This MCP gives you a framework to control the room.

It handles the logistics of the session, from timing the discussion to deciding which piece to show first. Once the session ends, you aren't left with a pile of vague notes. The MCP helps you translate what people said into a real plan of action. It's built to keep your creative process organized and ensures that every minute spent talking about your work leads to a specific improvement in your practice. ## Tools ### format_response_capture This tool provides a structured template to record feedback as it happens.
