## Description

This MCP server provides tools to model the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for AI applications using vector embeddings. It allows you to calculate the `calculate_initial_setup_costs` for new datasets, estimate `calculate_maintenance_costs` for ongoing updates and storage, and use `simulate_optimization_impact` to see how much you can save through caching and batching. It is designed to help developers and product managers plan budgets for RAG-based applications.

## Tools

### calculate_initial_setup_costs
Determines the one-time cost to embed an initial dataset

### calculate_maintenance_costs
Estimates the recurring costs for updates and storage over a specific period

### get_cost_summary_report
Provides a high-level overview of the entire economic profile of the AI application

### simulate_optimization_impact
Evaluates how much money can be saved by applying batching and caching

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the initial cost to embed 10,000 items with 500 tokens each at $0.02 per 1k tokens?
```

**Response:** 
```
The initial embedding cost for 10,000 items is $10.00.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate monthly maintenance for 5,000 items, updating 100 items per week, with 500 tokens per item and $0.02 per 1k tokens.
```

**Response:** 
```
The monthly update cost is $0.40 and the monthly storage cost depends on your specific provider, but the tool will provide the total recurring cost based on your input.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much can I save if I have a 50% cache hit rate and 20% batching efficiency?
```

**Response:** 
```
Applying a 50% cache hit rate and 20% batching efficiency will reduce your monthly update costs significantly based on your current baseline.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the initial cost of embedding my data?**
You can use the `calculate_initial_setup_costs` tool by providing the total number of items, the average tokens per item, and the cost per 1,000 tokens.

**Can I estimate savings from using a cache?**
Yes, the `simulate_optimization_impact` tool allows you to input a cache hit rate to see the potential reduction in monthly update costs.

**Does this account for vector database storage fees?**
Yes, the `calculate_maintenance_costs` tool includes a parameter for monthly storage cost per item to provide a complete recurring cost estimate.
