## Description

Organizing group classes involves more than just teaching. You have to track instructor fees, rent venues, buy materials, and account for taxes and payment processing fees. This MCP takes that math off your plate. Instead of manually calculating how much each person owes, you tell your AI client the raw costs and the number of attendees. It handles the heavy lifting of aggregating those numbers and dividing them up. You can get a full itemized list to show participants exactly where their money is going, or you can run a quick check to make sure the total amount collected actually covers the bills. It's built to ensure the math is sound so you aren't left paying the difference for a venue or a supply run.
