This MCP gives your agent the ability to run precise financial calculations on loyalty programs, helping you decide when to spend and when to hold. You can use it to figure out if a specific redemption is a good deal or if you're losing money by letting points expire.

It's a specialized finance tool for anyone managing multiple reward balances who wants to maximize their return on spend. ## Tools ### bulk_valuation_check Bulk valuation check for multiple point balances ### calculate_point_value Calculate the total cash value of loyalty points ### point_tier_assessment Assess points needed for a specific value tier ### verify_point_liquidity Verify if point balance meets a cash threshold ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` How much is one point worth if I spend $100 to earn 50 points, and those 50 points can be used for a $10 reward? ``` **Response:** ``` One point is worth $0.20, and the earning rate is $2.00 per point. ``` **Prompt:** ``` I have 1000 points worth $0.10 each, and 200 points are expiring soon.
