## Description

Managing a venue means constantly balancing guest lists against physical space. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to run those calculations instantly. Instead of manually counting seats or guessing if a group will fit, you can ask your agent to run the numbers for you. You can determine the absolute maximum number of people your space can hold or find out exactly how many seats will go to waste with a specific booking. If you have a set number of guests and a fixed number of tables, the MCP calculates the best way to distribute people so no one is left out. It's a practical way to handle the logistics of event planning without the manual math.
