## Description

You can stop manually counting business days on a calendar. This MCP gives your AI agent the ability to handle complex logistics math instantly. When you provide an order date and a lead time, it calculates the final delivery date by skipping Saturdays, Sundays, and any specific holidays you list. It's built for supply chain planning where missing a weekend or a bank holiday can throw off an entire schedule. You can verify if a specific date is a working day or find the very next available business day to keep your operations moving. It also includes a validation step to make sure your holiday lists are formatted correctly before you run calculations. It's a reliable way to ensure your shipping estimates and delivery windows stay accurate.
