A schedule an AI can edit
Is there a scheduling tool an AI can edit by itself? Yes: PalmaPlan exposes every command of its scheduling engine to an AI agent, over MCP. Claude or another assistant adds rows, moves blocks, links tasks, sets milestones — with your rights, signed in its name, undoable —, and everyone who has the schedule open sees the change live.
In short
- The schedule itself, not a description: the AI reads and writes the real schedule, the one the team uses.
- With your rights, never more: owner, editor or reader, the role is checked on every call.
- Signed and undoable: every write carries the agent's name in the History, and
Ctrl+Zstays yours. - Try before applying: a simulation answers "what if…?" without a single date moving.
- Any MCP client: the protocol is open; Claude Code and Claude are the ones that have been tried.
What an AI can do in it
- Build a whole schedule from a description: phases, rows, blocks, links, in one call.
- Edit it: add, rename, move, lengthen, indent, link, set a milestone, colour, comment.
- Analyse it: critical path, delays, risks from absences, what changed between two versions.
- Track it: a block's actions, their owners — a person or an AI —, the derived progress.
- Share it and get it out: invite, publish, export in the v23 format, as CSV, an image or a PDF.

The safeguards
- Your consent, first. An agent connects through OAuth: a consent page names the client and what it asks for. It leaves with a named token in its own name, which you revoke in one click; revoking also closes its current session.
- Read or write. A read-only token can read, export, simulate; if it tries to write, it gets an explicit refusal.
- Your rights, no more. The agent acts under your role on each schedule; a schedule that was not shared with you, it does not see.
- Nothing on your account. No tool touches the password, the profile, the export or the deletion of the account: those gestures stay the person's.
- Everything is traced. The History says who did what, when — "Claude (you)" for what your agent wrote.
And the team meanwhile
The schedule stays a Gantt chart you drive with the mouse, alone or together. When the agent writes, every open screen follows over a realtime channel, without reloading; if two writes cross, the conflict is reported instead of one silently overwriting the other. An AI becomes one team member among others, whose every move is visible.
