## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools to model the mechanical interaction between snowboard bindings and the board. By analyzing binding stiffness, mounting position, and rider weight, you can use `get_flex_interference_profile` to determine how much the board's natural flex is obstructed. You can also use `calculate_damping_efficiency` to evaluate vibration absorption or `simulate_impact_event` to model the combined effects of a high-force landing. These tools help riders and gear testers understand the trade-offs between responsiveness and damping.

## Tools

### calculate_damping_efficiency
Evaluates how effectively the binding absorbs impact and vibration

### evaluate_board_feel
Provides a qualitative assessment of how the binding changes the "ride feel" of the board

### get_flex_interference_profile
Determines the percentage of the board's natural flex that is obstructed by the binding

### simulate_impact_event
A holistic tool to simulate a single high-force event to see the combined effect on the board

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How much will a composite binding with a stiffness of 0.5 mounted 20cm from the center affect a 75kg rider's board flex?
```

**Response:** 
```
The flex interference percentage is 12.5% and the stiffness delta is 0.08.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the damping efficiency for an alloy binding with 0.8 stiffness under a 500N impact force.
```

**Response:** 
```
The damping factor is 0.25 and the vibration absorption rate is 0.30.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Simulate a landing for a 80kg rider using a softshell binding (stiffness 0.3) at 15cm from center with a 1000N impact force.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total flex interference is 8.2%, the total damping is 0.65, and the effective stiffness increase is 0.12.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does mounting position affect the results?**
Mounting closer to the center of the board increases flex interference, while mounting closer to the tips allows the board to retain more of its natural arc.

**Can I simulate a heavy landing?**
Yes, you can use `simulate_impact_event` to see the combined effect of rider weight and impact force on total flex interference and damping.

**What is the difference between softshell and alloy bindings in this model?**
Softshell bindings typically have lower stiffness and higher damping, whereas alloy bindings provide higher stiffness and lower damping.
