Cycling Power Calculator

Cycling Power Calculator MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculate precise power requirements for cycling based on speed, gradient, and wind.

3 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides a deterministic engine to calculate the physiological and mechanical power requirements for cyclists. By accounting for gravitational resistance, rolling resistance, and aerodynamic drag, it helps riders understand the exact wattage needed to maintain specific speeds. It handles complex variables like wind direction (headwind, tailwind, or crosswind), altitude-based air density changes, and drivetrain efficiency. Use calculate_power_requirement for single scenarios, simulate_climb_profile for multi-stage climbs, or get_aerodynamic_sensitivity to analyze how wind or frontal area impacts your effort.

How much power do I need to ride at 30 km/h on a 5% gradient with a 10 km/h headwind? My total weight is 85 kg.

To maintain 30 km/h on a 5% gradient with a 10 km/h headwind at 85 kg, you need 342 Watts.

What is my power-to-weight ratio if I need 250 Watts and I weigh 70 kg?

Your power-to-weight ratio is 3.57 W/kg.

How much will my power requirement increase if my frontal area increases by 10%?

Increasing your frontal area by 10% will increase your required power by 12.4 Watts.

The engine adjusts the relative airspeed based on the wind direction. A headwind increases the drag force, requiring more power, while a tailwind decreases it.
