How does the packing algorithm work?

It uses a greedy approach, sorting items by priority score and adding them if they fit within the weight limit.

Can I use this for different weight limits?

Yes, you can specify any weight limit in kilograms to calculate your strategy.

What happens if an item is too heavy?

If adding an item would exceed the specified weight limit, that item is added to the list of items left behind.

This MCP server provides advanced tools for travelers to solve the knapsack problem for luggage. Using calculate_packing_strategy, you can determine which items to pack based on their priority and weight. You can also use evaluate_capacity_utilization to see how well you used your limit and summarint_priority_distribution to understand your item importance levels.
