Shared bill splitting in VS Code

Commit your configuration to the repo so everyone on your team has access to the `split_bill` tool. It ensures everyone calculates tips the same way. Consistency is key when splitting group bills. By using a shared MCP Server, you prevent discrepancies in how taxes and tips are distributed.

Deterministic math for engineering teams

Engineers hate fuzzy math. This tool provides a deterministic output for every input, ensuring that the `split_bill` results are always reproducible. It handles the logic for proportional distribution so you don't have to write custom scripts. It's a reliable way to manage shared costs.

VS Code Copilot integration

Switch to Agent mode and ask Copilot to process your receipt. The tool runs locally and returns the split values directly in your chat. It’s fast and keeps you in your editor. You can then copy the results to Slack or your team's expense tracker.
