## Description

Dealing with municipal notices is a headache. You get a document filled with fine print, varying payment methods, and strict deadlines. This MCP changes how you handle that paperwork. Instead of manually reading through every line to find out how much you owe or where to pay, you give the raw text to your AI client. The MCP extracts the core numbers and dates, checks if your preferred payment method actually works under local laws, and builds a backup plan for your receipts. It turns a confusing piece of mail into a single, high-priority brief that tells you exactly what to do next. You stop guessing about compliance and start executing payments with a clear paper trail.
