## Description

You can now manage the entire lifecycle of library books through your AI client. Instead of jumping between spreadsheets and database interfaces, you just tell your agent what you need to know. This MCP gives your agent the specific tools required to monitor active loans and check if a reader is on track to finish a book before it's due. If a book is currently unavailable, your agent can handle the reservation process for you. When it's time to move books back to the main branch, the MCP organizes those returns into logical transport groups to make the physical logistics easier to manage. It's a direct way to bridge the gap between your library's data and your daily workflow.
