Claim your desk without leaving the chat

This Robin MCP Server lets your AI client reserve physical workspaces on the fly. When you tell Claude Desktop you're heading into the office tomorrow, the agent checks available spots using `list_desks` and books your chair with `reserve_desk`. If plans change, you don't have to open a separate portal. Just ask the agent to run `cancel_desk_reservation` to free up the spot.

Lock down meeting rooms instantly

This meeting room tool lets your AI client find and secure spaces instantly. Your agent uses `list_spaces` to find rooms at your office location and checks live schedules with `get_free_busy` to avoid conflicts. Once you pick a slot, the tool executes `book_space` to secure the room. This workflow keeps your calendar synced and your team coordinated without manual coordination.

Check office schedules directly in your sidebar

This office schedule tool pulls live calendar data directly into your sidebar. The agent pulls up-to-date schedule details using `list_space_events` and gets location parameters with `get_location` and `get_space`. You get immediate answers about room availability. No more double-bookings or showing up to a room that is already packed.
