# Flashcard Review Calendar AI Agent Connect

> Flashcard Review Calendar MCP acts as a scheduling engine that manages your study workload. It balances your upcoming due dates against your actual daily capacity to prevent burnout. Instead of guessing how much you need to study, your AI client can now plan your sessions, track overdue cards, and forecast how long it will take to clear your backlog.

## Description

Managing a massive deck of flashcards is a constant battle against time. If you ignore your overdue cards, the backlog becomes overwhelming. If you try to do too much at once, you burn out. This MCP solves that by acting as a smart scheduling layer between your study data and your AI client. 

You can use your agent to look at your daily limits and ask for a realistic plan. It won't just tell you what's due; it checks if you actually have the time to finish it based on your personal constraints. It handles the math of your study load, calculating exactly how much extra time you'll need to catch up if you fall behind. This turns your AI client into a dedicated study coordinator that keeps your learning on track without the mental load of manual scheduling.

## Tools

### calculate_backlog_impact
Use this to predict how much extra study time you'll need over several days to clear all overdue cards.

### get_card_urgency_report

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```

```

**Response:** 
```
Today you have two review sets scheduled: Set ID 'A1' with 15 cards (10 minutes) and Set ID 'B2' with 5 cards (15 minutes), totaling 25 minutes.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How many cards are currently overdue?
