# Dime.Scheduler MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Dime.Scheduler lets you manage field service teams and project schedules through your AI agent. It connects your planning board to your ERP, making it easy to move tasks, check equipment availability, and see who's working where in real-time. You can pull job metadata, track units of work, and organize your board with custom categories, all through natural conversation with your agent. ## Overview - **Category:** erp-operations - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_eDeIYFd8kIKd6KsD3q7Pf1ojJeoiycDFWAWF2mEg/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** resource-planning, scheduling, workforce-management, task-tracking, erp-integration, operations ## Description Managing a fleet of field service teams usually means jumping between spreadsheets and complex planning boards to see who's free and what's next. It's a headache for anyone trying to keep resources moving without double-booking a technician or a piece of heavy machinery. This Connector changes that by letting you talk directly to your schedule. Instead of clicking through dozens of filters, you just ask your agent to find a specific job or see who's available for a new appointment. You can check your entire resource directory to see what tools are in the shop or which people are on-site. It pulls that data directly from your Dime.Scheduler account so your agent always knows the current state of your operations. When you find this in the Vinkius catalog, you're essentially giving your AI a seat at the planning table. It handles the heavy lifting of data retrieval so you can focus on the actual strategy of moving your teams forward. No more manual toggling between complex boards or digging through task lists. Your agent acts as your dedicated resource coordinator and scheduling strategist. You can quickly see the status of active projects, identify pending units of work, and maintain a clear overview of your daily commitments. It turns a complex, visual planning board into a conversational interface that works as fast as you can type. You can get a bird's-eye view of your team's capacity and ensure that every job has the people and equipment it needs to get done on time. This isn't just about looking at data; it's about making decisions faster and keeping your operations running smoothly without the usual friction of manual updates. ## Tools ### list_tasks See every individual unit of work that needs a spot on the board.
