## Description

This MCP server provides a decision-support system to evaluate the economic and operational efficiency of software toolsets. It allows AI agents to calculate total monthly costs, determine efficiency scores, and identify optimization opportunities. Using tools like `get_stack_economics`, `evaluate_alternative`, `identify_optimization_targets`, and `simulate_stack_evolution`, agents can model the impact of switching tools, accounting for switching costs and learning curves to ensure maximum productivity.

## Tools

### evaluate_alternative
Determines if replacing a specific tool with an alternative is economically viable

### get_stack_economics
Calculates the total financial commitment and the baseline efficiency score for a current set of tools

### identify_optimization_targets
Scans the entire stack to flag tools that are underperforming or over-priced

### simulate_stack_evolution
Predicts how the efficiency score will change if a group of tools is replaced or removed

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the total monthly cost and efficiency score for my current tools?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total monthly cost for your current toolset is $450, with an aggregate efficiency score of 82.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is it worth switching from my current CRM to a cheaper alternative?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, switching is viable. The net value gain is $120 per month after accounting for the $50 switching cost and the learning curve impact.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Which tools in my stack are underperforming?
```

**Response:** 
```
The analysis identified two inefficient tools and one tool with high integration complexity that is dragging down your overall score.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the efficiency score work?**
The efficiency score is a composite metric that balances productivity gains against monetary costs and integration complexity.

**Can I simulate replacing a tool before I buy it?**
Yes, you can use `simulate_stack_evolution` to predict how efficiency and costs will change if you replace or remove tools.

**Does it account for the time it takes to learn new software?**
Yes, the `evaluate_alternative` tool specifically includes a parameter for learning curve impact to account for temporary productivity loss.
