# Hangar Capacity Scheduler AI Agent Connect > Hangar Capacity Scheduler manages the logistics of aircraft maintenance within aviation facilities. It lets your AI client handle complex scheduling by matching aircraft dimensions and equipment needs against specific hangar constraints. You can automate maintenance windows, check facility usage, and find alternative slots when primary schedules are full. ## Overview - **Category:** scheduling - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_KtpB21ezEacm1JOcFIoihdxr3x6RkEMzCbfm1lYq/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** hangar, maintenance, aircraft, capacity, scheduling, aviation-logistics ## Description You can stop manually checking hangar dimensions and equipment lists every time a maintenance request comes in. This MCP handles the heavy lifting of matching aircraft requirements to your facility's physical constraints. When you give your AI client a list of maintenance visits, it looks at the length, width, and height of the aircraft along with any specialized gear needed. It then finds the right hangar that fits those specs without creating scheduling conflicts. If a preferred slot is taken, the agent can automatically look for fallback options to keep your workflow moving. It also gives you a clear view of how much space you're actually using so you can plan for future arrivals. It's built to ensure that no aircraft is ever assigned to a space that's too small or lacks the necessary tools. ## Tools ### find_fallback_options This tool identifies alternative time slots when a requested maintenance visit can't be scheduled. It helps your agent find the next best option for a rejected request. ### analyze_hangar_utilization This tool provides a breakdown of hangar usage over a specific timeframe. Use it to see how much idle time or occupied time exists in your facility. ### get_available_hangars This tool lists hangars that meet specific aircraft requirements. You can filter by dimensions, required equipment, or access constraints. ### schedule_maintenance_visits This tool attempts to assign a batch of maintenance visits to available hangar spaces. It handles the logic of placing multiple aircraft into the schedule at once. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Find all hangars that can fit an aircraft with dimensions 30m length, 10m width, and 8m height, requiring specialized lifting equipment. ``` **Response:** ``` The available hangars for these requirements are Hangar-Alpha (35m x 12m x 10m) and Hangar-Gamma (40m x 15m x 12m). ``` **Prompt:** ``` Schedule these maintenance visits: Visit_001 (20m x 8m x 6m, 4h duration, priority 1) and Visit_002 (25m x 10m x 7m, 6h duration, priority 2). ``` **Response:** ``` Visit_001 is assigned to Hangar-Beta from 08:00 to 12:00, and Visit_002 is assigned to Hangar-Alpha from 09:00 to 15:00. ``` **Prompt:** ``` What is the current utilization of Hangar-Delta for the first week of July? ``` **Response:** ``` Hangar-Delta has a utilization of 65% for the requested period, with 120 hours occupied and 62 hours of idle periods. ``` ## Capabilities ### Dimension Matching The agent compares aircraft size against hangar clearance to prevent physical mismatches. ### Equipment Verification Your AI client checks if a hangar has the specific tools required for a maintenance task. ### Batch Scheduling The agent processes multiple maintenance requests at once to optimize hangar occupancy. ### Conflict Resolution The agent finds alternative slots when a primary maintenance window is unavailable. ### Utilization Tracking The agent calculates how much time each hangar remains occupied or idle. ## Use Cases ### Emergency Maintenance Scheduling When an aircraft needs immediate repair, the agent finds the nearest available hangar that fits its size. ### Capacity Planning Use utilization data to decide if you need to expand facility operations or adjust staffing. ### Bulk Visit Management Assign a week's worth of maintenance tasks to multiple hangars in a single command. ### Equipment Constraint Checks Ensure a specific aircraft is only sent to a hangar that has the necessary lifting or diagnostic tools. ## Benefits - Prevents aircraft from being assigned to hangars with insufficient clearance. - Automates the search for alternative slots when schedules are full. - Provides real-time data on hangar occupancy and idle periods. - Ensures specialized equipment requirements are met before scheduling. ## How It Works Connect your AI client to Vinkius to start managing hangar logistics immediately. 1. Connect your preferred MCP-compatible client to Vinkius. 2. Provide your aircraft dimensions and equipment needs to your agent. 3. The agent uses the MCP to query available hangar spaces. 4. The agent assigns the maintenance visits to the appropriate locations. 5. Review the final schedule or utilization reports generated by the agent. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How does the MCP handle aircraft that require special tools?** The agent uses the equipment constraints provided in the request to filter for hangars that have the necessary tools available. **Can I schedule multiple aircraft at the same time?** Yes, the schedule_maintenance_visits tool is designed to handle batches of maintenance visits at once. **What happens if a hangar is too small for an aircraft?** The agent will not assign the aircraft to that space. You can use the find_fallback_options tool to locate a suitable alternative. **How do I see if my hangars are being used efficiently?** You can ask your agent to analyze hangar utilization to get a breakdown of occupied and idle hours. **Which AI clients can use this MCP?** This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code. **How does the scheduler handle aircraft size constraints?** The `get_available_hangars` tool filters hangars by comparing aircraft dimensions against the hangar's interior dimensions and door clearance limits. **Can I resolve scheduling conflicts?** Yes, if a visit is rejected during scheduling, you can use `find_fallback_options` to identify alternative time windows or hangar IDs that meet the aircraft's requirements. **How is hangar utilization measured?** You can use `analyze_hangar_utilization` to get a detailed breakdown of occupied time versus available time for a specific hangar within a requested period.
