# Journal Page Planner is a layout tool. AI Agent Connect

> Journal Page Planner handles the math for your journal layouts. You assign percentage weights to different sections, and it calculates exactly how many pages each part needs. It even manages rounding remainders so your total page count stays perfectly accurate every time.

## Description

If you're designing a journal, you know the headache of trying to split a fixed number of pages into sections that feel right. You want 60% for daily logs and 10% for notes, but the math rarely lands on a clean whole number. This MCP takes that math off your plate. You provide the total page count and the desired weights, and your AI client does the heavy lifting. It ensures that every single page is accounted for, even when the percentages don't divide perfectly. Instead of manually adjusting numbers to make sure you don't end up with an extra page or a missing one, you just tell your agent what you want. It's a precision utility for anyone who needs to turn abstract layout ideas into a concrete, page-by-page plan.

## Tools

### get_distribution_summary
This tool provides a high-level overview of your finished distribution plan.

### get_section_distribution
This tool calculates the specific page count for each section based on your assigned weights.

### simulate_weight_adjustment
This tool lets you predict how changing a section's weight will shift the final page counts.

### validate_weight_configuration
This tool checks if your proposed weights are mathematically valid and sum to exactly 100%.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Divide 200 pages among three sections: Daily Logs (60%), Weekly Reviews (30%), and Notes (10%).
```

**Response:** 
```
Daily Logs: 120 pages, Weekly Reviews: 60 pages, Notes: 20 pages. Total: 200 pages.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have 150 pages. If I change the 'Notes' section from 5% to 10%, how many pages will it get?
```

**Response:** 
```
The 'Notes' section will now be allocated 15 pages.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if weights of 50%, 25%, and 20% are valid.
```

**Response:** 
```
The weights are invalid because they sum to 95% instead of 100%.
```

## Capabilities

### Percentage-based allocation
Your agent uses this to turn weighted percentages into specific page numbers.

### Remainder management
The MCP handles rounding so the total page count always matches your target.

### Weight validation
Your AI client checks your math to ensure all sections sum to 100%.

### Layout simulation
The agent tests how different weight changes will impact the final page distribution.

## Use Cases

### Planner Design
You define the ratio of weekly planners to monthly overviews to get a total page count.

### Budgeting Page Space
You allocate specific percentages to different user activities within a notebook.

### Print Proofing
You verify that a proposed set of section weights is mathematically sound for a print run.

### Layout Iteration
You simulate how increasing a notes section affects the size of your daily log section.

## Benefits

- Eliminates manual rounding errors in page counts.
- Ensures total page counts always match the target exactly.
- Allows for rapid testing of different section proportions.
- Removes the need for manual math during the design process.

## How It Works

Connect the MCP to your AI client and start defining your layout requirements.

1. Connect your preferred client like Claude or Cursor to Vinkius.
2. Tell your agent the total number of pages you have available.
3. Provide the percentage weights for each section you want to include.
4. The MCP calculates the exact page distribution for you.
5. Review the final summary to confirm the layout meets your needs.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this MCP handle rounding?**
The tool automatically manages rounding remainders to ensure the sum of all sections always equals your total page count.

**Can I use this with Claude?**
Yes, you can connect this MCP to any compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

**What happens if my weights don't add up to 100%?**
The validation tool will identify that the weights are invalid and notify you that they do not sum to 100%.

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

**Can I test changes before finalizing my layout?**
Yes, you can use the simulation tool to see how adjusting a weight will change the page distribution.

**How do I ensure all pages are accounted for?**
The `get_section_distribution` tool automatically calculates a remainder to ensure the sum of all section pages matches your total page count.

**Can I test changes before finalizing my plan?**
Yes, use `simulate_weight_adjustment` to see how changing a specific section's weight will impact its page count and the overall remainder.
