Proportional bill splitting directly inside Cline

The `split_bill` tool is the core engine that calculates individual shares of a restaurant bill based on exact item costs. Cline reads your raw bill text, extracts the items, and structures them into the required format to trigger the calculation. By tying tax and tip to the actual items ordered, the server avoids the unfairness of flat-rate splits. Someone ordering a small appetizer won't pay a proportional share of the tax on another person's expensive steak.

Deterministic penny resolution for exact ledgers

The `split_bill` tool solves the fractional penny problem by using a strict largest-remainder algorithm to distribute leftover cents. Cline invokes this math engine to generate a final ledger where the sum of individual shares matches the receipt total to the penny. You don't have to deal with floating-point errors or manual rounding adjustments. The calculation is completely repeatable, giving you the exact same fair distribution every time you run it.

End-to-end receipt parsing via this MCP Server

The `split_bill` tool enables Cline to handle the entire bill-splitting workflow autonomously by connecting to this MCP Server. Cline can extract item names and prices from a raw chat message, format them into a clean JSON array, and pass them to the tool along with the tax and tip. This means you don't have to write custom scripts to parse receipt data. Cline handles the data formatting and tool execution, outputting a clean list of individual shares ready to be sent to your friends.
