## Description

Planning a school trip or a dance involves a lot of moving parts that are easy to mess up. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to act as a precise financial assistant for school organizers. Instead of you manually running numbers in a spreadsheet, your agent can calculate exactly how much you'll spend on food, how many buses you need to rent, and how much clothing will cost for the group. It also tracks your incoming money from ticket sales so you know your actual margin. When you're ready, the MCP pulls all these individual costs together into a single summary that includes a safety buffer for unexpected expenses. It's built to take the guesswork out of school event logistics.
