Tip Calculation

What it grounds

Give enterprise agents tip and bill-splitting math through the same real-data layer, returning per-person totals across any currency per call.

Ways to ground with it

Ground answers in real data

Enable Tip Calculation and it becomes a tool your agent calls over MCP to check itself against live data before it answers — grounding the response instead of guessing.

On the same endpoint and key

Tip Calculation rides the one VerveContext MCP endpoint alongside 300+ other sources, so adding it to an agent is a toggle, not an integration.

Traceable and current

The agent pulls tip calculation at answer time and can carry the source with the result, so the reasoning stays current and auditable.

Connect over MCP

Point your agent framework at the VerveContext endpoint. Every enabled source — this one included — becomes a tool the model can call. No per-source plumbing.

How to ground an agent in it over MCP.

How do I give my agent Tip Calculation?

Enable it on VerveContext and point your agent framework at the VerveContext MCP endpoint. Tip Calculation then appears to the model as a tool named tipcalculator, which it calls when a task needs it — no per-source plumbing.

Which agents and frameworks can use it?

Any MCP client — Claude, Cursor, LangChain, and custom agents all speak the Model Context Protocol. Tip Calculation is exposed as a standard tool, so nothing source-specific is required.

Can the agent cite Tip Calculation?

Tip Calculation is a capability rather than a factual source, so it isn't something to "cite" — but it runs on the same real-data layer, over the same MCP endpoint and key as every grounding source.

How many credits does a Tip Calculation call cost?

Each call costs 1 credit. Scoped keys let you grant an agent only the sources it should reach, and usage logs show exactly what was pulled to ground each answer.

How current is the data?

Tip Calculation is served live from APIVerve's production data engine and pulled at the moment the agent calls it, so answers reflect the world now rather than the model's training cutoff.

Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?

VerveContext runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; Tip Calculation is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.
