## Description

Planning outdoor events involves a lot of moving parts, especially when you're trying to figure out if your furniture inventory actually matches your guest list. This MCP takes that guesswork out of the equation. You can use it to run quick calculations for seating requirements or to see if your existing stock of tables and chairs can handle a specific crowd size. Instead of manually counting or using a spreadsheet, you just tell your AI client how many guests are coming and what kind of tables you have. It will tell you the total chair count, the number of tables required, and how those guests will be distributed. It's a direct way to verify your logistics before you start setting up furniture on-site.
