## Description

You can use this MCP to turn your AI client into a specialized salon assistant. Instead of manually checking price lists or doing math for every client, you let your agent handle the heavy lifting. It pulls real-time data from your service catalog to provide accurate quotes. If you are planning a service package, the MCP checks if the selected treatments are actually compatible so you don't suggest impossible combinations. You can also ask your agent to look at specific tiers, like the Professional or Premium levels, to see price ranges and averages. This keeps your pricing consistent and your estimates fast. It's built to take the guesswork out of salon service management by providing direct access to your pricing structure through any MCP-compatible client.
