# Quilt Square Calculator AI Agent Connect

> Quilt Square Calculator handles the geometry of your fabric layouts. Instead of manual math, your AI client calculates how many patches you need, how they fit into your dimensions, and how much material you'll lose to border cuts. It turns quilt dimensions into a concrete shopping list and cutting plan.

## Description

Planning a quilt shouldn't feel like a high school geometry exam. This MCP handles the heavy lifting of calculating patch counts and material requirements so you can focus on the sewing. You can give your AI client your target quilt dimensions and the size of your squares, and it will tell you exactly how they will lay out. 

If you want to avoid buying too much or too little fabric, you can use this to figure out the total number of patches required for full coverage. It also checks if your chosen square size actually fits your quilt dimensions without needing awkward partial cuts. If you do need to cut pieces for borders, the MCP estimates the material lost during that process. It bridges the gap between a rough idea and a precise cutting list.

## Tools

### calculate_material_wastage
This tool estimates how much fabric you'll lose when cutting partial squares for your borders.

### check_fit_integrity
This tool checks if a specific square size fits your quilt dimensions perfectly without requiring any extra cutting.

### estimate_total_patches_needed
This tool calculates the total number of individual patches, including partials, you need to cover the quilt area.

### get_square_distribution
This tool determines how many full squares fit in your grid and identifies the dimensions of the remaining border.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I have a quilt that is 50x60 units. How many 5-unit squares will fit in a full grid?
```

**Response:** 
```
A 50x60 quilt with 5-unit squares will contain 120 full squares.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Will 10-unit squares fit perfectly in a 36x36 quilt?
```

**Response:** 
```
No, 10-unit squares will not fit perfectly. There will be a width gap of 6 units and a height gap of 6 units.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How many total patches do I need for a 36x36 quilt using 5-unit squares?
```

**Response:** 
```
You will need 64 total patches to ensure full coverage of the 36x36 quilt.
```

## Capabilities

### Grid Layouts
Your agent calculates how many full squares fit into a specific quilt area.

### Fabric Estimation
The AI determines the total number of patches to buy for complete coverage.

### Fit Validation
Your client checks if square sizes match quilt dimensions to avoid partial cuts.

### Waste Tracking
The MCP estimates material lost when cutting pieces for borders.

## Use Cases

### Pre-cut Planning
Determine exactly how many squares to cut before you start sewing.

### Fabric Shopping
Calculate the total number of patches needed to ensure you have enough material.

### Border Design
Estimate how much material will be lost when cutting partial squares for the edges.

### Dimension Verification
Check if a chosen square size will fit a specific quilt size without gaps.

## Benefits

- Eliminates manual math errors in quilt planning.
- Prevents fabric shortages by calculating total patch requirements.
- Reduces wasted fabric by estimating border cut losses.
- Validates square sizes against quilt dimensions before you start cutting.

## How It Works

Connect your AI client to Vinkius and start asking math questions about your quilt.

1. Connect your preferred MCP-compatible client to Vinkius.
2. Provide your quilt dimensions and square sizes to your AI agent.
3. The agent uses the specific math tools to run the calculations.
4. Receive precise counts for squares, patches, and material waste.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What can this MCP do for my quilting projects?**
It calculates square distributions, total patch counts, material wastage, and checks if square sizes fit your quilt dimensions perfectly.

**How do I use this with Claude or Cursor?**
You connect to Vinkius once, and the tools become available in your AI client to perform calculations on your behalf.

**Can it tell me if my squares will fit without cutting?**
Yes, the check_fit_integrity tool validates if a square size is mathematically perfect for your quilt dimensions.

**Does it help with fabric waste?**
Yes, the calculate_material_wastage tool estimates the amount of material lost when cutting partial squares for borders.

**Will it help me buy the right amount of fabric?**
Yes, you can use estimate_total_patches_needed to find the total number of patches required for full coverage.

**How do I know if my square size will fit perfectly?**
You can use the `check_fit_integrity` tool. It will tell you if the square size is a perfect fit or if there will be gaps at the edges.

**How many patches should I buy for my quilt?**
Use the `estimate_total_patches_needed` tool. It calculates the total number of patches required to ensure full coverage, including partials.

**Can I calculate how much fabric I will waste?**
Yes, the `calculate_material_wastage` tool provides the total wasted area and the usage efficiency of your patches.
