# Pot Size Upgrade Selector AI Agent Connect > Pot Size Upgrade Selector helps you move plants into the right containers without guesswork. It calculates the necessary space based on current root width, plant height, and how much extra room you want to leave for new growth. Your AI client handles the math and checks your inventory to find the best matches instantly. ## Overview - **Category:** inventory-management - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_yA8pvGr1QcayYX424lkoOz0e34fXhzcTDdE2nNhX/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** plants, pot-selection, transplanting, botany, inventory ## Description Transplanting plants is a balancing act between giving roots enough room to breathe and maintaining container stability. This MCP takes the guesswork out of that process. Instead of manually measuring and comparing sizes, you give your AI client the current dimensions of the plant, and it does the heavy lifting. It looks at the root-ball width and height to find pots that meet your specific clearance requirements. It doesn't just find any pot; it identifies the best options for long-term stability and growth. You can also verify if the sizes you need are actually in stock before you start your work. It's a practical way to manage nursery or home garden inventory while ensuring plant health through precise spatial planning. ## Tools ### calculate_growth_capacity This tool estimates the extra room a specific pot provides. It calculates how much space is available for new root development. ### check_inventory_availability This tool checks your current stock levels. It filters your potential pot choices against what you actually have on hand. ### get_compatible_pots This tool identifies all pot sizes that meet a plant's physical needs. It finds matches based on the minimum requirements you provide. ### rank_pot_options This tool sorts compatible pots into a prioritized list. It ranks them based on how well they balance stability with room for new growth. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Find me some pots for a plant with a 10cm root-ball width and I want 5cm of clearance. The plant is 30cm tall. ``` **Response:** ``` I found three compatible pots. The best option is the Standard Growth Pot (ID: pot-std-02) with a 16cm diameter, which provides the exact 5cm clearance you requested while maintaining excellent stability for a 30cm plant. ``` **Prompt:** ``` What is the growth capacity for a 12cm diameter pot with 500ml volume for my plant with a 10cm root-ball? ``` **Response:** ``` The pot provides a diameter buffer of 2cm and a volume ratio of 1.4 relative to the current root mass. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Are the large specimen pots currently available in stock? ``` **Response:** ``` The Large Specimen Pot (ID: pot-spec-01) is currently in stock and available for selection. ``` ## Capabilities ### Size Matching Your agent finds pots that fit specific root-ball and height measurements. ### Growth Estimation Your agent calculates how much room is left for roots to expand in a new container. ### Inventory Verification Your agent checks if the required pot sizes are currently in your stock. ### Stability Ranking Your agent prioritizes pot options that won't tip over based on plant height. ## Use Cases ### Batch Transplanting Select appropriate containers for hundreds of seedlings at once based on their current root width. ### Inventory Planning Check if you have enough large specimen pots in stock before starting a major repotting project. ### Growth Monitoring Determine when a plant has outgrown its current pot by checking its growth capacity. ### Stability Assessment Avoid top-heavy plants by choosing pots that provide the best stability for a given height. ## Benefits - Reduces errors in container selection by using exact measurements. - Prevents over-potting by calculating specific growth capacity. - Speeds up transplanting workflows by checking stock automatically. - Improves plant stability by ranking pots against plant height. ## How It Works Connect your AI client to Vinkius to start using these tools immediately. 1. Connect your preferred MCP-compatible client to Vinkius. 2. Provide your plant's current measurements to your AI agent. 3. The agent uses the MCP to find and rank compatible pot sizes. 4. The agent verifies that your chosen pots are in stock. 5. You receive a prioritized list of ready-to-use container options. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How does the MCP decide which pot is best?** It uses the rank_pot_options tool to sort choices based on how much room they provide for growth and how stable they will be for the plant's height. **Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?** Yes, you can connect this MCP to any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf. **Does it check if I actually have the pots in my warehouse?** Yes, the check_inventory_availability tool filters the available pot sizes against your current stock levels. **What measurements do I need to provide?** You should provide the root-ball width, the plant height, and any specific clearance you want between the roots and the pot wall. **How does it handle plant growth?** The calculate_growth_capacity tool estimates the volume and diameter buffer available for new root development in a selected pot. **How does the tool determine if a pot is compatible?** A pot is considered compatible if its internal diameter is strictly greater than the sum of the current root-ball width and the requested clearance. **How are the pot recommendations ranked?** Pots are ranked by balancing the requested clearance with stability requirements. The tool avoids recommending excessively large pots that might cause over-watering issues. **Can I check if a specific pot is in stock?** Yes, the tool includes functionality to check real-time inventory availability for specific pot IDs.
