# Boathouse Connect MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Boathouse Connect MCP lets you manage your marina or rowing club through your AI client. It handles boat slip reservations, equipment inventory, member profiles, and practice schedules. You can check availability, create bookings, and update member records without leaving your chat interface. ## Overview - **Category:** erp-operations - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_8YACeosJpXOnSTgqmQ0l7dkotzSYZvgoqQfhAUwP/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** marina-management, reservation-system, inventory-tracking, facility-management, water-sports, equipment-management ## Description Managing a marina or a rowing club usually means jumping between tabs to check who's on the water, what gear is missing, and who's actually paid their dues. It's a constant cycle of checking dock availability, verifying member status, and ensuring that equipment like rowing shells and oars are ready for the next session. This connector changes that by letting you talk to your data instead of hunting for it. You can ask your agent to find a specific rowing shell, check if a dock is free for a weekend, or pull up a member's contact info in seconds. If you're tired of manual data entry and constant status checks, this Connector brings your entire operation into one conversation. It handles the heavy lifting of querying your database so you can focus on the people and the water. You can find this and thousands of other tools in the Vinkius catalog to get your agent connected to the systems you actually use every day. Instead of clicking through complex ERP dashboards to manage your maritime or rowing club operations, you get a direct line to your database. You can move from checking a practice schedule to creating a new reservation without ever leaving your chat interface. It turns a tedious administrative process into a simple conversation. ## Tools ### create_reservation Book a specific boat slip or piece of equipment for a user.
