## Description

Managing repair permits usually means digging through confusing municipal websites and chasing down missing documents. This MCP changes that by turning those requirements into a structured plan. You can feed your project details and local rules into your AI client, and it will immediately start building the assets you need to stay on schedule.

Instead of guessing what's missing, you'll get a clear view of your submission status. You can assign specific permit tasks to owners or contractors to ensure nothing falls through the cracks. The MCP also builds out your timeline, calculating exactly when you need to submit paperwork to hit your construction start dates. If you run into a roadblock with a local office, your agent can draft the specific questions you need to ask to get answers. It's about moving from a pile of requirements to a finished, organized permit package without the manual guesswork.
