## Description

Managing a gaming venue requires knowing exactly how many seats are filled at any given moment. This MCP gives your AI agent the ability to monitor player occupancy and table distribution across your entire gaming area. Instead of walking the floor to count heads, you can simply ask your AI client for a status update. You can check if a specific table has open seats, see how many tables are currently empty, or get a high-level view of your total attendance rate. It turns raw occupancy data into actionable information for your agent, making it easy to manage floor space and player flow through a simple chat interface.
