## Description

This MCP server provides precision decision-support for surfboard shapers. It connects AI agents to a specialized database of foam blanks, allowing for automated selection based on target geometry and buoyancy needs. Use `find_suitable_blanks` to see available stock, `calculate_cut_plan` for precise trimming measurements, `evaluate_buoyancy_fit` to check density compatibility, and `optimize_blank_selection` to minimize foam waste. It is designed to bridge the gap between design intent and raw material availability.

## Tools

### evaluate_buoyancy_fit
Determine if a specific blank density and volume will result in desired buoyancy

### calculate_cut_plan
Provide specific trimming instructions for a selected blank

### find_suitable_blanks
Identify all available foam blanks that are large enough for the target dimensions

### optimize_blank_selection
Find the single best blank that minimizes waste while meeting all requirements

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Find all foam blanks suitable for a surfboard that is 180cm long, 50cm wide, and 6cm thick.
```

**Response:** 
```
I found 3 suitable blanks: High-Performance Pro-X (185x52x7), Standard Lite (190x55x8), and Budget Heavy (200x60x10).
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the trimming instructions for the High-Performance Pro-X blank to reach 180cm length, 50cm width, and 6cm thickness?
```

**Response:** 
```
To reach your target dimensions using the High-Performance Pro-X, you need to trim 5cm from the length, 2cm from the width, and 1cm from the thickness. This results in a waste percentage of 12.4%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Which blank is best for a 175x45x5cm board with 35L volume and a preferred density of 0.04?
```

**Response:** 
```
The best choice is the Standard Lite blank, as it provides the closest density match while minimizing total foam waste.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I find a blank that fits my surfboard design?**
You can use the `find_suitable_blanks` tool by providing your target length, width, and thickness. The tool will return a list of all available foam blocks that meet or exceed those dimensions.

**Can this tool help me reduce foam waste?**
Yes, the `optimize_blank_selection` tool is specifically designed to find the best blank that minimizes the volume difference between the raw foam and your target shape.

**How do I know if the blank will provide enough buoyancy?**
Use the `evaluate_buoyancy_fit` tool. By providing the blank name and your target volume, the tool calculates a buoyancy score to ensure the density and volume match your needs.
