## MCP tools (5)

### `count_text` (~202 tokens)

Count words, sentences and pages

Count the words, characters, sentences and paragraphs in a text, and estimate how many pages it fills at a given font, font size and line spacing. Inputs: text, and optional font (times new roman, arial, calibri, georgia, courier new or verdana, default times new roman), font_size in points (default 12) and spacing (single, 1.5 or double, default double).     The page count is an estimate from typical words per page, so a word processor may differ by a little. Also returns an estimated reading time at 238 words per minute. Example: "Count the words in this essay and estimate the pages in Times New Roman 12 double spaced.

Input parameters:

- `font` (string): Font name. Default times new roman.
- `font_size` (number): Font size in points. Default 12.
- `spacing` (string): Line spacing. Default double.
- `text` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `characters` (number)
- `characters_no_spaces` (number)
- `estimated_pages` (number)
- `font` (string)
- `font_size` (number)
- `paragraphs` (number)
- `reading_minutes` (number)
- `sentences` (number)
- `spacing` (string)
- `words` (number)

### `readability_scores` (~140 tokens)

Readability scores

Score how hard a text is to read with three standard formulas: Flesch Kincaid grade level (plus the Flesch reading ease score), Gunning Fog index and SMOG index. Each grade is roughly a US school grade, so 12 is the end of high school and 16 is a college degree. Input: text.     SMOG is built for samples of 30 sentences or more, so on shorter text the tool still returns a number but marks it as less reliable. Example: "Give me the Flesch Kincaid, Gunning Fog and SMOG scores for this paper.

Input parameters:

- `text` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `complex_words` (number)
- `flesch_kincaid_grade` (number)
- `flesch_reading_ease` (number)
- `gunning_fog` (number)
- `reading_ease_label` (string)
- `sentences` (number)
- `smog` (number)
- `smog_reliable` (boolean)
- `syllables` (number)
- `words` (number)

### `style_flags` (~193 tokens)

Style flags

Flag common style problems in an essay: sentences in the passive voice, sentences that start with the same word as a neighbour (or three or more times), filler words and phrases such as very, just, in order to, and sentences that are too long. Inputs: text, and optional max_sentence_words (default 30), the length above which a sentence counts as long. Sentence numbers start at 1 and follow the order of the text, so number 3 is the third sentence. The sentence_list field gives each passive or long sentence with its number, and the text summary ends with a line listing those numbers.     The checks are simple pattern rules, so treat them as prompts to reread, not as errors. Example: "Flag passive voice and filler words in my draft.

Input parameters:

- `max_sentence_words` (integer): Sentence length that counts as long. Default 30.
- `text` (string, required)

Output parameters:

- `filler` (array)
- `filler_count` (number)

- `repeated_openers` (array)
- `sentence_list` (array)
- `sentences` (number)

### `check_word_limit` (~222 tokens)

Check a word limit

Compare an essay against a word limit. Inputs: text, limit (the maximum word count), optional minimum (a lower bound), optional tolerance_percent (how far over the limit is still acceptable, default 0, a common rule is 10), optional exclude_references (cut everything from a heading line such as References, Works Cited or Bibliography to the end) and     optional exclude_quotes (leave out block quotes that start with > and text inside double quotes). Returns the counted words, how many are left or over, and what was excluded. Example: "Is this under 2000 words if I leave out the works cited and quotes?.

Input parameters:

- `exclude_quotes` (boolean): Leave out quoted passages. Default false.
- `exclude_references` (boolean): Leave out the references section. Default false.
- `limit` (integer, required): Maximum number of words.
- `minimum` (integer): Minimum number of words.
- `text` (string, required)
- `tolerance_percent` (number): Percent over the limit that is still fine. Default 0.

Output parameters:

- `allowed_maximum` (number)
- `counted_words` (number)
- `excluded_quote_words` (number)
- `excluded_reference_words` (number)
- `limit` (number)
- `minimum` (number|null)
- `status` (string)
- `total_words` (number)
- `words_over` (number)
- `words_remaining` (number)

### `word_frequency` (~192 tokens)

Word frequency

Find the words an essay uses most, to spot overused or repeated terms. Inputs: text, and optional top (how many words to list, default 10), min_count (fewest uses for a word to be listed, default 2) and include_common_words (also count small words such as the, and, of and to, default false).     Case is ignored, and words under 3 letters are skipped unless include_common_words is true. Each word comes with its count and its share of all the words in the text. Example: "Which words do I overuse in this essay?.

Input parameters:

- `include_common_words` (boolean): Also count small common words. Default false.
- `min_count` (integer): Fewest uses for a word to be listed. Default 2.
- `text` (string, required)
- `top` (integer): How many words to list. Default 10.

Output parameters:

- `top` (number)
- `total_words` (number)
