## Description

You can stop manually calculating ticket totals for different age groups. This MCP gives your agent the specific tools needed to handle cinema pricing logic. Whether you are planning a solo trip or organizing a massive group outing, the math is handled instantly. You can use it to pull standard regional pricing for the USA or Europe to ensure your estimates are grounded in real-world rates. It handles the heavy lifting of tiered pricing, where adults, children, and seniors all have different rates, and it can automatically apply discounts when your group hits a certain size. Instead of guessing the total, you just give your AI client the headcount and the age breakdown, and it gives you a final number.
