## Description

Moving Truck Sizer helps you figure out exactly what truck size you need for a move. Planning a relocation is usually a guessing game where you end up either renting a truck that's too small to fit your life or paying for a massive one you don't need. This MCP takes the guesswork out of the logistics by acting as a digital moving coordinator. You can tell your agent about your home, such as a small studio or a four-bedroom house, and it'll crunch the numbers to estimate your total cubic footage. It knows that a piano or a sectional sofa takes up way more room than a standard box, so it accounts for those high-volume items automatically. Once the volume is set, it picks the best fit from a fleet of cargo vans and trucks, always sticking to a 90% capacity rule so you aren't trying to cram everything in at the last second. It's a handy addition to the Vinkius catalog for anyone who wants to get the moving logistics right the first time without the headache of manual calculations or the stress of overstuffing a vehicle. You get a clear picture of what you actually need before you ever sign a rental agreement. This means less time spent measuring furniture and more time focused on the actual move. It turns a messy logistical hurdle into a few simple questions and answers.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I am moving from a 1200 sq ft 2-bed apartment and I have a piano and a sectional sofa. How much space will I need?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on your 2-bed apartment and bulky items, the estimated volume is approximately **850 cubic feet**. 

This fits best in a **15ft truck**. 

*Note: This leaves you with plenty of room for standard boxes while keeping your large furniture safe.*
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the capacity of the largest truck available?
```

**Response:** 
```
The largest vehicle in our fleet is the **26ft truck**, which has a maximum capacity of **1600 cubic feet**.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I have an estimated volume of 1500 cubic feet. Which truck should I use?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a volume of 1500 cubic feet, the **26ft truck** is recommended.

## Capabilities

### Calculate cubic footage
The MCP estimates the total space your belongings will take up based on your home type and specific items.

### Recommend truck size
It identifies the most efficient vehicle for your specific load volume.

### View fleet inventory
You can see a full list of available trucks and their maximum capacities.

### Apply safety buffers
The system ensures your load never exceeds 90% of a truck's capacity to prevent overstuffing.

### Account for bulky furniture
It automatically adjusts volume estimates for high-impact items like pianos or sectionals.

## Use Cases

### The Apartment Move
A user has a 2-bed apartment and a piano. The agent uses estimate_volume to find the cubic footage and then recommend_truck to find a 15ft truck.

### The Fleet Check
A moving company manager wants to know what's available. They use get_truck_inventory to see all 10ft to 26ft options.

### The Dense Load
Someone has 1500 cubic feet of stuff. The agent identifies that a 26ft truck is needed but warns them about the 90% capacity limit.

### The Furniture Audit
A user lists five large sectional sofas. The agent uses estimate_volume to see if a cargo van is enough or if they need a 20ft truck.
