## Description

You can stop manually calculating boarding fees and discount tiers. This MCP gives your AI client the specific tools needed to handle pet boarding finances accurately. Whether you are managing a single pet stay or a large group, your agent can now pull exact totals or estimate price ranges for different durations. It also handles the logic for volume-based discounts, so you don't have to remember which rate applies to how many animals. If a client asks for a stay that falls outside your operational window, the MCP flags it immediately. It's a direct way to bring precise pricing logic into your existing AI workflows in Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.
