## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools to model Claviceps purpurea infection in rye crops. It allows AI agents to calculate physical contamination levels using `predict_infection_severity`, determine chemical toxicity via `estimate_alkaloid_risk`, quantify financial damage with `calculate_economic_impact`, and receive actionable agronomic advice through `generate_mitigation_plan`. It connects environmental weather data and crop history to precise risk metrics.

## Tools

### calculate_economic_impact
Quantifies the financial damage caused by the predicted contamination

### estimate_alkaloid_risk
Determines the chemical toxicity risk for human or animal consumption

### generate_mitigation_plan
Recommends specific agronomic actions to reduce contamination risk

### predict_infection_severity
Calculates the physical level of ergot contamination

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the predicted ergot risk if the rye flowers for 10 days with high moisture (0.8) and moderate temperature (18°C) in a field with high rotation risk (0.7)?
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted risk level is High, with an estimated sclerotia percentage of 12.5%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the economic loss for a harvest of 5000 units at $300 per unit if the contamination is 5%.
```

**Response:** 
```
The projected loss is $75,000 with Medium recovery potential.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
The risk level is Extreme and high moisture is expected. What should I do?
```

**Response:** 
```
You should apply intensive pollen management and prepare for Specialized cleaning requirements during harvest.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool calculate contamination levels?**
The `predict_infection_severity` tool calculates contamination by analyzing flowering weather conditions, the duration of the flowering window, and historical rotation risks.

**Can I get advice on how to reduce my crop risk?**
Yes, the `generate_mitigation_plan` tool provides specific recommendations such as harvest timing and cleaning requirements based on your predicted risk level.

**Does this tool assess food safety?**
The `estimate_alkaloid_risk` tool determines the chemical toxicity risk by evaluating predicted sclerotia levels against the specific rye variety's susceptibility.
