## Description

Planning a group trip or a shared outing shouldn't involve a spreadsheet and a calculator. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to manage shared expenses for any group activity. Whether you are organizing a cooking class for friends or a guided tour for a large group, you can hand the numbers over to your agent. It calculates exactly what each person owes and provides a summary of participant costs. You can also use it to vet potential activities against specific budget levels, such as luxury or mid-range tiers, to ensure the group stays on track. It even shows you the math on group savings, comparing the total group price against what individuals would pay alone. It is a precise way to keep group finances transparent and simple.
