VAM (Velocità Ascensionale Media) is the vertical meters gained per hour, a standard metric for measuring climbing intensity in cycling.

How can I compare two different climbs?

You can use the `compare_climb_segments` tool by providing the elevation gain and duration for both attempts.

Can I check if my climb data is valid?

Yes, the `validate_climb_segment` tool checks if your elevation gain and duration are mathematically valid for analysis.

This MCP server provides specialized tools for cycling performance analysis. It allows AI agents to calculate the vertical ascent rate (VAM) using get_climb_rate, verify segment data with validate_climb_segment, categorize climbing intensity with get_climb_intensity_tier, and compare different climbing attempts using compare_climb_segments.
