## Description

Planning an event is risky if you don't know your numbers. This MCP gives your AI agent the ability to run precise financial models for any gathering, from small workshops to large conferences. Instead of manually crunching numbers in a spreadsheet, you can ask your AI client to aggregate your venue and marketing expenses or figure out how much cash you actually keep from every ticket sold after transaction fees. You can use it to find your break-even point or run different scenarios to see how much profit you'll make at specific attendance levels. It turns your agent into a financial planner that understands the relationship between fixed overhead, variable costs, and ticket pricing.

## Tools

### get_net_ticket_revenue_per_person
This tool calculates the actual cash you keep from a single ticket sale after subtracting fees and refunds.

### get_total_fixed_costs
Use this to add up all your non-variable expenses like venue rental and speaker fees to find your baseline cost.

### simulate_profit_at_attendance
This tool predicts your total profit or loss based on a specific number of attendees.

### calculate_break_even_attendance
This tool finds the minimum number of attendees required to cover every fixed and variable cost.

## Prompt Examples

```
How many people do I need to attend my event to break even if my fixed costs are $5000, net revenue per person is $50, and variable cost per person is $10?
```

**Response:** 
```
You need 125 attendees to reach the break-even point.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What will my profit be if I have 200 attendees with $50 net revenue per person, $10 variable cost, and $5000 in fixed costs?
```

**Response:** 
```
With 200 attendees, your total revenue will be $10,000, your total cost will be $7,000, resulting in a net profit of $3,000.
```
