## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for venture capital fund management. It allows AI agents to determine the ideal fund duration using `calculate_recommended_fund_life`, assess if legal extensions are required via `evaluate_extension_necessity`, forecast capital returns with `project_liquidation_timeline`, and adjust expectations based on economic cycles using `assess_vintage_impact`.

## Tools

### assess_vintage_impact
Adjusts duration expectations based on the economic environment of the fund's starting year

### project_liquidation_timeline
Generates a year-by-year forecast of expected capital returns

### calculate_recommended_fund_life
Determines the ideal total duration for a new fund based on investment profile and exit expectations

### evaluate_extension_necessity
Analyzes whether a fund will require legal extensions to meet its DPI targets

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the recommended fund life for an Early Stage fund with a 7-year holding period and a 1.5 DPI target?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on an Early Stage strategy and a 7-year holding period, the recommended fund life is 10 years to allow for full realization of value and target DPI.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Our fund is 8 years old, the initial term was 10 years, and we expect exits in year 12. Do we need an extension?
```

**Response:** 
```
Yes, an extension is required because the projected exit year exceeds the original 10-year term.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Generate a liquidation timeline for a fund started in 2020 with 50 expected exits and a back-loaded distribution.
```

**Response:** 
```
The projected liquidation timeline shows a concentration of exits in the later years of the fund life, consistent with a back-loaded distribution curve.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the tool determine the recommended fund life?**
The `calculate_recommended_fund_life` tool uses the investment strategy, expected holding periods, and target DPI to model the most efficient duration for capital recycling.

**Can I forecast when my fund will return capital?**
Yes, you can use `project_liquidation_timeline` to generate a year-by-year forecast of expected exits based on your fund's vintage year and exit distribution curve.

**How does market volatility affect my fund duration?**
The `assess_vintage_impact` tool adjusts duration expectations by analyzing the market cycle phase (like Expansion or Contraction) at the time of the fund's inception.
