# Tailoring Time Total is a production MCP. AI Agent Connect

> Tailoring Time Total lets your AI client manage and analyze time spent on garment production. You can log specific task durations, pull up full work histories for individual items, and calculate total production times including safety buffers. It turns your agent into a production manager that understands exactly how much time each stage of tailoring takes.

## Description

You can use this MCP to move away from messy spreadsheets and manual logs. Instead of guessing how long a piece takes to finish, you tell your AI client what happened, and it handles the math. When you're in the middle of a production run, you can log a task like hemming or sleeve attachment, and the data is immediately ready for analysis. 

If you need to see where your bottlenecks are, your agent can pull a summary of time spent per production stage. This helps you see if assembly is taking longer than expected or if finishing is running behind. You can also look up the complete history of a specific garment to see every step taken so far. When you're quoting new jobs, you can ask your agent to calculate the total time required for a garment, and it can even factor in a safety buffer so you don't undercharge for your labor.

## Tools

### add_tailoring_task
This tool logs a new task duration for a specific garment. You use it to record work as it happens.

### get_category_summary
This tool aggregates all task durations by their production stage. It shows you how much time is being spent in specific categories like assembly or finishing.

### get_garment_total_time
This tool calculates the total time spent on a garment. It can include an optional safety buffer in the final calculation.

### list_garment_tasks
This tool pulls a detailed list of every task performed on a garment. Use it to review the full work history of an item.

## How It Works

You connect the MCP to your AI client and start talking to it about your production data.

1. Connect the MCP to your preferred client like Claude or Cursor via Vinkius.
2. Tell your agent to log a task using the garment ID and duration.
3. Request summaries or total times to analyze your production flow.
4. Review the recorded history to track progress on specific items.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I add a new task to a garment?**
You simply tell your AI client to add a task, providing the garment ID, the task name, the duration, and the production category.

**Can I include a buffer in my time calculations?**
Yes, when you ask for the total time of a garment, you can instruct your agent to include a safety buffer in the calculation.

**How can I see how much time is spent on assembly versus finishing?**
You can ask your agent to provide a category summary, which aggregates all task durations by their specific production stage.

**What clients can I use with this MCP?**
You can use this MCP with any compatible client, such as 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 as soon as you connect your client.
