You wonder if you bought enough soda, if the ice will last through a heatwave, or if everyone will actually have a place to sit. This MCP removes that uncertainty by turning your event details into precise logistics. When you give your AI client the guest count, duration, and local weather, it runs the numbers for you. It looks at menu complexity and temperature to decide how much food to order and how much cooling capacity you need to keep things safe. Instead of overbuying or running short, you get specific quantities for everything from beverage liters to square meters of blanket space. It even accounts for the cleanup phase by estimating how many containers and trash supplies you'll need to manage the aftermath. You provide the context, and your agent provides the shopping list. ## Tools ### get_consumption_requirements This tool calculates the total food and beverage amounts required for your event.
