## Description

Stop guessing if a discount makes sense. This MCP gives your AI client the math tools needed to handle complex promotional pricing and retail calculations. Instead of relying on your agent to approximate percentages, you can use these tools to get exact figures for savings, unit costs, and target price points. 

You can use it to verify if a bulk purchase discount actually lowers the cost per unit or if a specific discount percentage violates your established business rules. It also helps you work backward from a target savings goal to find the necessary original price. It is built for anyone who needs to run quick, accurate pricing scenarios without pulling out a manual calculator or building a spreadsheet for every single promo.
