## Description

If you use Pomodoro techniques to stay focused, you know the math can get annoying when you're trying to plan a long session. This MCP takes that mental load off your plate. Instead of manually counting how many minutes of rest you'll need over a four-hour stretch, you just tell your AI client your intended work blocks and break lengths. It does the rest. You can use it to check if your planned session is actually sustainable or to get a clear, step-by-step schedule of exactly when you should step away from the screen. It's a simple way to ensure your productivity system doesn't lead to burnout by miscalculating your downtime.

## Tools

### estimate_daily_rest_requirement
This tool calculates how much total rest you'll need based on your planned work hours.

### get_break_schedule
This tool generates a specific timeline of when each break occurs during your session.

### get_total_break_time
This tool finds the cumulative amount of rest time across all your planned cycles.

### validate_pomodoro_parameters
This tool checks your work and break durations to make sure your session settings are logical.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
How many total break minutes will I have after 10 Pomodoro cycles if my short break is 5 minutes and my long break is 15 minutes?
```

**Response:** 
```
You will have a total of 55 minutes of rest accumulated over 10 cycles.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Show me the break schedule for 4 cycles with 5 minute short breaks and 20 minute long breaks.
```

**Response:** 
```
Cycle 1: 5 minutes, Cycle 2: 5 minutes, Cycle 3: 5 minutes, Cycle 4: 20 minutes.
```

**Prompt:**

## How It Works

Connect the MCP to your client and start asking for rest calculations.

1. Connect the MCP to Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf via Vinkius.
2. Tell your AI client your work block and break durations.
3. The agent uses the tools to run the math.
4. Receive a clear schedule or total rest estimate.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I use this with Claude?**
You connect the MCP through the Vinkius platform, which makes it immediately available to your Claude client.

**Can it handle custom break lengths?**
Yes, you can specify any duration for short or long breaks when you ask your agent to calculate your schedule.

**Does it work with my existing Pomodoro app?**
This MCP is a standalone tool for your AI client to perform calculations, not a replacement for a timer app.

**What if my work blocks are irregular?**
The tools are designed to handle the math for your specific parameters, so you can define your own work and rest ratios.

**Do I need to host this myself?**
No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect and use it.

**How do I calculate the total rest time for my session?**
You can use the `get_total_break_time` tool by providing the number of cycles and the duration of your standard and long breaks.

**Can I see exactly when my breaks will happen?**
Yes, the `get_break_schedule` tool provides a detailed list of every break and its duration throughout your work session.

**How does the tool handle long breaks?**
The tools follow standard Pomodoro logic where a long break can be specified to occur after a certain number of cycles.
