How does this MCP handle seam allowances?

The calculate_block_pieces capability automatically factors in seam allowances so the pieces you cut result in the correct finished size.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, you can connect this MCP to any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf through Vinkius.

Will it tell me if I need to piece my backing?

Yes, the calculate_fabric_requirements capability checks your backing dimensions against standard fabric widths and will tell you if piecing is necessary.

Does it calculate sashing?

Yes, you can include sashing measurements when using the calculate_quilt_layout capability to get the total quilt size.

Do I need to host this myself?

No, Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and start using the capabilities.

How does the capability handle seam allowances?

The capability automatically adds a 1/2 inch seam allowance to standard pieces and a 7/8 inch allowance for half-square triangle components to ensure accuracy.

Can I calculate yardage for on-point quilt settings?

Yes, by using calculate_quilt_layout with the isOnPoint parameter set to true, the capability calculates the correct dimensions and subsequent fabric needs.

What fabric width should I use?

You can specify your fabric's usable width (typically 42 or 44 inches) in the calculate_fabric_requirements capability to get accurate yardage results.

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 3 capabilities

Capability set01 / 01

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 3 available through Quilting Block Calculator.

01
Calculate quilt layout
This capability calculates the final physical dimensions of your finished quilt. It factors in your block arrangement along with any sashing or borders you plan to use.
02
Calculate block pieces
This capability determines the specific cutting dimensions for every fabric component in a pattern. It accounts for seam allowances so your finished pieces match your design.
03
Calculate fabric requirements
This capability finds the total yardage needed for your fabric, batting, and backing. It also identifies if your backing fabric width will require piecing.

One connector, every AI

Quilting Block Calculator works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Quilting Block Calculator to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
