Script thermal calculations in Claude Code

The `calculate_cooking_duration` tool scripts out your entire kitchen timeline inside Claude Code by converting raw meat parameters into precise minutes. This MCP brings scientific roasting formulas right to your command line. Your agent pipes the output directly to your terminal. Start with the base temp.

Calculate carryover heat momentum

The `estimate_carryover_impact` tool calculates the post-oven temperature surge inside Claude Code to prevent overcooking. Trust me, ignoring this thermodynamic reality leads to dry, ruined meat. Watch the carryover. That is how you hit perfect medium-rare, and that's the science.

Automate resting schedules

The `calculate_rest_duration` tool outputs the exact resting window required for the meat fibers to relax while Claude Code manages your terminal session. Cutting too early drains the moisture and ruins the texture. Don't rush this step. You can pipe this directly into your system timer to alert you when it is time to carve.
