## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is the difference between cash and accrual basis in farming?**
Cash basis tracks physical money moving in and out, while accrual basis matches income and expenses to when they actually occurred. This tool uses `generate_reconciliation_schedule` to show exactly how to bridge that gap.

**How does inventory affect my accrual income?**
An increase in inventory (like stored grain) is treated as earned revenue, while a decrease is treated as an expense. You can use `get_accrual_revenue` to include these changes in your totals.

**Can I use this with Cursor or Claude Desktop?**
Yes, this MCP server can be connected to Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, and any other MCP-compatible client via Vinkius Edge.
