## Description

You can stop caregiver burnout before it starts by giving your AI client a way to manage human limits. This MCP acts as a planning engine that enforces strict capacity rules and recovery periods. Instead of just guessing how much work a person can handle, your agent uses real data to build schedules that actually work for the long term. It monitors the caregiver pool to see when the current team is stretched too thin and flags the need for outside help. When requests come in that push people past their limits, the MCP helps you draft firm, polite messages to set boundaries. It also keeps families or organizations on track by generating structured agendas for regular wellness check-ins. You get a system that treats rest as a requirement rather than an afterthought.

## Tools

### generate_sustainable_rotation
This tool builds balanced schedules that distribute tasks among available helpers without exceeding anyone's individual capacity.

### identify_respite_needs
This tool detects when the current group of caregivers lacks enough coverage to handle the required workload.

### compose_boundary_messages
This tool drafts polite and firm text messages for caregivers to use when a requested task violates safety or rest rules.

### create_review_agenda
This tool produces a structured meeting outline to help families evaluate their care plan during periodic check-ins.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Generate a rotation for these helpers: [{'name': 'Alice', 'hours': 8}], tasks: [{'duration': 10}], maxDailyLoad: 8, minRestInterval: 12.
```

**Response:** 
```
The requested task duration of 10 hours exceeds the maximum daily load of 8 hours. Respite care is required to cover the remaining 2 hours.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I need to tell Bob that I cannot take the extra shift because I haven't had enough rest.
```

**Response:** 
```
I cannot accept this shift as it would violate my required rest interval and impact my ability to provide safe care.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Create a monthly review agenda for a family using an agency for support.
```

**Response:** 
```
Meeting Title: Monthly Care Sustainability Review. Agenda: 1. Review of previous workload violations. 2. Assessment of agency support utilization. 3. Adjustment of upcoming rotations.
```
