Figuard MCP

A travel-booking agent hit a Stripe timeout and retried twice. The customer's card was charged three times for the same flight before anyone noticed - 40 minutes later. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with agent billing, autonomous agents and budget enforcement and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Java.
