## Description

Managing a shared laundry room shouldn't feel like a full-time job. This MCP helps you set up a system that actually works for everyone in the house. Instead of arguing over who left their clothes in the washer, you can establish clear protocols and booking windows that respect everyone's time and the machine's capacity. 

Your AI client can act as the household coordinator. It looks at how many people live in the house, how many machines you have, and any utility constraints like quiet hours to build a schedule. It handles the math of load limits so no one person hogs the machines, and it can even draft the notices you need to send to the group chat. Whether you're managing a large student house or a shared apartment, this MCP turns messy laundry schedules into a predictable, automated routine.

## Tools

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
We have 4 residents and 3 washing cycles available per day. How many loads can each person do?
```

**Response:** 
```
With 3 cycles available for 4 residents, each person is allocated 0 full loads if no priority is set, or you can prioritize specific days to ensure everyone gets access.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does this MCP handle machine availability?**
The AI uses the get_booking_windows tool to find available slots based on your resident requests and specific utility constraints.

**Can I use this to assign cleaning duties?**
Yes, you can use the assign_maintenance_tasks tool to distribute tasks like cleaning filters among household members.

**What happens if someone leaves clothes in the washer?**
You can use the generate_forgotten_laundry_protocol tool to create a set of instructions for handling laundry left in machines.

**Does it work with my existing AI tools?**

**How does it ensure everyone gets a fair turn?**
The calculate_load_limits tool determines how many loads each resident can perform to keep usage balanced.

**How does the tool handle urgent laundry needs?**
Urgent needs are prioritized during the capacity calculation. The `calculate_load_limits` tool subtracts high-priority loads from the total machine capacity before distributing the remaining slots among residents.
