## Description

Running a repair shop means constantly balancing time against profit. This MCP gives your AI agent the specific tools needed to manage those numbers without you doing the manual math. You can pull up a quick price for a single item or calculate the total labor for a whole pile of different repairs at once. It also helps you stay within your business rules by validating service tiers and their specific constraints. If you need to know if a job is actually worth the time, you can use it to compare the cost to time ratio against your standard rates. It's built to keep your pricing consistent and your labor costs predictable.
