## Description

You can hand off the tedious logistics of parking management to your AI agent. Instead of manually checking calendars or calculating fees, you use this MCP to get instant answers about permit validity and costs. Your agent can use `get_upcoming_renewals` to keep you ahead of expiration dates or `calculate_valid_parking_periods` to see exactly when a permit is active. If you are planning a trip or a long-term stay, you can ask your agent to `get_permit_cost_estimate` to see the total price upfront. It even handles the fine print by using `validate_permit_eligibility` to check if a request actually works against current rules. It turns your AI client into a specialized logistics coordinator for parking and permit scheduling.
