## Description

This MCP server provides specialized financial tools for vineyard owners and winery procurement officers. It uses a gross margin pricing model to determine the economic viability of grape purchases. By working backward from projected wine prices, the tools calculate the maximum allowable grape price per ton, identify break-even points, and analyze how changes in yield impact your budget. Use `calculate_max_grape_price` to set purchase limits and `analyze_pricing_sensitivity` to understand yield risks.

## Tools

### get_tier_multipliers
Retrieves the strategic multipliers used to adjust projected prices based on brand positioning

### analyze_pricing_sensitivity
Evaluates how changes in yield or wine price impact the allowable grape budget

### calculate_break_even_grape_cost
Finds the "floor" price--the grape cost at which the winery makes zero profit

### calculate_max_grape_price
Determines the absolute highest price a winery can pay for a ton of grapes to achieve their target margin

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the maximum price I can pay for grapes if I expect to sell wine for $25 per bottle, with a yield of 120 gallons per ton, $5 winemaking cost, $2 packaging cost, and a 40% target margin?
```

**Response:** 
```
The maximum allowable price for grapes is $132.00 per ton.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Find the break-even grape cost for a wine priced at $15 per bottle with a yield of 100 gallons per ton, $4 winemaking cost, and $1.50 packaging cost.
```

**Response:** 
```
The break-even grape price is $950.00 per ton.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much would my maximum grape price change if my yield increases by 10% for a $30 wine with a 35% margin?
```

**Response:** 
```
A 10% increase in yield would increase your maximum allowable grape price by $18.45 per ton.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the pricing model work?**
The model uses a gross margin approach, calculating the maximum allowable grape cost by subtracting winemaking, packaging, and target profit from the projected wine price, then scaling by the yield per ton.

**Can I analyze how yield changes affect my grape budget?**
Yes, you can use the `analyze_pricing_sensitivity` tool to see how a change in yield per ton impacts your maximum grape price.

**What is the difference between standard and luxury tiers?**
Different quality tiers adjust the cost-scaling factors used in production planning to account for specialized handling and packaging requirements.
