Calculate precise hydration percentages

When setting up a new module, you commit the MCP server config. Your whole team can then use it to calculate the exact dough hydration percentage from flour and liquid weights, enforcing a standard math process across all recipes. This means every developer uses the same, reliable calculation logic.

Classify dough texture for documentation

Need to write internal documentation or QA checks? Use this tool to classify dough texture. By providing hydration and a profile name, you generate standardized text that confirms if the crumb structure is appropriate for the intended bake. This keeps your team's knowledge base consistent.

Determine dough type for project scaffolding

When starting a new feature, Copilot can call this tool to determine the correct dough type based on flour and salt composition. This lets you automatically scaffold out all necessary files or boilerplate code required for bread, pizza, or focaccia. It makes onboarding new recipes painless.
