## Description

Managing a move is stressful enough without having to manually track every receipt and policy rule. This MCP acts as your personal logistics engine for relocation management. You can feed your employer's policy excerpts and raw expense data directly to your AI client to build a structured plan. Instead of guessing when you'll get paid, you can generate a schedule of submission and payout dates. You can also use it to identify exactly which documents you need to keep to satisfy company rules. It helps you stay ahead of your budget by calculating net cash requirements based on your current balance and expected advances. When it's time to submit, the MCP organizes your receipts into logical batches. It even drafts professional follow-up messages for your manager if a reimbursement is taking too long.
