## Description

This MCP server provides a specialized calculation engine for snowboard performance analysis. By inputting physical dimensions like board length, waist width, and nose/tail widths, users can determine the `calculate_effective_radius` for any given edge angle. The engine also allows for deep performance analysis using `evaluate_turn_characteristics` to assess turn initiation ease and stability, and `predict_carve_quality` to determine carving efficiency and skid risk. It is an essential tool for gear testers and enthusiasts looking to understand how geometry and stiffness impact carving performance.

## Tools

### calculate_effective_radius
Determines the primary turning radius the board will follow at a specific edge angle

### compare_profiles
Compares two different board configurations to see which offers a tighter turn or better stability

### evaluate_turn_characteristics
Analyzes how easy it is to start a turn and how stable the turn feels

### predict_carve_quality
Predicts the smoothness and grip of a carved turn

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the effective radius for a 155cm board with a 25cm waist, 27cm nose, 24cm tail, at a 30 degree edge angle?
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated effective radius is 12.45 meters with an edge engagement of 45%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How stable will a board be with a 10m radius and a flex stiffness of 0.8?
```

**Response:** 
```
The turn initiation is Neutral and the stability rating is 0.85.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Predict the carve quality for a 12m radius at a 45 degree edge angle with 0.9 torsional stiffness.
```

**Response:** 
```
The carve score is 88 and the skid risk is Low.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the turning radius?**
Use the `calculate_effective_radius` tool by providing the board length, widths, and the edge angle you intend to use.

**Can I compare two different snowboards?**
Yes, use the `compare_profiles` tool to provide two board configurations and a target edge angle to see the difference in radius and responsiveness.

**What factors influence the stability rating?**
Stability is primarily influenced by the effective radius and the longitudinal flex stiffness of the board, which can be analyzed via `evaluate_turn_characteristics`.
