## Description

This MCP server provides tools to calculate the real cost of technical debt. It helps engineering leaders understand how much development velocity is being lost and predicts the exponential growth of debt due to compound interest. Use `get_debt_summary` to see your current burden, `calculate_velocity_loss` to quantify capacity loss, `forecast_debt_growth` to predict future costs, `evaluate_refactoring_roi` to justify investments, and `generate_repayment_plan` to optimize your budget.

## Tools

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is my current technical debt situation?
```

**Response:** 
```
Your current total principal is $50,000, with a monthly interest accrual of $500 at a 1% interest rate.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much will my debt grow in 12 months if I do nothing?
```

**Response:** 
```
If left unaddressed, your debt will grow to a total projected cost of $56,341 over the next 12 months.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is it worth spending $10,000 to fix this debt if it saves $15,000 in interest over 6 months?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, the refactoring has an ROI of 50% with a net benefit of $5,000.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How is interest calculated?**
Interest is calculated as monthly compound interest on the principal cost of all identified debt items.

**Can I use this to justify refactoring to management?**
Yes, by using `evaluate_refactoring_roi`, you can provide a concrete ROI percentage and net benefit to justify the cost of fixing debt.

**What does velocity loss represent?**
It represents the percentage of your team's monthly capacity that is consumed by the friction caused by existing technical debt.
