## Description

This MCP server provides a specialized computational engine for analyzing snowboard performance. By modeling edge contact geometry and environmental factors, it allows AI agents to determine how a board will behave in various snow conditions. Use `simulate_snow_interaction` to get a complete overview of engagement, force, and stability, or use specific tools like `calculate_edge_geometry` and `calculate_edge_hold` for granular physical metrics.

## Tools

### calculate_edge_geometry
Determines the primary physical engagement metrics of the snowboard during a turn

### evaluate_turn_stability
Assesses the predictability and grip of the turn

### simulate_snow_interaction
Predicts how the edge will behave by combining geometry and environmental resistance

### calculate_edge_hold
Calculates the resistive force provided by the snow to prevent sliding

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the effective edge length for a 155cm board with a 30mm sidecut at a 45 degree angle and 5mm snow penetration?
```

**Response:** 
```
The effective edge length is 112.4 cm with an engagement ratio of 0.725.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the edge hold force for a 110cm effective edge in hardpack snow with a 75kg rider.
```

**Response:** 
```
The edge hold force is 452.8 N.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Will my turn be stable? I have a 120cm effective edge, a stiff board (8/10), hardpack snow, and a 30 degree turn angle.
```

**Response:** 
```
The stability score is 0.85, indicating a highly predictable and secure turn.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the total turn performance?**
You can use the `simulate_snow_interaction` tool to perform a full simulation that combines geometry, hold force, and stability into a single result.

**Can I calculate the specific force exerted by the snow?**
Yes, use the `calculate_edge_hold` tool by providing the effective edge length, snow hardness, and rider weight.

**What determines the stability of a turn?**
Stability is assessed via `evaluate_turn_stability`, which considers effective edge length, board flex, snow hardness, and the turn angle.
