Key Capabilities
Build live desk reservation maps with Vercel AI SDK
The `reserve_desk` tool runs directly from your edge functions to book hot desks instantly. Your users don't wait for a full page reload; the booking confirmation streams straight to their UI. To show what's open, your agent calls `list_desks` to grab current desk availability. The Vercel AI SDK renders this data immediately, letting employees spot and claim open seats before someone else snags them.
Check meeting room status using this MCP Server
The `get_free_busy` tool checks multiple space schedules at once to prevent double bookings. By passing this tool to your Vercel AI SDK setup, your client handles room availability checks in the background. When a team needs a room right away, `list_spaces` pulls the active catalog for any office location. The streaming UI updates the moment the server returns the list, avoiding boring loading spinners.
Book office spaces instantly via Edge-compatible MCP tools
The `book_space` tool schedules events directly onto the company calendar for any selected room. Employees just state when they need a room, and the agent reserves it in one shot. If plans change, the agent invokes `cancel_desk_reservation` to release the desk back to the pool. This keeps your physical office utilization accurate without manual calendar cleanup.
