## Description

This MCP server provides deterministic calculations for candy making. It identifies the specific candy stage--such as Soft Ball, Hard Crack, or Caramel--based on target temperature, sugar concentration, and altitude. Use `get_candy_stage_info` to retrieve the exact temperature range, water content, and physical test descriptions. You can also use `validate_cooking_safety` to ensure temperatures remain within the safe culinary range of 100°C to 200°C, or `calculate_altitude_offset` to determine the necessary temperature reduction for your elevation.

## Tools

### calculate_altitude_offset
Calculates the temperature reduction required due to altitude to assist in manual adjustments

### validate_cooking_safety
Checks if a specific temperature is safe for candy making according to standard culinary bounds

### get_candy_stage_info
Identifies the specific candy stage and all associated physical and thermal properties for a given set of conditions

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What candy stage is reached at 115°C with 80% sugar concentration at sea level?
```

**Response:** 
```
At 115°C and 80% sugar concentration, you have reached the Soft Ball stage. The temperature range for this stage is 112°C to 115°C, and the water content is 20%. You can verify this by dropping a small amount of syrup into cold water; it should form a soft, pliable ball.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is 210°C safe for making candy?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, 210°C is not safe. It is above the standard culinary limit of 200°C.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I am at 3000 meters altitude. How much should I adjust my boiling point?
```

**Response:** 
```
At 3000 meters, the temperature offset is 10°C. You should subtract 10°C from your target boiling point.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does altitude affect candy making?**
Higher altitudes have lower atmospheric pressure, which lowers the boiling point. The `calculate_altitude_offset` tool helps you find the exact Celsius reduction needed for your elevation.

**What is the safe temperature range for sugar work?**
The safe range for candy making is between 100°C and 200°C. You can use `validate_cooking_safety` to check if your target temperature is within these bounds.

**How can I verify a candy stage physically?**
The `get_candy_stage_info` tool provides a `physicalTest` description, which explains how to verify the stage using a cold water test.
