## Description

Planning a trip with a group usually means a chaotic mess of spreadsheets and Venmo requests. This MCP changes that by giving your AI client the ability to act as a financial coordinator for your group. Instead of you manually adding up every receipt, your agent can pull all expenses together to see the big picture. 

You can use it to figure out individual shares so no one overpays or underpays. If the group is drifting toward a budget blowout, the MCP identifies the overages immediately. When the trip ends, you don't need to spend an hour calculating who owes whom. Your AI client can generate a specific settlement plan that lists exactly which transactions need to happen to clear the books. It turns a complicated coordination task into a simple conversation with your agent.
