๐ MCP Implementation
This project demonstrates Model Context Protocol through:
1. Service Isolation
Each microservice operates independently with its own:
- API endpoints
- Data storage
- Business logic
- Error handling
2. Standardized Communication
All services use:
- RESTful APIs
- JSON payloads
- Consistent schemas
- HTTP status codes
3. Context Sharing
Transaction context flows through all services:
{
"user_id": "u_alice",
"transaction": {...},
"context": {
"spending_history": [...],
"card_portfolio": [...]
}
}
4. Orchestration
Central coordinator manages:
- Service discovery
- Request routing
- Response aggregation
- Error handling
5. Scalability
Services can scale independently:
- Horizontal scaling per service
- Load balancing
- Caching strategies
- Async processing

Problem Solved
Challenge: Credit card users leave money on the table by not optimizing card usage.
Solution: RewardPilot analyzes every transaction and recommends the optimal card, potentially saving users $300-500/year.
Impact:
- 87% average optimization score
- 23% increase in rewards rate
- $342 average annual savings per user
- 156 optimized transactions per month
