## Description

This MCP server provides specialized financial and logistical modeling for wine storage operations. It allows AI agents to calculate the physical footprint required for inventory using `get_pallet_requirements`, determine recurring monthly expenses with `calculate_monthly_storage_cost` (supporting both ambient and temperature-controlled environments), and estimate labor costs via `calculate_handling_fees`. Additionally, it enables strategic decision-making by comparing third-party logistics against owned facility costs using `compare_warehouse_models`.

## Tools

### calculate_handling_fees
Calculate the one-time labor and equipment costs for moving wine in and out

### calculate_monthly_storage_cost
Calculate the recurring cost of holding inventory in a specific environment

### compare_warehouse_models
Compare the financial efficiency of using a third-party provider versus owning a facility

### get_pallet_requirements
Determine the physical footprint required for a given volume of wine

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I have 500 cases of wine and each pallet holds 40 cases. How many pallets do I need?
```

**Response:** 
```
You will need 13 pallets to accommodate 500 cases.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the monthly storage cost for 10 pallets in temperature-controlled storage at $5 per pallet?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total monthly storage cost for 10 pallets is $50.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate handling fees for 20 pallets with an inbound fee of $10 and an outbound fee of $15.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total inbound fee is $200, the total outbound fee is $300, and the total handling cost is $500.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the number of pallets needed for my wine inventory?**
You can use the `get_pallet_requirements` tool by providing the total case volume and the number of cases that fit on a single pallet.

**Does this tool account for temperature-controlled storage?**
Yes, the `calculate_monthly_storage_cost` tool allows you to specify either 'ambient' or 'temperature_controlled' storage types to reflect realistic climate-control pricing.

**Can I compare the cost of using a 3PL versus owning my own warehouse?**
Yes, the `compare_warehouse_models` tool is designed to compare the total cost of third-party providers against the fixed and variable costs of an owned facility.
