## Description

Planning a trip involves more than just picking a destination. You have to account for every single day to ensure your schedule actually works. This MCP takes the guesswork out of travel math. Instead of you manually counting days on a calendar, your AI client can instantly determine the exact inclusive duration of a trip. 

You can use it to verify if a proposed itinerary fits within specific seasonal windows, which is helpful when you have strict travel constraints. If you are weighing two different travel options, the MCP can compare their lengths to show you which one gives you more time on the ground. It also provides a temporal breakdown of your trip, giving you a clear view of how much time you are spending away. It's a specialized set of tools designed to keep your travel logic tight and your scheduling accurate.
