This MCP gives your AI client the specific math tools needed to handle pet nutrition logistics. You can input daily portion sizes and feeding frequencies to find out exactly how much food your pets need every day. From there, the math scales up. You can see how many bags of food you'll need to buy to cover a month or a full year, and exactly how much that will hit your bank account. It's built to prevent those mid-week trips to the store by calculating the precise number of full packages required to meet your pets' needs. Whether you're managing one cat or a multi-dog household, you can get a clear financial picture of your pet care expenses without doing the arithmetic yourself. ## Tools ### calculate_budget_totals This tool provides a full financial breakdown for weekly, monthly, or annual spending periods. ### calculate_feeding_needs This tool determines the total weight of food required daily for all your pets. ### estimate_package_usage This tool calculates the number of full or partial food packages needed to meet your feeding requirements. ### get_shopping_list This tool generates a list of the exact number of whole packages you need to purchase. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` How much food and money will I need for 2 dogs that eat 500g twice a day, using 2kg bags that cost $15, with a 5% waste allowance? ``` **Response:** ``` For 2 dogs, you will need approximately 2.1kg of food per day. This results in a weekly requirement of 14.7kg and an annual requirement of 766.5kg. You should purchase 8 bags per week or 384 bags per year, with an estimated annual cost of $5,760. ``` **Prompt:** ``` I have 1 cat eating 50g three times a day. The food comes in 500g bags for $10. How many bags do I need for a month? ``` **Response:** ``` You will need 150g of food per day. For a standard month (30.44 days), you will need approximately 4.57kg of food, which requires purchasing 10 bags. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Calculate the annual budget for a pet eating 1kg of food daily, with 1kg bags costing $5. ``` **Response:** ``` The annual food requirement is 365kg.
