# Check Inventory (MCP-backed)

Query a live inventory system for BOM coverage.

## Prerequisites

- User has run `onboard` and set `inventory_source.type = "mcp"` with an `mcp_alias` pointing to a configured MCP server.
- The MCP server exposes some form of search/get tool against the user's inventory (e.g. `search_items`, `get_item`, `list_items`). Schemas vary by inventory system — discover the available tools at runtime.

## Flow

1. Read `config.json` and resolve the MCP alias. If unset or the MCP server isn't reachable, fall back to `check-onhand-coverage` and tell the user.
2. Discover the MCP server's available tools. Identify the search/lookup tool by name and description.
3. For each BOM line, query the inventory:
   - Try exact part number first.
   - Then try category + key attributes (e.g. "0.1uF capacitor 0603").
   - Capture qty on hand and storage location if the inventory exposes it.
4. Apply the same exact-match / substitute / no-match classification as `check-onhand-coverage`.

## Output

Write `<projects_dir>/<slug>/coverage.md` with:

- Have (exact match) — qty available, **storage location** if returned by the MCP server.
- Have (substitute) — with trade-off note.
- Need to order.

The storage location is what makes this skill more valuable than the static variant — the user can walk straight to the right bin/drawer.

## Failure modes

- MCP server unreachable → tell the user, suggest `check-onhand-coverage` as fallback.
- Tool schema doesn't match expectations → fall back to listing all items and grepping locally; warn the user the integration may need adjustment.
