# Moving Truck Sizer MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Moving Truck Sizer helps you figure out exactly how much space you need for a move. It calculates cubic footage based on your home size and specific bulky items like pianos or sofas, then matches that volume to the right truck size from a fleet of vans and trucks. It uses a 90% safety buffer to ensure you never overstuff your vehicle, saving you from making multiple trips or paying for a truck that's way too big. ## Overview - **Category:** utilities - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_NHDax4rKqEctWE7MmiDPzJDSuva13MUZior7FX4d/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** moving, relocation, truck-size, logistics-calculator, packing-estimate ## Description Moving Truck Sizer helps you figure out exactly how much space you need for a move. Planning a relocation usually involves a lot of guesswork about how much stuff you actually have. You might end up renting a truck that's too small and having to make two trips, or one that's way too big and wasting money. This Connector takes the headache out of the math. It looks at your home's layout, whether it's a studio or a four-bedroom house, and adds in the volume of big-ticket items like sectional sofas or appliances. It even accounts for a safety buffer so you aren't trying to cram everything into a truck until it's overflowing. Once it knows your volume, it picks the best vehicle for the job, from cargo vans to 26ft trucks. You can see the whole inventory to know what's available. It's a great way to get precise logistics handled quickly. Since it's part of the Vinkius catalog, you can pull these calculations into your daily workflow without switching tabs. ## Tools ### recommend_truck Suggests the best vehicle size from the fleet based on your calculated volume and safety rules. It helps you avoid overspending on trucks that are too large. ### estimate_volume Calculates the total cubic footage needed for a move based on home size and bulky items. It turns your inventory list into a usable volume number. ### get_truck_inventory Lists all available trucks and their specific capacities for your reference. Use this to see what's in the fleet before confirming a booking. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` I'm moving a 3-bed house with a lot of furniture. How big a truck do I need? ``` **Response:** ``` Based on a typical 3-bedroom home, your estimated volume is around 1,200 cubic feet. I recommend a 20ft truck to ensure everything fits comfortably. ``` **Prompt:** ``` What's the biggest truck you have and what can it hold? ``` **Response:** ``` The largest vehicle in the fleet is a 26ft truck. It has a maximum capacity of 1,600 cubic feet. ``` **Prompt:** ``` I have 1,500 cubic feet of stuff. Is a 26ft truck enough? ``` **Response:** ``` A 26ft truck is the right size for 1,500 cubic feet. However, that's over 90% of the capacity, so you'll need to pack very efficiently to make it fit. ``` ## Capabilities ### Calculate total cubic footage Determine the exact volume of space required for a move based on home size and furniture. ### Match volume to truck size Get a specific vehicle recommendation that fits your load while following safety rules. ### View fleet inventory See a full list of available trucks and their specific capacities in one place. ### Identify high-volume items Account for large objects like pianos or appliances in your total space requirements. ### Apply safety buffers Automatically ensure you don't exceed 90% of a truck's capacity to prevent overstuffing. ## Use Cases ### Homeowner planning a studio move A user tells the agent they have a 500 sq ft studio with a sofa.
