# Baggage and Shipment Split Plan AI Agent Connect

> Baggage and Shipment Split Plan MCP acts as a logistical decision engine for your travel and transport needs. It looks at the weight, size, value, and urgency of your belongings to decide if they belong in a carry-on, checked bag, a shipment, or if you should just buy them locally when you arrive.

## Description

Stop guessing how much your luggage will weigh or whether you should ship gear ahead of time. This MCP takes your list of items and runs them through a logic engine that weighs physical constraints against your specific needs. If an item is too expensive to risk in checked luggage or too heavy for a carry-on, the tool finds the most logical alternative. You can assign items to carry-on, checked baggage, shipped goods, delayed shipments, or even decide to buy them at your destination to save space. It handles the math and the logistics so you can focus on the trip. Once the plan is set, your AI client can generate packing lists, shipping manifests, or even a recovery plan for things that won't arrive until after you do.
