# Beauty Service Discount Engine AI Agent Connect

## Description

You can stop manually calculating discounts for every client. This MCP connects your AI client directly to your salon's pricing logic. Instead of guessing if a customer qualifies for a promotion, your agent can instantly check service base prices and loyalty status to find the exact amount owed. 

It works by pulling standard costs and then layering on specific rules. If a customer has reached a certain loyalty tier, the engine calculates that specific percentage off. If there is a holiday or seasonal event happening, it checks if that service qualifies for a special rate. Finally, it bundles everything together to give you a single, accurate final price. This keeps your billing consistent and ensures customers always get the correct loyalty or seasonal rates without manual math.
