How does the tool calculate the replacement schedule?

The `get_replacement_schedule` tool projects dates based on the specific change interval of each instrument relative to the provided start date.

Does existing stock affect the total cost?

Yes, `calculate_replacement_costs` uses the provided spare stock to reduce the total cost. A cost is only incurred when the required string set is not available in stock.

Can I see a summary of the entire plan?

Yes, you can use `get_plan_summary` to get a high-level overview including total planned replacements and costs per month.

This MCP server provides a specialized planning engine for managing instrument maintenance. It allows AI agents to project future string replacement needs using get_replacement_schedule, calculate financial impacts with calculate_replacement_costs, monitor current inventory via get_inventory_status, and generate executive reports with get_plan_summary. It bridges the gap between maintenance logs and budgetary planning.
