## Description

You can stop manually calculating rental fees and checking tier rules. This MCP gives your AI client the specific logic needed to run bike rental math. If you're managing a fleet or helping customers plan their trips, your agent can now handle the heavy lifting. It uses calculate_total_cost to find the exact price for a specific duration and get_tiered_pricing_info to pull the correct rates for different customer levels. You can also use validate_rental_eligibility to instantly see if a requested time frame meets your business rules. When customers ask how much they can afford, your agent uses estimate_budget to tell them exactly how many hours they can ride based on their available cash. It turns your AI client into a functional rental assistant that knows your pricing structure inside and out.
