# Volleyball Rotation Counter AI Agent Connect

> Volleyball Rotation Counter MCP lets your AI client manage team rotations with precision. It handles the math of player movement, allowing you to establish current positions, calculate the next rotation, and forecast where players will be several service turns down the line. It also checks your sequences against standard clockwise rules to prevent illegal rotations.

## Description

Managing player rotations during a fast-paced volleyball match is difficult. This MCP gives your AI agent the logic needed to track exactly where every player is on the court. Instead of manually counting service turns, you can tell your AI client where the team is currently standing, and it will handle the rest. 

You can use it to verify that your lineup stays legal by checking sequences against standard clockwise rotation rules. If you are planning ahead for substitutions or tactical shifts, the MCP can forecast where players will end up several rotations from now. It turns your AI into a specialized sports assistant that understands the geometry and rules of the game, ensuring you never lose track of your lineup during a set.

## Tools

### calculate_next_rotation
This tool determines the very next position in the rotation sequence. It's used to find out where the team moves after a single service turn.

### get_current_position
This tool identifies the starting point for your rotation tracking. Use it to tell your AI where the players are right now.

### predict_future_position
This tool forecasts where players will be located after a specific number of service turns. It's helpful for planning long-term tactical shifts.

### validate_rotation_sequence
This tool checks a list of positions to ensure they follow standard clockwise rotation rules. It prevents illegal lineup errors.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
The team is currently in position 3. What will be the position after 2 rotations?
```

**Response:** 
```
After 2 rotations, the team will be in position 1.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the next position if the current position is 1?
```

**Response:** 
```
The next position is 6.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is the sequence 1, 6, 5 a valid rotation?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, that is a valid rotation sequence.
```

## Capabilities

### Position Tracking
Your AI uses this to maintain an accurate record of player locations on the court.

### Rotation Forecasting
The AI calculates where players will stand several turns into the future.

### Rule Validation
Your agent checks movement sequences to ensure they follow clockwise rotation standards.

### Sequence Calculation
The AI determines the immediate next position after a service turn.

## Use Cases

### Live Match Tracking
Keep an accurate log of player positions as the game progresses.

### Tactical Planning
Predict where players will be in three rotations to plan upcoming substitutions.

### Rule Compliance
Verify that a specific sequence of player movements follows clockwise rules.

### Training Drills
Use the rotation logic to simulate different game scenarios for players.

## Benefits

- Eliminates manual counting of service turns.
- Prevents illegal rotation errors through automated validation.
- Allows for tactical planning by predicting future player locations.
- Provides a mathematical baseline for player positioning.

## How It Works

Connect the MCP to your AI client to start managing rotations.

1. Connect your preferred AI client to the Vinkius hosted MCP.
2. Tell your AI the current player position.
3. Ask the AI to calculate the next move or predict a future position.
4. Use the validation tool to check any specific player sequences.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I use this with Claude or Cursor?**
You connect to the Vinkius hosted MCP once, and then your AI client can immediately use the rotation tools.

**Does this MCP track individual player names?**
This MCP focuses on the mathematical rotation positions and sequences rather than specific player names.

**Can it check if my rotation is illegal?**
Yes, the validate_rotation_sequence tool checks if your movements follow standard clockwise rules.

**Can I predict positions far in the future?**
Yes, the predict_future_position tool allows you to see where players will be after multiple service turns.

**Do I need to host this myself?**
No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use immediately after connection.

**How does the rotation direction work?**
The rotation follows a clockwise sequence. For example, if you use `calculate_next_rotation` on position 1, the next position is 6.

**Can I predict where the team will be in 5 rotations?**
Yes, you can use the `predict_future_position` tool to calculate the exact position after any number of rotations.

**How do I verify if a sequence of moves is correct?**
You can use `validate_rotation_sequence` to check if a list of positions adheres to the standard volleyball rotation rules.
