## Description

You can stop manually running fee math in spreadsheets. This MCP gives your AI client the specific tools needed to handle transaction costs accurately. If you need to apply a flat percentage to a specific amount, the tool handles that instantly. For more complex setups, it can automatically pull the correct fee based on volume tiers, so you don't have to remember which bracket a transaction falls into. 

When you are deciding between different pricing models, you can have your agent compare a standard fee against a tiered structure to find the cheapest path. It also acts as a safety check. Before you finalize any numbers, the tool can validate that your proposed transaction meets the minimum thresholds required for processing. This keeps your financial workflows accurate and prevents errors caused by sub-minimum transaction amounts.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate a 2.5% fee for an exchange of 1000 units.
```

**Response:** 
```
The fee for 1000 units at 2.5% is 25.0, leaving a net amount of 975.0.
```

What is the tiered fee for an amount of 5000?
```

**Response:** 
```
For an amount of 5000, the applied tier is the High Volume tier with a fee of 100.0 and a net amount of 4900.0.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Compare a 3% flat fee against the tiered structure for 2500.
```
