## Description

The MRP Calculator MCP server enables AI assistants to perform Material Requirements Planning calculations based on inventory data, forecasts, and delivery schedules. It exposes a single tool, calculate_order_need, which takes inputs including SKU location, current balance, open orders, delivery schedule, and forecast periods to determine optimal order quantities. The implementation features comprehensive input validation, batch size optimization, and detailed calculation steps with projected inventory balances. Built with TypeScript and the Model Context Protocol SDK, it handles data processing through a standardized interface, making it particularly valuable for supply chain managers and inventory planners who need to make data-driven ordering decisions without switching to specialized MRP software.
