## Description

Running a salon means constantly balancing supply and demand. If you run out of a popular shade mid-service, you lose money. If you overstock, your cash is tied up in bottles sitting on a shelf. This MCP solves that by giving your AI client the math needed to manage your inventory. 

You can ask your agent to look at your upcoming schedule and tell you exactly how many bottles to buy. It handles the math for bottle requirements, usage efficiency, and cost estimations. Instead of manual counting and spreadsheets, you just tell your AI how many manicures you have planned or how much stock you have left. It gives you a clear picture of your service capacity and your procurement needs in seconds. It's a direct way to turn your appointment book into a shopping list.
