# Garden Area Calculator AI Agent Connect

> Garden Area Calculator handles the math for your landscaping projects. It calculates surface areas for different bed shapes, determines the volume of soil or mulch you need based on depth, and estimates the total cost of your supplies. Connect it to your AI client to turn simple measurements into a complete material list.

## Description

Planning a garden shouldn't involve a calculator and a notepad. This MCP handles the geometry and volume math for you. You can give your AI client the dimensions of your garden beds, whether they are rectangular or circular, and it will find the exact surface area. Once you know the area, you can specify how deep you want your soil or mulch to be. The MCP then calculates the total volume required so you don't overbuy or run short. It even handles the pricing math to give you a total cost estimate for your supplies. It's a practical way to move from a rough idea to a shopping list without manual errors.

## Tools

### get_circular_area
This tool finds the surface area of circular garden beds using the radius.

### calculate_material_volume
This tool determines the total volume of soil or mulch needed based on the area and your desired depth.

### estimate_material_cost
This tool calculates the total price for your garden supplies based on the volume required.

### get_rectangular_area
This tool calculates the surface area for rectangular garden beds using length and width.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the area of a rectangular garden that is 5 meters long and 3 meters wide?
```

**Response:** 
```
The area of the rectangular garden is 15 square meters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have a circular garden with a radius of 2 meters. How much area does it cover?
```

**Response:** 
```
The circular garden covers approximately 12.57 square meters.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much soil do I need for a 10 square meter area with a depth of 0.2 meters?
```

**Response:** 
```
You will need 2 cubic meters of soil.
```

## Capabilities

### Shape-based area math
Your agent uses this to find the square footage of both circular and rectangular beds.

### Volume estimation
The AI uses this to translate surface area and depth into cubic units of soil or mulch.

### Budget planning
Your agent calculates the total cost of materials to keep your project within budget.

## Use Cases

### New Bed Setup
Calculate the exact amount of soil needed for a newly dug rectangular garden bed.

### Mulch Application
Determine the volume of mulch required to cover a circular garden area to a specific depth.

### Project Budgeting
Estimate the total cost of soil and mulch before heading to the garden center.

### Space Planning
Find the surface area of different garden shapes to plan plant spacing.

## Benefits

- Eliminates manual math errors in material ordering.
- Converts simple dimensions into actionable shopping lists.
- Provides instant cost estimates for landscaping supplies.

## How It Works

Connect the MCP to your AI client and start providing dimensions.

1. Connect the MCP to Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf via Vinkius.
2. Provide your garden dimensions to your AI client.
3. The AI uses the area tools to find the surface size.
4. The AI uses the volume and cost tools to finish the plan.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What AI clients can I use with this MCP?**
You can use this MCP with any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

**Can I calculate soil for circular beds?**
Yes, the MCP includes a tool specifically for finding the area of circular beds.

**Does this MCP help with budgeting?**
Yes, it can estimate the total cost of your materials once the volume is calculated.

**How do I get the volume of mulch needed?**
You provide the area and the desired depth, and the MCP calculates the volume for you.

**Do I need to host this myself?**
No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use immediately.

**How do I calculate the area of my rectangular garden?**
You can use the `get_rectangular_area` tool by providing the length and width of your garden bed.

**Can I estimate the cost of mulch?**
Yes, after calculating the required volume, use `estimate_material_cost` with your local unit price to get the total cost.

**What units are supported?**
The tools work with any consistent units you provide, such as meters or feet, as long as you remain consistent across calculations.
