## Description

Managing a household or a shared living space often leads to arguments about who did what and when. This MCP fixes that by turning chore management into a data-driven process. Instead of guessing who is free, you can use your AI agent to build a rotation that accounts for specific availability and individual preferences. It doesn't just list tasks; it balances the actual effort required for each job. You can verify if a specific person can take on more work or check the fairness of your current setup to prevent burnout. When it's time to switch tasks, the MCP provides the necessary instructions so nothing gets missed during the handoff. It's a practical way to keep shared spaces running smoothly without the constant negotiation.

## Tools

### calculate_fairness_score
This tool measures how evenly the workload is spread across your group. It gives you a clear metric to see if the distribution of effort is actually equitable.

### generate_rotation
This tool builds a complete, dated schedule for your chores. It uses user profiles and specific task requirements to create a finished plan.

### get_handoff_details
This tool pulls the specific instructions a person needs to take over a task. It ensures the next person knows exactly how to handle the chore.

### validate_user_availability
This tool checks if a specific person can actually handle a set of chores. It compares the task list against their current availability.

## Prompt Examples

```
Generate a 30-day chore rotation for Alice and Bob starting tomorrow.
```

**Response:** 
```
I've created the 30-day rotation. Alice handles vacuuming on Mondays, and Bob handles dishes on Tuesdays. I've also set a review point for day 15.
