## Description

You can stop manually building spreadsheets just to figure out if your marketing is actually working. This MCP gives your AI client the specific tools it needs to run complex customer acquisition math. Instead of you doing the arithmetic, your agent can aggregate marketing, sales, and tool overhead to find your blended CAC in seconds. 

You can dig into the details by asking your agent to isolate costs for specific paths or to see how quickly a new customer pays back their acquisition cost. It's built to bridge the gap between raw spend data and actionable unit economics. Whether you need to see if your organic growth is outperforming paid ads or if you need to know the exact payback period for a specific channel, this MCP handles the heavy lifting. You just provide the numbers, and your agent provides the analysis.
