How is the surge multiplier calculated?

The multiplier starts at 1.0 and increases based on rain intensity, peak hour timing, and whether the location is in a CBD during peak hours, up to a maximum cap of 2.5.

Can I check if it is currently peak hour?

Yes, you can use the `get_peak_status` tool to determine if a specific time falls within the high-demand morning or evening windows.

Does rain affect the price?

Yes, the `estimate_surge_multiplier` tool adds a factor of 0.2 for every 5mm/hr of rainfall intensity.

This MCP server provides deterministic surge multiplier and fare estimation for ride-hailing services. It calculates price adjustments by analyzing rain intensity, peak commuting windows, and CBD location status. Use estimate_surge_multiplier to get a full breakdown of factors and the final estimated fare, or get_peak_status to check if a specific time falls within high-demand periods.
