# Audiobook Duration Aggregator MCP. AI Agent Connect

> Audiobook Duration Aggregator MCP handles the math for your listening libraries. It lets your AI client sum up total hours, find average book lengths, and pull specific statistics from time-stamped lists. It also checks that your duration strings follow the HH:MM:SS format so your data stays clean.

## Description

If you manage large collections of audiobooks, calculating how much time you'll spend listening is a chore. This MCP handles those calculations for you. Instead of manually adding up hours and minutes, you can just hand a list of durations to your AI client. It will tell you exactly how long your total queue is or what the average length of a book in your collection looks like. You can also pull specific stats, like identifying your longest or shortest titles, to better plan your listening schedule. To keep things running smoothly, the MCP includes a validation tool that ensures every time string you provide follows the standard HH:MM:SS format. This prevents errors when you're processing large datasets or messy lists of book lengths.

## Tools
