# Vehicle Cleaning Supply Planner AI Agent Connect

> Vehicle Cleaning Supply Planner MCP handles the math for fleet maintenance logistics. It calculates exactly how much cleaning concentrate you need based on vehicle size, dilution ratios, and cleaning frequency. Your AI client uses these calculations to manage inventory levels, predict upcoming costs, and generate shopping lists for chemical supplies.

## Description

Managing a vehicle fleet means constantly tracking chemical consumption to avoid running out of soap or degreaser mid-shift. This MCP takes the guesswork out of those logistics. Instead of manual spreadsheets, you give your AI client the vehicle surface area and your specific dilution ratios. It then works out the exact volume of concentrate required for every wash. 

You can use it to check if your current stock can handle next week's schedule or to figure out exactly how many bottles to order when you're running low. It also breaks down the cost per cleaning session, so you know exactly what each vehicle is costing you in supplies. It turns messy maintenance logs into clear, actionable purchase plans.

## Tools

### analyze_fleet_cost_efficiency
This tool provides a high-level summary of what each cleaning session costs for your entire group of vehicles.

### calculate_session_consumption
Use this to find out how much concentrated product a single vehicle uses during one cleaning event.

### estimate_inventory_needs
This tool checks your current stock against fleet requirements to see if you have enough product for a specific timeframe.

### generate_purchase_plan
This tool turns a product shortage into a specific shopping list that includes the number of containers needed and the total cost.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How much concentrate do I need for a 20 square meter car with a 1:100 dilution ratio and 0.5 liters of solution per unit area?
```

**Response:** 
```
You need 0.1 liters of concentrated product.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have 5 liters of stock. I need 12 liters for my fleet. How many 2-liter bottles should I buy?
```

**Response:** 
```
You need to buy 4 bottles.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the cost per vehicle per session if a $50 purchase covers 10 vehicles cleaned 5 times each?
```

**Response:** 
```
The cost is $1.00 per vehicle per session.
```

## Capabilities

### Consumption Math
The AI calculates concentrate volume based on surface area and dilution ratios.

### Inventory Auditing
Your agent compares current stock levels against planned cleaning schedules.

### Automated Shopping Lists
The AI generates a list of physical containers to buy based on identified deficits.

### Cost Tracking
The AI evaluates the financial impact of cleaning sessions per vehicle.

- Prevents stockouts by matching current inventory against upcoming cleaning needs.
- Reduces waste by calculating exact concentrate amounts per vehicle.
- Provides clear cost-per-wash data for better budget management.

## How It Works

Get your fleet logistics running by connecting this MCP to your preferred AI client.

1. Connect the MCP to Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf via Vinkius.
2. Provide your vehicle data, such as surface area and dilution ratios, to your AI client.
3. Ask the AI to calculate consumption or check your current inventory levels.
4. Receive a detailed purchase plan or cost analysis directly in your chat interface.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this MCP calculate chemical needs?**
It uses the vehicle surface area, the required dilution ratio, and the amount of solution used per unit area to find the exact concentrate volume.

**Can I use this to create shopping lists?**
Yes. When the tool identifies a shortage, it can generate a purchase plan that lists the specific number of containers you need to buy.

**What AI clients can I use with this MCP?**
You can use this with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

**Does this help with budgeting?**
Yes. It can analyze the cost efficiency of your cleaning sessions to show you the financial impact per vehicle.

**Do I need to host this myself?**
No. Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP, so you can connect and use it immediately.

**How do I calculate how much cleaner I need for one car?**
You can use the `calculate_session_consumption` tool. Provide the vehicle's surface area, the dilution ratio, and the solution volume required per unit area.

**Can I plan for a whole fleet at once?**
Yes. Use `estimate_inventory_needs` by providing the consumption data for all vehicles, the cleaning frequency, and your current stock levels.

**How does the tool handle purchasing?**
The `generate_purchase_plan` tool takes your net deficit and calculates exactly how many containers you need to buy based on the container size and unit price.
