# Grocery Bag Calculator AI Agent Connect

> Grocery Bag Calculator handles the math for your shopping logistics. It calculates exactly how many bags you need based on item counts and available capacities. Your AI client uses this to determine bag requirements, check if your bag sizes are efficient, and predict how many bags will be full versus partially filled.

## Description

You can stop guessing how many bags you'll need at the checkout or in the warehouse. This MCP handles the logistics of bag capacity and distribution. When you're planning a large grocery haul or managing inventory, your agent can use these tools to figure out the math instantly. You can check which bag types are available to see if they fit your specific needs. If you want to avoid wasted space, you can verify if your current bag selection is efficient for the number of items you have. The MCP also provides a breakdown of how items will actually sit in the bags, showing you exactly how many will be completely full and how many will only be partially filled. It's a straightforward way to manage packing and transport math without manual calculations.

## Tools

### get_bag_requirement
This tool calculates the total number of bags required for a specific quantity of items.

### list_bag_types
This tool shows you all the different bag capacity options available in the system.

### simulate_bag_distribution
This tool provides a breakdown of how many bags will be full and how many will be partially filled.

### validate_capacity_efficiency
This tool checks if your chosen bag capacity is an efficient fit for your item count.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How many bags do I need for 15 items if each bag holds 4 items?
```

**Response:** 
```
You will need 4 bags in total.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Will 12 items fit perfectly into bags that hold 6 items each?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, it is a perfect fit with no leftover items.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Show me the distribution for 10 items with a bag capacity of 3.
```

**Response:** 
```
You will have 3 full bags and 1 partial bag.
```

## Capabilities

- Eliminates manual math for bag counts.
- Identifies wasted space through efficiency checks.
- Provides clear visibility into bag fill levels.
- Standardizes bag capacity planning.

## How It Works

Connecting this MCP to your AI client gives you immediate access to logistics math.

1. Connect the MCP to your client like Claude or Cursor via Vinkius.
2. Tell your agent how many items you have and the bag capacity.
3. The agent calls the necessary tools to run the math.
4. You receive the exact bag count or distribution breakdown.
