## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for winemakers to manage Malolactic Fermentation (MLF). It calculates the ideal timing using `calculate_inoculation_strategy`, determines the required bacterial dosage with `determine_inoculation_rate`, identifies necessary nutrient support via `estimate_nutrient_needs`, and predicts the completion timeline using `predict_mlf_duration`. The engine accounts for environmental stressors like alcohol, pH, and SO2 to ensure bacterial viability.

## Tools

### predict_mlf_duration
Predicts how long the malolactic fermentation process will take to complete

### calculate_inoculation_strategy
Determines whether to use co-inoculation or sequential inoculation based on environmental stressors

### determine_inoculation_rate
Calculates the necessary amount of bacterial culture to add to the wine

### estimate_nutrient_needs
Identifies if and how much supplemental nutrients are needed to support the bacteria

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Should I use co-inoculation or sequential inoculation for a wine with 13% alcohol, pH 3.2, and 30 mg/L SO2?
```

**Response:** 
```
The recommended strategy is sequential inoculation due to the high stress score from the alcohol and SO2 levels.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How many days will MLF take if I have 2.0 g/L malic acid, a temperature of 20°C, and a dosage of 50 g/hL?
```

**Response:** 
```
The estimated duration for malic acid conversion is 12 days.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What nutrients are needed for a wine with 4.0 g/L malic acid and a stress score of 0.8?
```

**Response:** 
```
The required nutrient profile is high, with a suggested supplemental amount of 15.5 g/hL.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I decide between co-inoculation and sequential inoculation?**
Use the `calculate_inoculation_strategy` tool. It analyzes alcohol, pH, and SO2 levels to determine if the environment is too hostile for early inoculation.

**Can I predict how long my MLF will take?**
Yes, the `predict_mlf_duration` tool estimates the number of days until malic acid conversion is complete based on temperature and dosage.

**What factors influence the required bacterial dosage?**
The `determine_inoculation_rate` tool calculates dosage by considering the chosen strategy and environmental stressors like alcohol and SO2.
