## Description

This MCP server provides a complete techno-economic modeling suite for petrochemical production. It allows AI agents to calculate total production costs using `get_production_cost`, determine profitability via `get_process_margin`, evaluate long-term investment viability with `calculate_project_npv`, and perform risk assessments through `run_sensitivity_analysis`. It accounts for CAPEX, OPEX, feedstock volatility, and scale effects to provide precise financial insights for chemical plant planning.

## Tools

### calculate_project_npv
Evaluates the long-term financial viability of the plant investment

### get_process_margin
Determines the profitability per unit of production

### get_production_cost
Calculates the total cost of producing a specific volume of product

### run_sensitivity_analysis
Identifies which economic driver has the most significant impact on the project's NPV

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the total production cost for a plant with 500,000 unit capacity, $50 feedstock price, and $20 operating cost per unit?
```

**Response:** 
```
The total production cost for a capacity of 500,000 units is $35,000,000, with a unit cost of $70.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the margin if the unit cost is $70 and the product price is $100.
```

**Response:** 
```
The margin per unit is $30, which represents a 30% margin percentage.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Evaluate a project with $10,000,000 investment, $2,000,000 annual cash flow, 10% discount rate, and 10 years life.
```

**Response:** 
```
The Net Present Value (NPV) for this project is $2,355,000.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool handle scale effects?**
The `get_production_cost` tool incorporates scale effects by calculating the total production cost based on the provided capacity, ensuring that unit costs reflect the efficiencies of larger production volumes.

**Can I perform risk assessment on my project?**
Yes, you can use `run_sensitivity_analysis` to identify which economic drivers, such as feedstock price or CAPEX, have the most significant impact on your project's NPV.

**What inputs are needed for NPV calculation?**
To use `calculate_project_npv`, you must provide the initial investment (CAPEX), annual cash flow, the discount rate, and the total project life in years.
