# Gallery Wall Spacing Calculator AI Agent Connect > Gallery Wall Spacing Calculator MCP handles the math for your linear frame layouts. It calculates the total horizontal span, determines the number of gaps needed, and verifies that your planned spacing actually fits your wall space. Your AI client uses these tools to turn a list of frame widths into a precise installation plan. ## Overview - **Category:** design - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_z5g0X2ab1gcmwT9M7Y78dMPfISTnyrqeZZimXmqM/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** gallery-wall, interior-design, frame-spacing, layout-planning, measurement ## Description Planning a gallery wall usually involves a lot of manual measuring and guesswork to ensure everything fits perfectly. This MCP removes that friction by giving your AI client the ability to run precise geometric calculations for linear arrangements. You can provide a list of frame widths and specific gap requirements, and the tool will tell you exactly how much wall space you need to clear. It also helps you double check your work. If you have a specific gap size in mind, the tool can verify if that spacing is mathematically possible for your set of frames. Instead of sketching layouts on paper and recalculating constantly, you just give your agent the dimensions and let it handle the spatial logic. It's a straightforward way to ensure your frames aren't too cramped or too spread out before you ever pick up a hammer. ## Tools ### get_frame_distribution_summary This tool provides a high-level summary of your frame set. It helps your agent understand the total and average widths of your collection. ### get_gap_count This tool calculates the exact number of spaces between frames in a linear row. It ensures your agent knows how many gaps to account for. ### get_total_width This tool determines the total horizontal span required for a set of frames. It factors in both the frame widths and your chosen uniform spacing. ### validate_spacing_feasibility This tool checks if your requested gap size is mathematically possible. It prevents you from planning a layout that won't fit your constraints. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` What is the total width needed for three frames that are 10, 15, and 20 inches wide with 2-inch gaps? ``` **Response:** ``` The total width required is 50 inches, with 2 gaps. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Give me a summary of these frame widths: 12, 12, 18, 24. ``` **Response:** ``` You have 4 frames with a total frame width of 66 inches and an average width of 16.5 inches. ``` **Prompt:** ``` How many gaps will I have if I hang 5 frames in a row? ``` **Response:** ``` There will be 4 gaps between 5 frames. ``` ## Capabilities ### Total Span Calculation Your agent calculates the exact horizontal inches needed for a full row of frames. ### Gap Verification The tool checks if your desired spacing is physically possible for the number of frames you have. ### Frame Set Analysis Your agent summarizes the total and average widths of a collection of frames. ### Gap Counting The tool determines the number of spaces required between a specific number of frames. ## Use Cases ### Linear Gallery Walls Calculate the exact width needed to hang a row of frames with consistent gaps. ### Space Constraint Checking Verify if a specific set of frames and gaps will fit within a limited wall area. ### Inventory Summarization Get a quick breakdown of total and average widths for a new batch of frames. ### Layout Planning Determine the number of gaps required for any number of frames in a row. ## Benefits - Eliminates manual math errors when calculating wall spans. - Prevents layout failures by validating spacing feasibility. - Provides instant summaries of frame collections. - Reduces time spent sketching and re-measuring layouts. ## How It Works Connect your client to Vinkius and start sending dimensions to your agent. 1. Connect your MCP-compatible client to Vinkius. 2. Provide your frame widths and desired gap sizes to your agent. 3. The agent calls the necessary tools to perform the calculations. 4. Receive precise measurements for your wall layout. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can I use this with Claude?** Yes, you can use this MCP with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf. **Does this work for vertical layouts?** This MCP is specifically designed for linear, horizontal gallery wall arrangements. **How do I get started?** You connect once through Vinkius, and the tools are immediately available to your agent. **What if my spacing isn't possible?** The validate_spacing_feasibility tool will check your math and let you know if the layout is invalid. **Do I need to host this myself?** No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. **How do I calculate the total width of my wall layout?** You can use the `get_total_width` tool by providing an array of your frame widths and the desired gap size between them. **Can I check if my desired gap size is possible?** Yes, the `validate_spacing_feasibility` tool allows you to verify if a minimum gap size is valid for your specific set of frames. **How many gaps will there be between my frames?** The `get_gap_count` tool calculates this for you; for a linear arrangement, the number of gaps is always one less than the total number of frames.
