Deterministic Fair-Share Tip Splitter

What is the Deterministic Fair-Share Tip Splitter MCP Server?

Splitting a restaurant bill with shared appetizers, individual drinks, and group tips is a mathematical nightmare for LLMs. They frequently hallucinate decimal distributions and fail to balance the final grand total. The Tip Splitter MCP offloads this exact calculation to a rigorous V8 mathematical engine.

The Superpowers

  • Proportional Taxation & Tipping: The engine automatically calculates each person's base subtotal based on the specific items they consumed (or shared), and then proportionally applies the exact tax and tip burden to each individual.
  • Penny Reconciliation Algorithm: When fractional cents create a discrepancy between the calculated individual totals and the actual receipt grand total, the engine automatically reconciles the missing or extra penny to guarantee 100% mathematical closure.
  • Shared Consumption Mapping: Allows mapping a single item (like 'Nachos') to multiple consumers (e.g., 'Alice' and 'Bob'). The engine dynamically splits the price before applying secondary rates.
  • Zero-Dependency Execution: Operates entirely natively within the V8 runtime, guaranteeing extreme speed and precision without pulling heavy external libraries.

You must provide the items as a stringified JSON array, along with the total taxAmount and tipPercentage. Deterministically calculates individual bill shares, proportionally distributing taxes and tips among consumers based on their exact items, and resolving rounding discrepancies

Why VS Code Copilot?

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Deterministic Fair-Share Tip Splitter data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 1 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

  • VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor

  • Project-scoped MCP configs (.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access

  • Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop

  • GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

01

How does it handle shared items like an appetizer?

The agent passes an array of 'consumers' for each item. If 'Nachos' ($15) has consumers ['John', 'Jane'], the engine automatically divides the base cost ($7.50 each) before proportionally applying their individual tax and tip burden.

02

Why do LLMs fail at this without an MCP?

LLMs lack true mathematical persistence. When calculating multi-step proportions (subtotal -> ratio -> tax allocation -> tip allocation -> fractional rounding), they often lose tracking of pennies, resulting in individual totals that don't add up to the receipt's grand total.

03

What is the 'Penny Reconciliation Algorithm'?

Due to floating-point toFixed(2) rounding on 5 different people, the sum of individual owed amounts might equal $100.01 while the actual grand total is $100.00. The engine detects this and surgically subtracts or adds the penny discrepancy to guarantee an exact match.

04

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

05

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

06

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

07

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.

08

MCP tools not available

Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
