## Description

This MCP server provides essential tools for winery capacity planning. It helps winemakers manage the complex relationship between liquid volume and physical storage. Use `get_barrel_inventory_requirements` to determine the number of physical barrels needed based on aging regimes and turnover rates. Calculate necessary fermentation volumes with `get_tank_capacity_needs`. Visualize seasonal space usage through `get_seasonal_space_utilization` to prepare for peak production periods, and optimize barrel maintenance with `optimize_barrel_rotation` to ensure maximum availability.

## Tools

### get_seasonal_space_utilization
Visualizes how cellar capacity changes throughout the year

### get_barrel_inventory_requirements
Determines how many physical barrels are needed to support the planned aging regimes

### get_tank_capacity_needs
Calculates the necessary volume for fermentation and primary storage tanks

### optimize_barrel_rotation
Suggests a replacement and cleaning schedule to maximize barrel availability

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How many barrels do I need for 5000L of annual production with a 12-month aging regime and a turnover rate of 1.5?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on your production of 5000L and a 12-month aging duration, you will need 4000 barrels to satisfy the aging requirements at a 1.5 turnover rate.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the required tank capacity for a fermentation volume of 2000L with a peak overlap factor of 1.2?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required tank volume is 2400L, and you should plan for at least 1 tank based on this requirement.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Show me the seasonal utilization for a production schedule of 1000L every month for a year with 6-month aging.
```

**Response:** 
```
The cellar utilization will steadily increase for the first 6 months as volumes accumulate, reaching a steady state of 6000L total volume in the cellar.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the number of barrels I need?**
You can use the `get_barrel_inventory_requirements` tool. Provide your annual production volume, the specific aging regimes for your wines, and your expected barrel turnover rate.

**Can I predict peak cellar usage?**
Yes, the `get_seasonal_space_utilization` tool provides a month-by-month breakdown of volume in the cellar and the percentage of maximum capacity used.

**How can I optimize my barrel cleaning schedule?**
Use the `optimize_barrel_rotation` tool. It suggests a replacement and cleaning schedule designed to align with periods of lowest cellar utilization.
