# Dinner Leftover Portion Planner AI Agent Connect

> Dinner Leftover Portion Planner MCP handles the math for your meal prep. Instead of guessing how much food you have left, your AI client calculates exactly how to split a single batch of cooking into tonight's dinner, tomorrow's lunch, freezer bags, and emergency reserves.

## Description

Stop guessing if you have enough food for the week. This MCP takes your total cooked yield and breaks it down into specific categories based on how you actually eat. You can tell your agent exactly how many people are eating tonight and how many lunches you need for the work week. It handles the division so you don't have to. 

If you're planning a big batch of chili or lasagna, you can use this to ensure you don't accidentally eat your entire freezer reserve in one sitting. It checks your math to make sure your planned portions don't exceed what you actually cooked. You can also get a breakdown of how much food is sitting in each storage category, like how much is ready for the fridge versus how much is tucked away in the freezer. It's a simple way to make sure your cooking efforts actually stretch as far as you intended.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I made 10 portions of lasagna. 4 people are eating tonight, and I want 2 lunches for tomorrow. How should I distribute the rest?
```

**Response:** 
```
With 10 portions total, you can serve 4 people tonight, pack 2 lunches, and you will have 4 portions remaining for the freezer or reserve.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have 5 portions of chicken. Can I feed 3 people tonight and have 3 lunches ready?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, you only have 5 portions available, which is not enough to cover 3 diners and 3 lunches (6 portions total).
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have 8 portions of stew. Suggest a reserve amount for me.
```

**Response:** 
```
A recommended reserve for your 8 portions is 0.8 portions (10% buffer).
```

**Does this help with freezer storage?**
Yes. It can calculate how much to set aside for the freezer and provide a summary of all food grouped by storage type.

**Do I need to manually do the math?**
No. The MCP handles all the division and distribution math for you based on your instructions.

You can use the `validate_yield_capacity` tool to check if your total food volume is sufficient for your planned diners and lunch portions.

**Can I calculate how much to put in the freezer?**
Yes, `calculate_portion_distribution` allows you to specify exactly how many portions you want to set aside for the freezer.

**How much reserve should I keep?**
The `suggest_optimal_reserve` tool can recommend a safe buffer based on your total yield and the number of people eating.
