## Description

Managing break times shouldn't be a manual math problem. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to process break logs and turn them into actionable compliance data. You can hand over a list of timestamps or durations, and your agent will immediately tell you if a worker has exceeded their allowed time or if certain breaks are hitting a threshold that needs attention. It is built for anyone managing shifts who needs to ensure labor laws are followed without spending hours on a calculator. Whether you are looking for a quick summary of daily breaks or need to find specific outliers in a large dataset, this tool handles the heavy lifting. You just provide the data, and your agent provides the answers.
