## Description

If you have a massive stack of books to get through, this MCP handles the math for you. Instead of guessing how many pages you need to read to finish a book by a certain date, you can let your AI client do the heavy lifting. You can set specific deadlines and choose how you want to pace yourself, whether that means reading the same amount every day or tackling more pages early on. The tool looks at your historical reading speed to make sure the plan it builds is actually realistic. It prevents you from setting goals that are too intense to maintain. Once a plan is set, you can quickly check your progress and targets to stay on track.

## Tools

### calculate_plan_distribution
This tool creates specific daily page targets based on your chosen deadline and preferred pacing style.

### get_reading_velocity
Use this to estimate how many days a book will take based on your current reading speed.

### summarize_plan_metrics
This provides a high level overview of your generated reading plan for a quick check.

### validate_reading_capacity
This tool checks your proposed schedule against your past reading habits to see if it is too intense.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I have a 300-page book and I read 10 pages a day. How many days will it take me to finish?
```

**Response:** 
```
It will take you 30 days to finish the book.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Create a reading plan for a 500-page book starting today (2024-01-01) and ending on 2024-01-20 using linear pacing.
```

**Response:** 
```
Your daily target is 25 pages per day from 2024-01-01 to 2024-01-20.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I usually read 5 pages a day. Is a plan to read 20 pages a day too much?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, that plan has an intensity score of 4.0, which is significantly higher than the recommended limit.
```

## How It Works

Connect the MCP to your AI client and start planning.

1. Connect the Reading Plan Builder MCP to your client via Vinkius.
2. Tell your agent how many pages the book has and your target deadline.
3. Specify if you want a steady pace or to read more at the beginning.
4. Let the agent validate the plan against your reading speed.
5. Follow the daily page targets generated by the tool.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the MCP know how fast I read?**
You provide your reading velocity to the agent, which it then uses to calculate how long books will take.

**Can I make a plan that is easier at the end?**
Yes, you can choose different pacing styles, such as front-loaded plans, when generating your schedule.

**What if the plan is too hard for me?**
The validate_reading_capacity tool checks your proposed plan against your historical reading patterns to warn you if it is too intense.

**Which AI clients can I use this with?**
You can use this MCP with any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code.

**Do I need to host this myself?**
No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you, so it is ready to use immediately after you connect.

**How do I estimate how long it will take to finish my book?**
You can use the `get_reading_velocity` tool. Provide the total number of pages, chapters, or words, and your daily reading speed to get an estimated number of days.

**Can I choose different pacing styles for my reading plan?**
Yes, when using `calculate_plan_distribution`, you can choose between 'linear' pacing for equal daily amounts or 'front-loaded' pacing to do more reading at the beginning.

**How can I check if my reading plan is too difficult?**
Use the `validate_reading_capacity` tool. By comparing your proposed daily target against your historical average, the tool provides an intensity score to show if the plan is reasonable.
