## Description

Planning a trip to a new city usually involves a lot of math. You look at a tourist pass, then you look at the price of the museum, the metro, and the bus, and you try to guess if the pass is worth it. This MCP handles that math for you. You give your AI client your planned itinerary, and it runs the numbers to see if a pass is a deal or a waste of money. It can tell you exactly how many more museums you'd need to visit to make a specific pass pay for itself. It also checks the fine print to ensure the activities you actually want to do are covered by the pass you're considering. It's a simple way to make sure you aren't leaving money on the table while you're out exploring.

No, Vinkius hosts the MCP. You just connect your client once and it is ready to use.

**Can it help me plan how long my trip will take?**
