Manage production schedules in Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between your browser and your production logs. Use `list_appointments` to pull your daily lineup into the chat and verify your crew's availability in real-time. You can keep the production moving by triggering `create_appointment` the second a slot opens up. It keeps your team synced without the usual email back-and-forth.

Track broadcast cases with your AI client

Stay on top of every active broadcast project by querying `list_cases` to see what is currently in the queue. You'll get the full status of every production cycle without digging through spreadsheets. Need more detail on a specific project? Run `get_case` to pull the exact specs you need to brief your team. It cuts the noise and gets you straight to the data.

Verify MPU-Manager connectivity

Before you start your shift, use `check_mpumanager_status` to confirm your connection to the broadcast backend. It takes one second to ensure your tools are live and ready for action. If anything looks off, you'll know immediately. It prevents those mid-production surprises when you need to pull data fast.
