## Description

You can stop guessing if your affiliate program is actually making money. This MCP gives your agent the specific financial tools required to run deep profitability audits. Instead of manually building spreadsheets to check your margins, you can ask your AI client to run the numbers for you. You can use it to figure out the exact margin you keep after paying out commissions, or to see how much a specific tier of affiliates will cost you as you scale. It handles the heavy lifting of calculating effective CAC and total program P&L, so you can focus on strategy rather than arithmetic. Whether you are testing a new commission structure or auditing existing partners, this MCP provides the mathematical backbone for your marketing decisions.
