## Description

Managing a dance studio involves constant math regarding how many classes a student takes and what discounts they qualify for. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to handle those calculations accurately. Instead of you manually checking discount tiers or session counts, your agent can determine exactly what a student owes based on their specific attendance. 

You can use it to figure out total tuition amounts after package discounts are applied or to see how much a student saves per class when they commit to more sessions. It also handles the logic for billing tiers, so your agent can verify if a student's session count qualifies them for a specific rate. Whether you are answering a parent's question about pricing or auditing your monthly billing, this MCP provides the specific numbers you need.
