## Description

Grocery math is annoying. When one brand sells 500g of flour for $2.50 and another sells 1.2kg for $5.00, it isn't always obvious which one saves you money. This MCP fixes that by giving your AI agent the ability to normalize every food item to a price per kilogram. 

You can hand your shopping list or a photo of a receipt to your AI client and ask it to find the best value. It handles the weight conversions and the division for you. Whether you are trying to decide between a small snack pack and a family size box, or you want to know if a bulk deal is a gimmick, this tool provides the math. It's built to take the guesswork out of unit pricing so you can focus on your budget.
