## Description

This MCP server provides a suite of economic analysis tools to quantify the financial health of an AI model registry. It calculates monthly operating costs by analyzing storage footprints and access patterns, evaluates the Model Lifecycle Value (MLV) based on reproducibility and lineage, and quantifies the governance benefit gained through strict version control. Use `calculate_operating_costs` to monitor storage and egress expenses, `evaluate_model_lifecycle_value` to assess individual model worth, `quantify_governance_benefit` to measure risk mitigation, and `generate_economic_summary` to determine the total ROI of your registry ecosystem.

## Tools

### calculate_operating_costs
Calculates the total monthly operating cost for the model registry

### evaluate_model_lifecycle_value
Evaluates the economic worth of a specific model based on its utility and lineage

### generate_economic_summary
Generates an overall ROI and financial health summary for the model registry ecosystem

### quantify_governance_benefit
Quantifies the cost-avoidance value realized through strict version control and lineage tracking

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are my monthly operating costs if I have 500GB of models and 50 retrievals per month at $0.02/GB and $0.05/retrieval?
```

**Response:** 
```
Your total monthly operating cost is $11.00 ($10.00 for storage and $1.00 for access).
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the lifecycle value of model 'resnet-50-v2' with a base utility of 500, a reproducibility score of 0.9, and a lineage depth of 5?
```

**Response:** 
```
The lifecycle value for model 'resnet-50-v2' is 2250.0.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the governance benefit for 100 models with a risk mitigation factor of 50 and a 'strict' compliance level.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total governance benefit is 5000.0.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How are operating costs calculated?**
Operating costs are determined by summing the storage cost (total GB used multiplied by unit storage cost) and the access cost (frequency of model retrievals multiplied by unit access cost) using the `calculate_operating_costs` tool.

**What is the purpose of the governance benefit calculation?**
The `quantify_governance_benefit` tool calculates the cost-avoidance value realized through strict version control and lineage tracking, representing the insurance value against compliance failures or redundant training.

**Can I see the overall ROI of my registry?**
Yes, by using the `generate_economic_summary` tool, you can calculate the net economic impact and the ROI percentage based on operating costs, lifecycle value, and governance benefits.
