## Description

Managing business travel expenses shouldn't be a manual math problem. This MCP gives your AI agent the tools to handle the entire reimbursement lifecycle. You can hand off raw trip data to your agent and have it calculate exact payouts for single trips or aggregate everything into a single monthly total. If you've already issued advances to employees, the MCP reconciles those amounts so you only pay the remaining balance. To prevent errors, you can run audits on your logs to ensure every entry follows your specific business rules. It turns your AI client into a precise accounting assistant for mileage and travel expenses.

## Tools

### calculate_trip_reimbursement
