## Description

You probably spend more on coffee than you realize. This MCP gives your AI agent the math skills to track those costs. Instead of just estimating, you can feed your agent the price of a bulk bag of beans or the cost of a gallon of milk, and it will figure out the exact cost per cup. It handles the tedious math of comparing weekly cafe spending against what you spend on ingredients at home. You can even factor in the cost of new equipment to see how long it takes to break even. Whether you are trying to tighten your monthly budget or just curious about your spending, this MCP turns your AI client into a personal finance tool for your coffee addiction.
