# Sprint Capacity Calculator — MCP tool `findutils:sprint_capacity_calculator`

Calculate a team's realistic sprint capacity in hours and story points. Starts from each member's hours per day × the working days in the sprint, then subtracts meeting overhead, public holidays that fall on working days, and per-member PTO; returns the deductions, final hours, utilization rate, recommended story points (final hours ÷ hours per point), the average of any historical velocity you pass, and a per-member breakdown.
