## Description

This MCP server provides a suite of engineering economic tools to evaluate chemical manufacturing projects. Use `get_project_profitability` to calculate NPV and IRR, `get_production_cost_breakdown` to analyze unit costs, `get_payback_analysis` to determine investment recovery time, and `get_sensitivity_matrix` to assess how price fluctuations impact profitability.

## Tools

### get_payback_analysis
Calculates the payback period and whether the investment is recouped within the project life

### get_production_cost_breakdown
Calculates unit production cost and its distribution into fixed and variable components

### get_project_profitability
Calculates NPV, IRR, paybackPeriod, annualNetProfit, and unitProductionCost for a chemical process

### get_sensitivity_matrix
Calculates NPV sensitivity to changes in product price

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a chemical process with $10M CAPEX, $2M annual OPEX, 50k units/year production, and $100/unit price viable at a 10% discount rate over 10 years with 25% tax?
```

**Response:** 
```
The project has a positive NPV of $12,450,000 and an IRR of 18.5%, indicating it is a sound investment.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the unit production cost for a plant with $5M CAPEX, $1M annual OPEX, 10k units/year, and a 5-year lifespan?
```

**Response:** 
```
The unit production cost is $200 per unit.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How long will it take to recover a $2M investment if the annual net cash flow is $500,000?
```

**Response:** 
```
The payback period is 4 years.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What metrics can I calculate for my chemical plant?**
You can calculate Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), payback period, unit production costs, and sensitivity analysis for product price changes.

**How does the tool handle taxes?**
Taxes are applied to the profit, which is calculated as revenue minus operating costs and straight-line depreciation.

**Can I perform sensitivity analysis?**
Yes, using `get_sensitivity_matrix`, you can see how variations in product price affect the project's NPV.
