# Storage Unit Size Planner MCP. AI Agent Connect

> Storage Unit Size Planner MCP handles the math for your moving or storage needs. It calculates required volume by accounting for item stackability and aisle space, then matches those needs against available units. Your AI client can rank options by budget or access frequency to find the most logical storage solution.

## Description

Stop guessing how many boxes will fit in a storage unit. This MCP takes your list of items and their dimensions to determine the actual space you'll occupy. It doesn't just add up raw volumes; it accounts for how items stack and the extra room you'll need to actually walk through the unit. Once you know your volume, your AI client can scan available unit options to find a match. You can tell your agent to prioritize units that are easier to access if you plan on visiting frequently, or focus on the lowest cost if you're looking for long-term storage. It turns a messy list of furniture and boxes into a clear, actionable plan with specific cost and space utilization reports.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I have three boxes: two are 2x2x2 and stackable, one is 3x3x3 and not stackable. I need a 20% aisle allowance. What is my required volume?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total required volume for your items, including the 20% aisle allowance, is 43.2 cubic units.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Which unit is best if I visit my storage once a month and I need at least 50 square feet of floor area?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on your low access frequency and floor area requirement, Unit ID 102 is the most cost-effective option.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Give me a summary for a 50x50x50 unit with my items.
```

**Response:** 
```
Your selected unit will cost $50 per month, utilizing 85% of the available volume with 7.5 cubic units remaining.
```
