## Description

If you're managing a massive watchlist or planning a film festival, you don't want to manually add up minutes. This MCP gives your AI client the specific tools needed to handle movie durations accurately. You can feed it a list of runtimes, and it will handle the conversion from raw minutes into hours and minutes. 

It's built to prevent errors in your data. You can use it to check if your list of durations is valid before you start calculating totals. It also helps you summarize your media collections by providing a quick count of movies alongside the total time they require. Instead of getting a raw number, you can have your agent generate human-readable time strings that make sense in a conversation or a report. It's a simple way to turn messy duration data into organized, actionable time estimates.
