## Description

Hosting a group can get complicated when you're trying to balance game times, keep people fed, and make sure the money situation is fair. This MCP gives your AI client the tools to manage those logistics for you. Instead of manually calculating how much everyone owes for pizza or trying to figure out how to fit three rounds of a long board game into a two hour window, you just ask your agent to do it. It can build a timed schedule for your specific games, organize players into balanced teams, and keep a running list of what snacks you need. When the night is over, it handles the math for shared expenses. It turns your AI client into a dedicated event coordinator that stays on top of the details while you focus on playing.
