Traction Pad Positioning Optimizer MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculates precise surfboard traction pad placement, arch geometry, and kick angles.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides a specialized optimization engine for surfboard traction pad placement. It calculates the optimal pad location, arch bar position, and kick angle by analyzing board tail width, rider stance, and wave conditions. Use calculate_pad_geometry to determine physical coordinates, validate_pad_fit to ensure physical viability on a specific board, get_wave_intensity_coefficient to translate wave types into mechanical coefficients, and optimize_stance_alignment to adjust positioning based on foot size and stance.

Calculate the pad geometry for a board with a 450mm tail width, 400mm stance width, 250mm back foot size, a pivot_heavy preference, and hollow waves.

The optimal pad center is located at 120mm from the tail edge with a kick angle of 15 degrees and an arch bar position at 85mm.

Will a pad that is 200mm wide and 300mm long fit on a board with a 350mm tail width?

Yes, the pad is viable with a clearance margin of 75mm.

What is the intensity coefficient for a crumbling wave?

The intensity coefficient for a crumbling wave is 0.3.

Wave type determines the intensity coefficient. For example, using `get_wave_intensity_coefficient` with a 'hollow' wave type will result in a higher coefficient, which leads to a larger `kickAngle` in the geometry calculations to prevent sliding during aggressive turns.
