## Description

This MCP server provides a specialized recommendation engine for snowboarders. It uses a flex-to-weight ratio model to calculate the ideal longitudinal flex rating, torsional stiffness, and vibration dampening requirements. By analyzing rider weight, riding style, skill level, and terrain, the tools provide precise technical profiles for board selection. Use `get_flex_recommendation` to find the primary stiffness rating, `get_torsional_profile` for edge control needs, and `get_stability_assessment` to evaluate vibration resistance.

## Tools

### compare_configurations
Compares two different sets of rider/board parameters to see how they change the recommendation

### get_flex_recommendation
Calculates the primary longitudinal flex rating and dampening profile for a rider

### get_stability_assessment
Evaluates the vibration and stability needs based on speed-driving factors

### get_torsional_profile
Determines the optimal twisting resistance required for edge control

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What snowboard flex do I need for a 75kg intermediate rider doing freestyle in the park?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a 75kg intermediate freestyle rider in the park, a medium flex rating with low dampening is recommended for optimal maneuverability.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I am an advanced rider weighing 90kg. What is my torsional stiffness requirement for riding on ice?
```

**Response:** 
```
An advanced 90kg rider on ice requires stiff torsional stiffness and an aggressive edge control rating for maximum grip.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much dampening do I need for powder riding as a beginner?
```

**Response:** 
```
A beginner riding in powder requires minimal dampening to maintain float and ease of movement.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does rider weight affect the recommendation?**
Heavier riders require higher flex ratings and increased dampening to prevent the board from losing effective edge contact under load.

**Can I compare two different board setups?**
Yes, you can use the `compare_configurations` tool to see the delta in flex and dampening between two different sets of rider and board parameters.

**What terrain types are supported?**
The engine supports analysis for park, groomed, powder, and ice terrain types.
