## Description

Managing a professional services agency usually means jumping between dozens of tabs to check project status, team availability, and profit margins. You spend half your day just trying to find out if a job is still profitable or which developer is free for the next sprint. This MCP changes that by bringing your COR data directly into your chat interface. Instead of hunting through menus, you simply ask your agent for updates on your portfolio or team members. Whether you are checking client details or auditing time logs, everything stays in one place. By connecting via Vinkius, you turn your AI client into a project coordinator that knows your business inside and out. You get the answers you need about task progress and resource allocation without ever leaving your workspace.
