About Float MCP Server
Connect your Float account to any AI agent and automate your resource management and team scheduling through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Float is the leading resource planning platform that helps agencies and teams keep track of who is working on what and when. Now, you can manage allocations, check availability, and oversee project timelines directly through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Float tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 12 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Team Scheduling — List all team members and fetch detailed availability and profile metadata.
- Project Oversight — Access active projects, retrieve specific project details, and manage the team members assigned to them.
- Task Allocations — Create and list project allocations, assigning specific hours and dates to team members instantly.
- Time Off Management — Monitor scheduled vacations, sick leave, and public holidays to ensure accurate capacity planning.
- Logged Time Analysis — Retrieve actual hours worked versus scheduled time to track project progress and efficiency.
- Organization Discovery — List clients, departments, and account users to maintain full context of your agency's structure.
- Capacity Planning — Fetch high-level snapshots of team utilization and task labels (e.g., Design, Development).
