## Description

Managing a band involves more than just playing music. When you rent a studio, you're dealing with base fees, extra charges for specific gear, and the headache of tracking who already paid a deposit. This MCP takes that math off your plate. You can tell your AI client exactly how many hours each person showed up or if someone needs a credit for paying the upfront cost. It handles the heavy lifting of distributing costs based on participation or specific gear surcharges. Whether you're a touring group or a local garage band, you can use this to ensure everyone pays their fair share without the back and forth. It keeps the books clean and the focus on the music.
