# Plan container facilities. By mouse or with your AI agent.

With the klarx Container Planner, you can assemble office, sanitary, and storage containers from the klarx catalog to scale in 3D. Free and without login. Your AI agent can plan on request: It builds the facility from your site plan and queries the rental price via the klarx MCP Server.

[Open Container Planner](/de/container-planer/)

## Simply with Your Mouse

Place containers with a click, move, rotate and stack them. Dimensions and distances are correct, you'll see collisions immediately.

## Knows the klarx Catalog

Office, sanitary, WC and storage containers, double containers, 4-unit systems, stairs, platforms, tanks and power generators. Each element is assigned to a klarx rental category.

## Exterior and Interior View

Toggle floors on and off individually and switch to interior view: desks, kitchens, sanitary facilities and shelving are already set up.

## Export as PDF

A PDF with overview, floor plan, views and bill of materials for your specification or coordination. Save your project as a file and load it again later.

## With Your AI Agent

Your AI agent plans via a local MCP server: add site plan, place system, make changes by sentence. The integration is still experimental.

## Rental Request via the klarx MCP

Once the klarx MCP server is connected, your AI agent creates the rental request with all positions directly at klarx. You confirm before sending.

### From Site Plan to Rental Request in Your AI Agent

1. **Upload site plan** – Give your agent the site plan or sketch and describe what you need: offices, sanitary facilities, storage, power.
1. **Agent plans** – It places the plan to scale, positions containers from the klarx catalog into the marked area and checks the result in top view and 3D.
1. **Change by sentence** – "We're 30 people, please add showers." Every change appears live in the planner and can be undone.
1. **PDF and rental request** – The agent exports the PDF and creates the rental request with all line items via the klarx MCP server. You confirm before sending.

The integration is still experimental and runs via a local MCP server, for example with Claude Desktop or Claude Code. The web version of Claude is currently not supported.

### 1. Add Elements

Click **+** below or press **E**. Select a container building or individual elements from the klarx catalog and place them on the area with a single click. **Esc** ends the adding process.

### 2. Select, Move, Edit

Use the arrow (**A**) to select an element and drag it to its position. The editing panel opens on the right: container type, door, window, rotation, label, color, and rental period.

- **Shift + Click** selects multiple elements, **Shift + Drag** draws a selection rectangle
- **Arrow keys** move, **Shift + ← / →** rotates by 90°
- **Cmd/Ctrl + C / V** copies and pastes, **Delete** removes
- **Cmd/Ctrl + Z** undoes, **Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + Z** redoes

### 3. Camera and Views

Drag on empty space to rotate the view, use the mouse wheel to zoom. **Alt + Drag** or the middle mouse button pans, **F** frames the selection or the entire plan. Switch between exterior and interior view at the top (**I**), hide the upper floor in the top right.

### 4. Project and PDF Export

Under **Project**, enter the construction site, address, customer, and rental period and save the plan as a file. Under **Export**, generate a PDF with overview, top view, elevations with dimensions, and parts list. All keyboard shortcuts are shown by **?** in the toolbar.

## What does the Container Planner cost?

Nothing. The planner runs free in your browser, and no login is required.

## Do I need an AI agent?

No. You plan entirely with your mouse and keyboard. With an AI agent it's faster: It builds the system from your site plan or description.

## Which AI agents work?

The planner works with Claude. The integration is still experimental and runs via a local MCP server on your computer, for example with Claude Desktop or Claude Code. The web version of Claude is not currently supported. Claude is a trademark of Anthropic PBC.

## How do I connect my agent?

Click "Connect with Claude" in the bottom left of the planner, copy the prompt, and paste it into your agent. It will set up the local MCP server. After the initial setup, restart your agent once.

## Which elements can I plan?

The klarx catalog: office, sanitary, toilet, and storage containers in 10 and 20 feet, double containers and 4-unit systems, stairs, stair towers, platforms, wastewater tanks, diesel tanks, and generators. Existing buildings or obstacles can be drawn in as free elements.

## Can I also plan the containers inside?

Yes. In the interior view you see the fixtures: offices with desks, kitchens, toilets, showers, and storage racks. Office containers come in variants with hallway, kitchen, toilet, or shower.

## What exports are available?

A PDF with overview, floor plan, front and side views, and bill of materials. You save the plan itself via "Save Project" as a file and load it again later.

## Where are my plans saved?

In your browser. Via "Save Project" you also secure a plan as a file.

## How do I go from planning to rental?

With the klarx MCP server, your AI agent submits the rental request with all positions directly to klarx. Without an agent, you send us the PDF or book an appointment.
