## Description

Managing a clinic means juggling therapist expertise, patient demand, and limited room space. This MCP handles that complexity by applying logic to your scheduling data. Instead of manually checking if a therapist is overbooked or if a room is free, you let your agent do the math. You can generate a full clinical calendar that respects everyone's specialty and availability. It also helps you keep an eye on staff well-being by identifying the best times for breaks and flagging when someone is hitting overtime limits. It's a way to move from reactive scheduling to a proactive, data-driven approach that respects both your staff and your patients.
