# Sports Massage Duration Planner AI Agent Connect > Sports Massage Duration Planner MCP helps practitioners and athletes design highly specific massage sessions. It uses physiological principles to determine how much time to spend on specific muscle groups, which techniques to use, and how to sequence pressure. Your AI client uses these tools to turn training data and athlete profiles into actionable session plans. ## Overview - **Category:** health - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_FxrPgB1ndZJvIYIfoXxXUSx3IZ1HZqmnAg9p3VCw/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** sports-massage, athlete-recovery, training-optimization, physiology, physical-therapy ## Description You can stop guessing how much time to spend on a specific muscle group or which technique fits a training phase. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to act as a physiological planning assistant for sports massage. Instead of generic advice, you get specific guidance based on the athlete's current sport, their training phase, and their immediate goals. When you're working with a runner in a post-event recovery phase, the MCP calculates exactly how to distribute time between the quadriceps and hamstrings. It handles the math for pressure progression and technique selection so you can focus on the manual work. You can also use it to predict how a specific session will actually impact an athlete's readiness or recovery state. It's a technical layer that sits between your athlete's data and your hands-on practice. ## Tools ### calculate_pressure_progression This tool determines the specific sequence and depth of pressure you should apply throughout a session. ### estimate_recovery_impact Use this to get a qualitative assessment of how your planned massage will affect an athlete's performance or recovery. ### get_technique_recommendations This tool identifies the specific manual massage techniques that best suit your planned session. ### plan_session_timing This tool calculates the total session duration and the exact time you should allocate to each targeted muscle group. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Plan a 45-minute recovery massage for a runner in the post-event phase focusing on quadriceps and hamstrings. ``` **Response:** ``` For a 45-minute recovery session for a runner, the plan allocates 25 minutes to the quadriceps and 20 minutes to the hamstrings. It suggests using effleurage and petrissage to help with metabolic flushing. ``` **Prompt:** ``` What techniques should I use for a pre-event performance massage for a swimmer? ``` **Response:** ``` For a swimmer in a pre-event phase aiming for performance, the recommended techniques are rapid and stimulating to increase blood flow and neural activation. ``` **Prompt:** ``` How will a 30-minute maintenance massage for a weightlifter affect my recovery? ``` **Response:** ``` The assessment indicates a high recovery score and moderate performance readiness for this maintenance session focused on tissue quality. ``` ## Capabilities ### Time Allocation The AI calculates how many minutes to spend on each muscle group based on the total session length. ### Technique Selection Your agent identifies specific manual methods like petrissage or effleurage based on the athlete's needs. ### Pressure Sequencing The MCP provides a plan for how to progress pressure depth during the session. ### Recovery Prediction The AI estimates the qualitative impact of a session on an athlete's physiological state. ## Use Cases ### Post-Race Recovery Plan a session for a runner immediately after a race to facilitate metabolic flushing. ### Pre-Competition Prep Select stimulating techniques for a swimmer to increase neural activation before an event. ### Maintenance Planning Determine the impact of a short maintenance session for a weightlifter on their tissue quality. ### Session Timing Optimization Divide a fixed time block across multiple muscle groups to ensure all areas get adequate attention. ## Benefits - Calculates specific time splits for different muscle groups. - Provides technique recommendations based on training phases. - Sequences pressure depth to match session goals. - Predicts physiological outcomes of planned sessions. ## How It Works You connect your AI client to Vinkius and start planning sessions immediately. 1. Connect your preferred AI client to the Vinkius hosted MCP. 2. Provide the athlete's sport, training phase, and session goals to your AI agent. 3. The agent uses the MCP tools to calculate timing, techniques, and pressure. 4. Review the generated protocol and apply it during the session. ## Frequently Asked Questions **What AI clients can I use with this MCP?** You can use this MCP with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code. **Do I need to host the MCP myself?** No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and it is ready to use. **How does the tool decide which techniques to recommend?** The recommendations are based on physiological principles, the athlete's sport, and their current training phase. **Can I plan sessions for different types of athletes?** Yes, the tools are designed to handle various profiles, from runners and swimmers to weightlifters. **Does this MCP provide specific timing for muscle groups?** Yes, the plan_session_timing tool calculates the exact time allocation for each targeted muscle group. **How does the tool determine session timing?** The `plan_session_timing` tool calculates duration by prioritizing muscle groups most relevant to the specific sport and the current training phase. **Can I use this for pre-event preparation?** Yes, the server includes specific logic for pre-event phases, focusing on readiness and neural activation through tools like `calculate_pressure_progression`. **What information is required to plan a session?** You need to provide the athlete's sport, their current training phase, the muscle areas of focus, the session goal, and the desired total duration.
