## Description

Managing a sports roster shouldn't involve digging through spreadsheets every time a player calls in sick. This MCP gives your AI agent direct control over your team's availability. You can track exactly who is Active, who is on the Reserve list, and who is currently Absent. 

Instead of manual data entry, you just tell your AI client what changed. If a player moves from the reserve list to the active roster, your agent handles the update. If you need to know how many players are ready for a game, your agent pulls the summary instantly. It keeps your roster data clean and organized so you can focus on coaching or managing rather than administrative busywork.
