Travel Per Diem & Allowance Calculator MCP MCP server

This MCP server provides compliant per diem calculations using official US GSA, US State Dept, German BMF, and UK HMRC rates. It allows agents to retrieve specific daily allowances for travel itineraries, handling partial days, meal deductions, and multi-country rules automatically. It is designed for integration into expense management, travel SaaS, and AI finance tools to eliminate manual spreadsheet tracking of government rate updates.
