## Description

Managing pet food is more than just buying a bag when the bin looks empty. You have to account for daily portions, the extra treats you give them, and the food that inevitably goes to waste. This MCP handles those variables so you don't have to. You can use it to figure out your exact daily consumption requirements or to see how many days of food you have left in the pantry. If you are planning your finances, it can project your monthly food costs based on your pet's specific needs. It also builds a reorder timeline, telling you exactly when to buy the next bag so you never face an empty bowl. It bridges the gap between how much your pet actually eats and the physical logistics of buying and storing food packages.

### estimate_monthly_budget
This tool calculates how much you will spend on pet food over a 30-day period. It uses your pet's consumption data to project monthly costs.

### get_pet_inventory_status
This tool checks your current food supply. It tells you exactly how many days of food you have left based on what is currently in stock.

### predict_purchase_schedule
