## Description

Stop guessing what a creator should charge or what a brand should pay. This MCP acts as a dedicated pricing engine that converts raw social media metrics into actionable commercial terms. You provide the audience size, engagement rates, and platform data, and your AI client handles the math for the entire deal structure.

You can use it to build out full commercial offers from scratch. It accounts for the extra costs of high-complexity content or specific legal usage rights that often get overlooked in quick chats. Beyond just setting a price, it helps you prepare for the back-and-forth of a deal by simulating different discount scenarios. This ensures you never agree to a rate that falls below your required profit margins or strategic floor.
