## Description

Fixing a loose button or a stuck zipper shouldn't feel like guesswork. This MCP gives your AI client the technical knowledge needed to walk you through garment repairs. Instead of generic advice, you get phased instructions tailored to the specific fastener you are dealing with. You can check if your current sewing kit is actually sufficient for the task before you start, preventing wasted time and ruined fabric. It also acts as a safety check. If you are working with delicate vintage silk or complex heavy-duty snaps, the MCP will tell you if a repair is too risky for a home user and if you should head to a professional instead. It covers everything from simple button sewing to checking the pull-strength and alignment of snaps and hooks.
