# Dinner Reservation Splitter AI Agent Connect

> Dinner Reservation Splitter MCP handles the messy math of group dining. It calculates individual shares by factoring in specific meal costs, proportional taxes, tips, and shared appetizers. Your AI client can also manage group-wide fees like cancellation penalties or apply credits from deposits to ensure everyone pays exactly what they owe.

## Description

Stop arguing over the check at the end of a long meal. This MCP gives your AI client the logic needed to break down restaurant bills with total precision. Instead of just dividing the total by the number of people, you can give your agent the specific details of what everyone ordered. It accounts for the nuances that make manual splitting difficult, such as distributing tax and tip proportionally based on individual meal totals. If a group shares a few appetizers, the MCP can divide those costs only among the people who actually ate them. It also handles the less fun parts of dining, like applying cancellation fees or accounting for pre-paid deposits. You just provide the raw data from the receipt or reservation, and your agent does the rest.
