The time sink is checking if someone has bandwidth.
Today, figuring out who can work on a new task involves juggling multiple systems. You open the project management platform to see tasks, then switch to the team calendar to check availability, and finally jump into the department directory just to confirm job roles. It's a constant cycle of tabs, clicks, and cross-referencing that eats up hours.
With this MCP, you talk to your agent like talking to a colleague. You simply ask: 'Do we have anyone free next Tuesday who knows Python?' The agent handles the complex checks across all those systems, giving you one direct answer instead of six different dashboards.
Float MCP gives you total resource visibility.
The days of sending out 'Are you free?' emails that get ignored are over. You no longer need to manually cross-check if a developer's time off conflicts with an urgent project deadline, because the agent checks and reports it instantly via `list_time_offs`.
Now, your team’s capacity is visible in natural language commands. It’s immediate, comprehensive, and accurate.
What Float MCP does for your AI
Float lets you handle resource planning—the whole mess of figuring out who has time and who's swamped—using natural conversation. You connect your Float account through Vinkius, giving your agent access to all your team data. Instead of manually cross-referencing project boards with calendars, you ask your AI client directly: 'Is Jane available next week for the Website Redesign?' It checks availability and reports back instantly.
You can manage everything from listing departments and clients to creating specific task allocations or retrieving actual logged hours worked. This means you never have to guess if a developer has bandwidth before committing them to a new project, keeping your whole operation running smoothly.

Who uses Float MCP
This MCP is built for operational leads who are tired of toggling between calendar apps, project management software, and time tracking sheets. If you spend more than 15 minutes a day just checking basic availability or scheduling follow-ups, this tool saves your sanity.
Quickly verify if a specific developer is available for a new task and assign the necessary hours to keep milestones on track.
Get an immediate, comprehensive overview of team capacity across departments and account users, factoring in scheduled time off.
Automate the retrieval of complex reports, like total logged time or a list of all active clients, for quarterly operational reviews.
Benefits of connecting Float MCP
Saves you from manual data compilation. You can ask your agent to 'List all active projects and who is assigned,' instantly getting a full overview without opening multiple tabs or running complex reports.
Guarantees accurate scheduling. Use the create_allocation tool to schedule hours for specific tasks, updating team availability in real-time so you never overcommit someone.
Keeps you informed on capacity limits. By using list_time_offs, your agent automatically filters out time away, ensuring any allocation plan respects scheduled vacations and holidays.
Provides deep historical context. Running a query with get_logged_time lets you compare what was planned versus what was actually worked, giving clear data on project efficiency.
Knows your company structure. You can list departments or clients using dedicated tools so the agent always has full context about your agency's setup.
Float MCP use cases
A developer needs to be assigned immediately, but you aren't sure who is free.
Instead of checking every team member’s calendar manually, ask your agent to list all people and filter by current capacity. This lets you instantly identify the right fit for the task allocation.
The client asks for a report on last month's total billable hours.
Instead of exporting and summing time sheets, ask your agent to get logged time across all relevant projects. It compiles the actual hours worked instantly, ready for reporting.
You need to update a project timeline because a key team member is taking leave.
First, use list time offs to confirm Sarah's vacation dates. Then, ask your agent to adjust the project details and reallocate tasks around her absence.
You’re onboarding a new account and need to see all possible departments.
Simply tell your agent to list departments or clients. It pulls the full organizational structure, giving you immediate context for resource planning.
Float MCP tradeoffs
What to watch out for, and the recommended way to handle each one.
Treating scheduling as a calendar function
Trying to schedule time off by just changing an event on a shared calendar. This leaves no record of the request and messes up capacity planning.
Use list_time_offs first, then ask your agent to manage time away records so that Float correctly updates everyone's official availability status.
Over-relying on project names for scope
Assuming a 'Marketing' project means all tasks are marketing. Without specific instructions, the agent might pull irrelevant task labels.
Always confirm available task labels first by calling list_project_task_names. This keeps your allocations accurate to Design or Development.
Manually checking individual availability
Having to ask five different people if they're free before scheduling a meeting. This is slow, inefficient, and requires too much back-and-forth.
Ask your agent to check team availability for the entire group at once. It runs checks across all listed people and reports on overall capacity.
When to use Float MCP
Use this MCP if your primary bottleneck is resource visibility. This tool excels when you need to know who has time, when they have time, and what project that time should be spent on. It's perfect for Project Managers and Resource Planners who live in the overlap between calendars and task lists. Don't use this if your core problem is billing reconciliation or deep financial accounting; those require dedicated ERP connectors. If you just need a list of all client names, simple database tools might suffice, but Float adds the crucial layer: capacity planning. Always verify allocations using list_allocations to make sure nothing conflicts.
