## Description

Planning a graduation party involves a lot of moving parts, and keeping track of every single expense is usually a headache. This MCP turns your AI client into a dedicated financial manager for your event. You can record costs for specific categories like travel, gifts, or ceremony fees as they happen. Instead of manually calculating totals, you just ask your agent for a breakdown of where your money is going or a quick summary of your current balance. If you are debating whether to invite more people, the tool calculates the financial impact of those extra guests. It also monitors your spending against your limits to make sure you don't overspend before the big day arrives. It is a straightforward way to keep your graduation planning organized and predictable.
