## Description

Stop guessing your margins. This MCP gives your AI client the ability to run precise financial models for your resale business. Instead of manually calculating fees and shipping for every flip, you can just tell your agent what you paid and what you expect to sell it for. It accounts for the messy details like repair costs, platform-specific fees, and tax obligations. If you are managing a large inventory, you can aggregate your projected profits and total risk across hundreds of items at once. You can also use it to decide which marketplace to use for a specific item or to see how much a spike in returns would actually cost you. It turns your AI agent into a dedicated financial controller for your inventory.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is my expected net profit for an item bought for $50, with $10 in repairs, selling for $120, with a 12% platform fee, $8 shipping, $5 return shipping, 20% tax, and a 10% return probability?
```

**Response:** 
```
Your expected net profit for this item is $34.20.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Should I sell this item on eBay with a 13% fee or Depop with an 10% fee? The item costs $40 to buy, $5 to repair, $10 to ship, and sells for $80. Tax is 15%.
```

**Response:** 
```
Depop is the best platform, yielding a higher net profit.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Perform a risk analysis: current return rate is 5%, but what happens if it jumps to 15%? Item costs: $100 purchase, $20 repair, $150 sale, 10% fee, $10 shipping, $10 return shipping, 10% tax.
```

**Response:** 
```
At a 15% return rate, your profit would decrease by $2.50 compared to your current 5% return rate.
