## Description

You shouldn't have to hunt through fine print to figure out if a moving quote is actually a good deal. This MCP acts as a decision-support engine for anyone managing freight or relocation logistics. It breaks down the variables that actually matter, like liability limits, transit windows, and service inclusions. 

You can feed multiple quotes into your AI client and get a clear breakdown of how they stack up against each other. If you're worried about specific risks, the engine evaluates options against your unique constraints to find the most logical choice. It also handles the math on your timing, telling you exactly when you need to book to hit your target move date. Beyond just comparing numbers, it helps you prepare for vendor calls by generating specific questions to clear up any vague terms in a contract. It turns a messy pile of quotes into a structured plan for booking your move.
