Measure recipe capacities inside Windsurf

The `calculate_volume` tool measures the exact cubic capacity of any round, square, or rectangular baking pan. You give Cascade a recipe's pan requirements, and it instantly calculates the liquid volume. Cascade doesn't stop at one calculation. It uses the volumetric data to adjust ingredient ratios in your markdown files or application code automatically.

Find alternative baking pans using this MCP

The `find_equivalent_pan` tool matches your target volume with alternative pan shapes that have the same depth and surface area. This MCP compares surface areas to find a substitute that bakes at the same rate. Cascade chains this search with your active recipe files. It modifies the pan instructions in your baking app code without requiring manual copy-pasting.

Validate user-entered pan dimensions automatically

The `validate_dimensions` tool checks that your pan inputs are physically possible before you run any scaling formulas. It flags negative numbers, zero depths, and ridiculous aspect ratios instantly. Cascade runs this check behind the scenes whenever a user inputs new pan dimensions in your UI. This prevents division-by-zero errors in your baking calculators.
