment
Get a high level strategy for adjusting your daily habits to match new work hours.

## Benefits

- Reduces the friction of changing work hours through biological planning.
- Provides specific timing for light exposure to aid circadian shifting.
- Calculates precise sleep windows for every shift in a rotation.

## How It Works

You connect the MCP to your AI client and provide your shift details.

1. Connect your preferred MCP-compatible client to Vinkius.
2. Tell your AI client your current and upcoming shift rotation.
3. The AI uses the MCP tools to calculate sleep, light, and alertness plans.
4. Follow the generated protocols to manage your circadian rhythm.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this MCP help with shift work?**
It uses circadian biology to create sleep schedules, light exposure plans, and alertness strategies tailored to your specific work rotation.

**Can I use this with any AI client?**
Yes, you can use this MCP with any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code.

**What is a phase delay approach?**
It is a strategy where you delay your sleep onset each night to gradually align your body with later work shifts.

**Does it provide specific times for sleeping?**
Yes, the get_sleep_schedule tool generates specific sleep windows for each shift in your rotation.

**How does it manage light exposure?**
The get_light_protocol tool tells you exactly when to seek bright light and when to avoid it to help shift your internal clock.
