## Description

Planning a scrapbook shouldn't feel like a math problem. This MCP takes the guesswork out of your physical layout design by calculating exactly how much space your photos and journaling will occupy. Instead of guessing how many pages to buy or how many photos will fit on a single sheet, you can ask your AI client to run the numbers for you. 

You can check if your planned layout is too crowded to be practical or if you've left enough room for memory pages. It's a simple way to ensure your finished album looks balanced and that you have enough materials on hand to finish the job. Whether you're working on a single photo book or a massive family archive, this tool keeps your planning organized and your layouts clean.

## Tools

### estimate_memory_needs
This tool suggests how many extra memory pages you might want based on your photo count.

### get_photo_page_requirement

### get_total_scrapbook_plan

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
