## Description

Running a trivia night shouldn't involve a spreadsheet and a calculator. This MCP handles the heavy lifting of competition math so you can focus on the questions. You can hand off the scoring logic to your AI client, which can then process individual question points or sum up entire rounds. If you need to ensure no one is cheating or entering impossible numbers, the validation tool checks entries against your specific competition rules. Once the event is over, your agent can pull together a full performance summary to see who led the pack and what the average scores looked like. It turns your AI into a dedicated scorekeeper that stays accurate throughout the entire session.
