## Description

Moving is a logistical headache, but calculating your supplies shouldn't be. This MCP takes the guesswork out of packing by providing your agent with the math needed to plan a move. You can figure out exactly how many physical boxes to buy or how many items will be left over after you fill your current supply. It also helps you see if you are wasting space by generating efficiency reports. If you are unsure about your numbers, the tool can validate your packing parameters to ensure your plan actually works mathematically. It turns a messy pile of items into a structured packing list that your AI client can manage for you.

## Tools

### calculate_packing_needs
This tool determines how many boxes will be completely full and how many individual items will remain unpacked.

### get_packing_efficiency_report
Use this to see a report on how well you are utilizing the capacity of your boxes.

### get_total_box_requirement
This tool calculates the total number of physical boxes you need to have on hand for your move.

### validate_packing_parameters
This tool checks if your proposed packing numbers and box capacities are mathematically possible.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How many full boxes and leftover items will I have if I have 25 items and each box holds 10?
```

**Response:** 
```
You will have 2 full boxes and 5 remaining items.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How many total boxes do I need for 50 items if each box holds 12?
```

**Response:** 
```
