}Overview
GearDex gives Studio integrations scoped access to photography inventory, shoot plans, maintenance records, documents, analytics, and profile data. Trusted services can also create and update gear, shoots, and maintenance work when their key includes write access.
Use direct HTTP calls when you control the client. Use the MCP adapter when an agent host should work through named tools instead of composing raw requests.

What you can build
Dashboards, assistants, reporting, and trusted planning automations. A few starting points:

Weekly inventory digest
Summarize gear by type, identify aging equipment, and send a focused Monday review.
Client-facing gear lists
Turn filtered inventory queries into clean equipment summaries for pitches and pre-production.
Shoot pipeline board
Build an external status view from planning, confirmed, completed, and cancelled shoots.
Warranty watchdog
Monitor document warranty metadata and trigger reminders before coverage expires.
