freispace MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides analytics and insights for the scheduling software freispace. This server enables AI assistants (e.g. Copilot, Gemini) to query data within freispace, such as project statistics and planning related information.

Overview

The freispace MCP Server connects any LLM with tooling capabilities to freispace to query analytical data.

Media teams using freispace can leverage the MCP server to make planning data available to the entire company using the company-wide AI (e.g. Copilot), without users having to be on freispace or even know about freispace, as well as help post-production teams make data-driven decisions while scheduling and planning.

Our MCP Server always respects user permissions, ensuring that the LLM will only be able to access data on a per-user level, ensuring data safety.

Example queries might be "Who worked with Person X in the past" or "How many vacation days do I have left?"
