## Description

Planning a presentation usually involves a lot of guesswork regarding how much time you actually need. This MCP removes that uncertainty by giving your AI client the math it needs to build a realistic schedule. You can determine your total runtime by providing a slide count and a preferred pace, or you can ask for specific pacing recommendations based on the type of talk you are giving. Whether you are prepping a high-speed pitch or a dense technical walkthrough, the tool provides the logic to keep you on track. It also lets you see a high-level summary of your planned session so you can spot timing issues before you step on stage. It is a practical way to ensure your content fits your allotted slot without rushing through critical points or dragging on too long.
