What is the 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.
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).
How it works
- Subscribe to this server through the Vinkius Marketplace
- Enter your Float Personal Access Token (found in Account Settings > Integrations)
- Start managing your team resources from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Project Managers — quickly check if a developer is available for a new task or update a project's timeline.
- Resource Planners — get a real-time overview of team capacity and time off via simple AI commands.
- Agency Directors — automate the retrieval of logged time reports and client lists for better operational visibility.

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Float becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Float tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

Frequently asked questions
How do I check if a team member is available for a specific date range?
You can use the 'list_allocations' tool to see current schedules. By asking the agent, 'Is John available next week?', it will scan existing task allocations and time off to provide a clear answer.
Can I assign a person to a project directly through the agent?
Yes! The 'create_allocation' tool allows you to schedule a person to a project by providing their ID, the project ID, start/end dates, and the number of hours per day.
How do I see who is currently on vacation?
Use the 'list_time_offs' tool. It retrieves all scheduled vacations, sick leave, and holidays, giving you an immediate view of who is away from the office.
How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
