## Description

Running a community class involves more than just showing up. You have fixed costs like venue rentals and materials that need to be covered before you see a single cent of profit. This MCP gives your AI client the specific financial logic needed to manage those numbers. Instead of manually building spreadsheets, you can ask your agent to run the math for you. You can find your break-even point to ensure a class is viable, or use it to see how much extra cash you'll have if you hit a certain enrollment target. If you are debating between two different price points, the MCP can run the comparison for you instantly. It takes the guesswork out of pricing and helps you plan for both the best and worst case scenarios.
