## Description

Managing repair project finances shouldn't feel like manual bookkeeping. This MCP gives your AI agent the logic needed to handle quotes, milestones, and fund releases without the guesswork. You can feed a repair quote into the system to build a master schedule that dictates exactly when payments happen. 

Instead of just trusting a contractor's word, your agent uses this MCP to check if the work actually meets your standards. It evaluates submitted evidence against your specific rules to ensure compliance. Once a milestone is fully validated, the system confirms it's ready for payment. You get a clear, real-time view of how much budget has been used and how much remains. It's about moving from loose verbal agreements to a strict, verifiable financial workflow that keeps your repair projects on track and your funds secure.
