Add an inquiry to Leads with the guest, date, guest count and request.

Tripleseat MCP tools: https://cotlet.dev/docs/mcp/tripleseat.md

MCP tool: `tripleseat_write → create_lead`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Creates a lead in your Leads list. First name, last name and email are required; the guest count must be a number such as 25, not a range, and the location is required if your account has more than one. Your team sees the new lead and may be notified, so the call asks you first. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `first_name` | string | yes | Guest first name. |
| `last_name` | string | yes | Guest last name. |
| `email_address` | string | yes | Guest email. |
| `phone_number` | string | no | Guest phone. |
| `company` | string | no | Guest company. |
| `event_description` | string | no | What the guest wants to host. |
| `event_date` | date | no | Requested date. |
| `guest_count` | integer | no | Number only, for example 25. |
| `location_id` | integer | no | Required if your account has more than one location. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
