## Description

Stop guessing at your margins. This MCP gives your AI agent the specific math tools it needs to build professional service quotes from scratch. Instead of manually calculating labor hours and adding surcharges for extra revisions, you just give your agent the project details. It handles the heavy lifting of determining base labor costs and then layers on third-party expenses and your target profit margins to find the final price. You can also use it to verify if a quote actually fits a client's budget before you send it over. It's built to bridge the gap between a messy project scope and a clean, itemized financial report that you can hand directly to a client.

## Tools

### summarize_pricing_breakdown
This tool creates a detailed, itemized view of every pricing component. It's what you use to generate a clear report for a client presentation.

### validate_budget_fit
This tool checks if your calculated quote stays within a client's predefined budget tier. Use it to avoid sending quotes that are immediately out of reach.

### calculate_total_quote
This tool generates the final price for a project. It combines labor, third-party costs, and your target profit margins while accounting for extra revision surcharges.

### get_labor_cost
This tool determines the base cost of professional labor. It calculates what you'll spend based on the specific deliverables required for a job.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the labor cost for deliverables with weights 5, 10, and 3 at an hourly rate of 150.
```

**Response:** 
```
The total estimated hours is 18, and the base labor cost is 2700.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Generate a quote with a base labor cost of 5000, third-party costs of 500, a 30% target margin, 2 included revisions, 4 requested revisions, and a 100 surcharge per extra revision.
```

**Response:** 
```
The final price is 7150, with a profit amount of 1650.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a quote of 4500 within the 'mid' budget tier?
