## Description

You can stop digging through spreadsheets to figure out if your marketing is actually working. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to pull specific financial metrics and turn them into actionable insights. You can ask your agent to calculate your total CAC for a specific period or break down which platforms are actually driving growth. If you need to know if you're overspending, your agent can compare current costs against your set thresholds. It also handles period-over-period comparisons, so you can see if your acquisition efficiency is trending up or down. It turns your AI into a marketing analyst that understands your spend, your customer counts, and your efficiency targets.
