## Description

This MCP server provides precise soil moisture analysis tools. Use `get_soil_profile_summary` to obtain a complete diagnostic of soil water characteristics, including Field Capacity (FC), Permanent Wilting Point (PWP), and Available Water Capacity (AWC). You can also use `get_soil_water_retention` to determine volumetric water content based on sand, silt, and clay percentages, or `calculate_root_zone_storage` to find the total depth of water available in a specific soil layer in millimeters.

## Tools

### calculate_available_water_capacity
Calculate the amount of water available for plant uptake

### calculate_root_zone_storage
Calculate the total depth of water available in a specific soil layer

### get_soil_profile_summary
Provide a complete diagnostic of the soil's water characteristics

### get_soil_water_retention
Determine volumetric water content at specific tension levels based on soil texture

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Give me a full soil profile for a soil with 40% sand, 40% silt, 20% clay, 3% organic matter, a 500mm rooting depth, and 1.3 bulk density.
```

**Response:** 
```
The soil profile shows a Field Capacity of 0.32, a Permanent Wilting Point of 0.12, an Available Water Capacity of 0.20, and a total water storage of 100 mm in the root zone.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the available water capacity for a soil with field capacity of 0.35 and wilting point of 0.15?
```

**Response:** 
```
The available water capacity is 0.20.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the water retention for 20% sand, 30% silt, and 50% clay with 2% organic matter.
```

**Response:** 
```
The soil has a Field Capacity of 0.38 and a Permanent Wilting Point of 0.18.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is Field Capacity?**
Field Capacity is the amount of soil moisture held in the soil after excess water has drained away due to gravity.

**How does organic matter affect the results?**
Organic matter increases the soil's ability to hold water by improving structure and increasing surface area for moisture attachment.

**Can I calculate total water storage in a specific depth?**
Yes, you can use the `calculate_root_zone_storage` tool to find the total depth of water available in millimeters for a given rooting depth.
