## Description

Stop building manual spreadsheets every time you need to check your unit economics. This MCP gives your AI client the math tools to handle complex SaaS financial modeling. You can quickly figure out if your current acquisition spend is sustainable by looking at how fast you recover costs. Instead of guessing, you can use these tools to model specific customer cohorts and see how they impact your month-over-month cash flow. It works by taking your raw inputs like churn, gross margin, and CAC to produce concrete metrics. Whether you are checking if a new marketing channel is profitable or projecting long-term value, your agent can now run the numbers for you in seconds.
