## Description

This MCP server provides a comprehensive enterprise budgeting framework for livestock producers. It allows AI agents to model the financial impact of scaling operations by calculating upfront capital requirements, yearly debt obligations, and long-term cash flow projections. Using `calculate_capital_requirements`, agents can determine initial investment needs for land and facilities. With `calculate_debt_and_operations`, they can assess the impact of financing and increased operating costs. Finally, `project_expansion_cash_flow` enables detailed multi-year forecasting that accounts for phased expansion and market risk factors.

## Tools

### calculate_capital_requirements
Determine the total upfront investment required for the expansion

### calculate_debt_and_operations
Calculate yearly financial obligations from capital and increased herd size

### project_expansion_cash_flow
Forecast financial health over time, accounting for revenue and risk

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the total upfront investment needed for a herd of 500 animals with $50,000 in facilities, $20,000 in equipment, and $30,000 for land.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total capital required for this expansion is $100,000.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What will be my annual debt service if I borrow $100,000 at a 5% interest rate over 10 years, with a current herd of 100 and target of 500, and $200 operating cost per head?
```

**Response:** 
```
The annual debt service is $12,950.46, and the additional operating costs for the 400 new animals will be $80,000.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Project the cash flow for a $100,000 investment with $12,000 annual debt, $80,000 operating costs, $500 revenue per head, 500 target animals, 2 phases, and a 10% risk factor.
```

**Response:** 
```
In Year 1, the net cash flow is $145,000 with a cumulative flow of $145,000. In Year 2, the net cash flow is $145,000 with a cumulative flow of $290,000.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool handle expansion stages?**
The `project_expansion_cash_flow` tool allows you to specify the number of expansion phases, spreading capital costs and revenue increases across those stages to model a realistic growth trajectory.

**Can I account for market volatility?**
Yes, you can use the `riskAdjustmentFactor` in the cash flow tool to reduce expected revenue, simulating conservative, moderate, or aggressive market conditions.

**What inputs are needed for capital requirements?**
To use `calculate_capital_requirements`, you need the target herd size, estimated facility costs, equipment needs, and additional land requirements.
