## Description

Stop guessing if that expensive jacket was worth it. This MCP turns your AI client into a personal wardrobe economist by tracking the relationship between what you paid and how often you actually use your clothes. You can log every time you pull an item out of your closet and let your agent do the heavy lifting on the math. It calculates the cost per wear for specific items, compares different pieces to see which offers better long-term value, and provides a high-level view of your entire collection's utility. It's a simple way to change how you think about shopping and clothing ownership. By keeping a running tally of usage, you move past the initial purchase price and start seeing the real economic impact of your fashion choices.
