## Description

Managing school fees shouldn't feel like a manual data entry job. This MCP acts as a bridge between incoming fee notices and your actual financial planning. Instead of staring at a PDF or an email, you can hand that information to your AI agent and let it build a complete roadmap. It organizes everything into a timeline, assigns costs to the right budget holders, and keeps a close eye on your limits. You can use it to verify that every payment has the right paperwork attached or to spot a budget breach before it happens. It's built to keep your school's financial obligations on track without the constant manual checking.
