## Description

You can stop arguing over who paid for what during pet sitting rotations. This MCP acts as a financial engine that your AI client uses to reconcile costs among pet owners. Instead of guessing, you give your agent the dates each person was responsible for the pet, and it handles the rest. It works for everything from daily feeding supplies to expensive boarding stays or transport fees. You can assign custom cost-sharing ratios if one person is covering more than their fair share. Your agent can check if your proposed dates make sense, calculate individual breakdowns for specific bills, and even figure out the fastest way for everyone to pay each other back. It turns a messy pile of receipts into a clean, itemized settlement plan.

**Can the AI check if my dates are correct?**
Yes, the validate_ownership_window tool allows your agent to verify that responsibility periods are logically sound.

**How are costs split between owners?**
Costs are split based on defined responsibility windows and custom cost shares. You can use `calculate_proportional_splits` to see the exact breakdown for any expense.

**How can I see who owes what?**
You can use `get_expense_summary` to view the current total liability and balances for each owner, or `get_settlement_plan` to see the specific transfers needed to settle up.
