## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools to analyze the environmental and economic impact of wine packaging. Use `calculate_per_bottle_impact` to determine the CO2e footprint of a single bottle based on its weight, closure type, and transport distance. Use `calculate_case_logistics` to find the total weight of a shipping case. You can also use `compare_packaging_options` to evaluate the trade-offs between lightweight and premium glass, or `estimate_freight_cost_impact` to see how weight changes affect shipping expenses.

## Tools

### calculate_case_logistics
Calculates the physical weight and shipping profile for a standard shipping case

### calculate_per_bottle_impact
Determines the specific carbon footprint of a single bottle of wine

### compare_packaging_options
Evaluates the environmental and logistic trade-offs between two different bottle weight profiles

### estimate_freight_cost_impact
Estimates how changes in bottle weight affect the economic cost of shipping

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the carbon footprint of a 0.5kg bottle with a cork closure shipped 500km by road?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total carbon footprint for this bottle is 0.85 kg CO2e.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much does a case of 12 bottles weigh if each bottle is 0.6kg and contains 0.75kg of wine?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total case weight is 16.2 kg.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Compare a 0.4kg lightweight bottle to a 0.7kg premium bottle for a 12-bottle case over 1000km by sea.
```

**Response:** 
```
Switching to the lightweight bottle results in 4.2 kg of weight savings and a 15% reduction in carbon footprint.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How is the carbon footprint calculated?**
The footprint is calculated by summing the production impact of the glass and closure with the transport impact based on weight and distance.

**Can I compare different bottle weights?**
Yes, use the `compare_packaging_options` tool to see the carbon and weight savings when switching to lighter bottles.

**Does this tool account for shipping costs?**
Yes, the `estimate_freight_cost_impact` tool calculates how changes in bottle weight influence total freight expenses.
