## Description

You can stop guessing whether a repair is worth your time or if you're about to ruin a delicate fabric. This MCP acts as a decision-support system for clothing maintenance. When you have a torn seam, a broken zipper, or a loose button, you can feed those details into your AI client. The MCP looks at the manufacturer's care instructions, what tools you actually have in your sewing kit, and your personal sewing experience. It then builds a structured plan that fits your budget and your schedule. Instead of trial and error, you get a specific path forward that respects the garment's integrity. It helps you decide if a fix is a quick DIY job or if you need to take it to a professional tailor.
