Automated trip cost planning

Windsurf reads your destination and vehicle specs to run `calculate_trip_cost` without you lifting a finger. It maps out your expenses so you know exactly what to set aside. This MCP handles the math while you focus on the road. You get a clear breakdown of every dollar spent before you even turn the key.

Real-time fuel efficiency analysis

Stop overpaying at the pump by letting your agent run `compare_fuel_efficiency` against current market rates. It checks if ethanol or gas is actually saving you money today. Your agent adapts to price shifts instantly. It avoids those expensive fill-ups that look cheap but burn through your wallet faster.

Full trip summaries for your records

Once the drive is mapped, `get_trip_summary` compiles the final data into a clean report. It keeps your financial tracking honest and accurate. This MCP acts as your personal bookkeeper for travel. You never have to manually log your expenses again.
