## Description

You can stop guessing when you'll be able to retire. This MCP gives your AI client the math tools it needs to turn your current savings and investment data into a clear timeline. If you have a specific target in mind, your agent can calculate the exact number of years required to reach it based on your current trajectory. You can test different paths by comparing how changing your savings rate or expected returns changes your end date. It also handles the reality of inflation, showing you how much your money's value might drop over time so you aren't caught off guard. It's a direct way to turn raw financial numbers into a roadmap for your independence.
