This MCP server provides precise mathematical modeling for professional bookbinding. It calculates text block specifications using calculate_text_block_specs, determines cover board dimensions and material requirements via calculate_cover_and_binding_materials, and estimates secondary consumables like endpapers and thread with calculate_binding_consumables. It accounts for signature folding, spine width, paper grain direction, and specific binding types like case, perfect, and coptic binding.

Calculate the text block specs for a book with 100 pages, 150gsm paper, and 16-page signatures. The trim size is 150mm x 210mm.

The spine width is 10mm, you will need 7 sheets of paper for the 16-page signatures, and the paper grain should run parallel to the 210mm height.

What are the cover board dimensions for a case bound book with a 150mm width, 210mm height, and 10mm spine?

The cover boards will be 326mm wide and 216mm high, assuming a 3mm turn-in.

How much thread do I need for a Coptic bound book that is 200mm tall?

You will need approximately 120cm of thread to account for the sewing pattern and knots.

The `calculate_text_block_specs` tool uses the provided paper weight (gsm) to determine the caliper and subsequent spine width.
