Local Storage Upgrade Planner MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Calculate required storage capacity, hardware configurations, and cost efficiency.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides a suite of tools to plan storage infrastructure upgrades. It calculates total required capacity by accounting for current usage, growth rates, safety buffers, and backup overhead. Users can evaluate hardware configurations, rank them by cost-effectiveness, and perform detailed headroom analysis to ensure long-term system stability.

I have 500GB used, a 10% annual growth rate, want 20% free space, and a 1.5x backup overhead. How much total capacity do I need?

Based on your parameters, the total required capacity is 750GB.

I need 1000GB of storage. I have two options: a 1TB drive for $100 or a 2TB drive for $180. Which is better?

The 1TB drive is the most cost-effective option at $100, as it meets your minimum requirement of 1000GB.

If I buy a 4TB drive but only need 3TB, how much extra space will I have?

You will have 1TB of headroom, which represents a 33.3% excess capacity.

Use the `calculate_storage_needs` tool. You will need to provide your current used capacity, expected growth rate, desired free-space ratio, and the backup overhead multiplier.
