Soxoa Automation Planner

What Soxoa Automation Planner MCP server does

The Soxoa Automation Planner MCP server supports early-stage automation planning from structured facts supplied by the caller. It can estimate reclaimable team capacity and an illustrative payback period, rank recurring workflows by automation suitability, and turn one workflow into a proposed pilot plan.

The server fits the Workplace & Productivity category because its outputs help teams assess internal work, identify candidates for automation, and define review and rollout steps. It is intended for planning rather than direct operations: it does not access business accounts, change external systems, send messages, or run provider work.

How it works

Each tool evaluates data included in the request. ROI estimation requires the number of people, weekly hours per person, and loaded hourly cost. The caller can also provide the automatable share and working weeks. If those values are omitted, the server uses 60% and 48 respectively. An implementation cost is needed for a payback-month calculation; otherwise, the result focuses on capacity and value estimates.

Workflow prioritization accepts between one and 12 described workflows. Each record includes weekly hours, predictability, judgment required, error cost, data sensitivity, and the number of systems involved. The server scores the workflows, recommends whether each should be automated, assisted, or investigated, and identifies where human review is needed.

Pilot planning uses facts about the selected workflow, including its current steps, trigger, inputs, desired output, source and destination systems, review owner, risk, data sensitivity, and success checks. The result describes proposed steps, tools, review gates, acceptance checks, rollout guidance, and a Markdown plan.

Tools and capabilities

The Soxoa Automation Planner MCP server exposes three MCP tools:

• estimate_automation_roi calculates weekly and annual hours reclaimed, annual capacity value, applicable payback months, assumptions, and a suggested next step.
• prioritize_automation_workflows ranks workflows, provides a score and rationale for each, flags human review, and recommends a first workflow with guardrails.
• build_workflow_pilot produces a pilot design, a drafting prompt, review controls, acceptance criteria, rollout guidance, and a Markdown plan.

These tools complement one another: teams can estimate the potential value of a recurring process, compare it with other candidates, and then draft a bounded pilot for the selected workflow.

Limitations and notes

The Soxoa Automation Planner MCP server returns planning estimates, not guaranteed savings or financial advice. ROI results depend on the figures supplied by the caller and the stated assumptions.

The pilot builder does not connect accounts, start work with a provider, save a plan, send messages, or execute the described workflow. Its output is a proposed plan for human review.
