## Description

Running a SaaS business means constantly watching the relationship between revenue and cost. This MCP gives your AI client the specific math tools needed to dissect those numbers. Instead of manually calculating COGS or trying to estimate how hosting costs will impact your bottom line as you grow, you can just ask your agent to do it. 

You can use it to break down exactly where your revenue is going, whether that's support, hosting, or processing fees. It's built for modeling scenarios, like finding the exact revenue target needed to cover your fixed costs or simulating how your margins improve as you hit higher scale. It moves the heavy lifting of financial modeling from your brain to your AI client, providing clear, data-driven answers to questions about your business health.
