## Description

Managing pet expenses with a co-owner shouldn't feel like a second job. This MCP gives your AI agent the logic needed to handle shared pet finances without the manual math or constant back-and-forth messaging. You set the rules for how costs are split, and your agent does the rest. It tracks what's been paid, identifies who needs to reimburse whom, and spots any weird charges that don't match your pre-approved categories. Instead of digging through receipts, you can just ask your AI client to prepare a monthly review or a list of pending payments. It turns a messy pile of vet bills and food receipts into a clean, actionable plan for everyone involved.
