## Description

Planning a trip shouldn't involve a spreadsheet full of bed rates and night counts. This MCP gives your AI agent the ability to run precise hostel math instantly. If you're organizing a trip for a large group, you can quickly see how much you'll save with bulk rates or decide if splitting a room is cheaper than booking individual beds. It takes the guesswork out of accommodation budgeting by letting your agent validate whether a specific hostel configuration stays under your limit. You just provide the number of beds, the nightly rate, and the duration, and your agent handles the rest.
