## Description

This MCP server provides tools to model the economic impact of image generation workflows. It allows users to determine the base cost of production using `calculate_unit_generation_cost`, project long-term storage expenses with `calculate_storage_projection`, and evaluate the balance between visual quality and budget via `analyze_quality_efficiency`. It also provides a holistic view of total production expenditure through `estimate_total_workflow_cost`.

## Tools

### calculate_unit_generation_cost
Determines the base cost of producing a single image based on model and resolution

### estimate_total_workflow_cost
Provides a holistic view of the total expenditure (generation + storage) for a specific production run

### analyze_quality_efficiency
Evaluates the economic trade-off between image quality and cost

### calculate_storage_projection
Estimates the long-term storage expense for a given volume of images

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the cost to generate 1000 images at a unit cost of $0.05 with a projected storage cost of $50?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total generation cost is $50.00, and with the $50.00 storage cost, the grand total is $100.00.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the unit cost for a premium model with a base cost of $0.10 and a resolution factor of 2.5.
```

**Response:** 
```
The unit cost for this generation is $0.25.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
If I have 500 images averaging 2MB each and storage costs $0.02 per GB, what is my storage projection?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total storage required is approximately 0.0095 GB, resulting in a total storage cost of $0.00019.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does resolution affect my costs?**
Higher resolutions increase the computational complexity, which is reflected in the unit cost when using `calculate_unit_generation_cost`.

**Can I predict my long-term storage costs?**
Yes, you can use `calculate_storage_projection` to estimate how much storage will cost based on the number of images and their average file size.

**How do I know if my image quality is worth the price?**
The `analyze_quality_efficiency` tool evaluates the ratio of quality to cost to help you find the optimal balance for your budget.
