## Description

Running a professional art studio means managing a lot of small, essential tools. If you don't keep track of your brushes, you'll end up with broken bristles or missing sizes right when you need them. This MCP gives your AI agent the ability to look directly at your brush inventory and give you real-time data. You can ask your agent to check if your brushes are still in good condition or if you have enough of a specific type for a new project. It handles the tedious work of auditing your collection, calculating size distributions, and summarizing your inventory tiers. You get a clear picture of your supplies without having to manually count every single item in your bins.
