## Description

Planning event entry logistics usually involves messy spreadsheets and guesswork regarding safety margins. This MCP changes that by giving your AI client the ability to run precise inventory calculations. You can model different scenarios, such as multi-day festivals where attendees keep one band, or events where you issue fresh wristbands every single day. 

Instead of manually calculating buffers, you just tell your agent your attendee count and desired safety margin. It handles the math for base requirements and adds the extra stock needed to cover lost or broken bands. You can also pull high-level procurement summaries to hand off to your purchasing department. It's a direct way to turn attendee numbers into actionable shopping lists without the manual arithmetic errors.
