## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for enologists and cellar masters to model oxygen ingress in wine barrels. By analyzing wood species, grain tightness, and toasting levels, you can use `calculate_otr` to determine the Oxygen Transmission Rate. The server also allows for long-term planning using `predict_cumulative_uptake` and `analyze_barrel_lifecycle`, and helps predict chemical changes in the wine via `predict_phenolic_evolution`.

## Tools

### analyze_barrel_lifecycle
Provides a comprehensive summary of a barrel's oxygen performance over its aging cycle

### calculate_otr
Calculates the current Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) for a specific barrel configuration

### predict_cumulative_uptake
Determines the total amount of oxygen that will have entered the wine after a specified duration

### predict_phenolic_evolution
Predicts the change in phenolic concentration based on the oxygen exposure

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the oxygen transmission rate for a French oak barrel with medium toast at 15 degrees Celsius?
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) for this configuration is 0.45 mg/L/month.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much total oxygen will enter a barrel with an OTR of 0.5 mg/L/month over 12 months with a perfect bung seal?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total cumulative oxygen uptake after 12 months will be 6.0 mg/L.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Predict the phenolic changes for 5 mg/L of oxygen uptake with 200 mg/L initial tannins and 150 mg/L initial anthocyanins.
```

**Response:** 
```
The predicted change is a decrease of 2.5 mg/L in tannins and a decrease of 4.2 mg/L in anthocyanins.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the oxygen ingress for a specific oak type?**
You can use the `calculate_otr` tool by providing the wood species, grain tightness, toast level, and storage temperature.

**Can I predict how tannins will change over time?**
Yes, the `predict_phenolic_evolution` tool estimates the change in tannin and anthocyanin concentrations based on total oxygen uptake.

**Does the tool account for barrel aging?**
Yes, the `analyze_barrel_lifecycle` tool models how oxygen permeability evolves as the barrel ages.
