## Description

Stop letting your AI client guess at math. When you're generating invoices or auditing financial documents, a small rounding error or a missed tax rate ruins the whole output. This MCP gives your agent the specific tools it needs to handle invoice arithmetic with total precision. 

You can hand off specific tasks like calculating a single line item or summing up an entire list of products. If you need to apply a flat discount or a specific tax rate to a subtotal, the MCP handles those global adjustments. It's built to manage the relationship between quantity, unit price, and fiscal modifiers. Instead of relying on the LLM's internal logic, you're giving it a dedicated calculator that produces reliable, audit-ready financial summaries.
