## Description

Planning a group trip or a dinner shouldn't involve a messy spreadsheet. This MCP gives your agent the ability to run precise financial calculations for any group event. Instead of you doing the math, you just tell your AI client the headcount and the cost per person, and it handles the rest. You can use it to verify that the money everyone is chipping in actually covers the total bill, or use it to work backward from a strict budget to see how many people you can invite. It's a practical way to keep group finances organized and accurate during the planning phase of any activity.
