## Description

You can stop manually calculating percentages and checking tier lists. This MCP gives your AI client the exact math needed to handle price reductions. If you need to know the final cost after a specific percentage drop, you can use calculate_single_discount. For a more detailed look, get_price_summary provides the original price, the amount saved, and the final total in one go. If your pricing follows specific rules, find_discount_by_tier pulls the correct rates for categories like Standard or Premium tiers.
