## Description

You can use this MCP to navigate the messy details of creative publishing. Instead of juggling spreadsheets to track rights and approval steps, you let your AI client handle the logic. It looks at the specific terms of a publication offer and compares them against your own rules for rights and distribution. Once you decide to move forward, the MCP builds the actual roadmap for the project. It identifies exactly when a project needs to stop for a formal sign-off and organizes how technical assets move from your hands to the publisher. It also keeps track of what happens after the work goes live, making sure you follow up on all necessary requirements. It turns complex legal and logistical constraints into a structured plan your agent can follow.
