Team-Wide Loan Comparison in VS Code Copilot

The `compare_two_loans` tool gives your VS Code Copilot agent the ability to run deterministic financial comparisons across your entire engineering team. By committing the configuration to your repository, every developer gains access to the same standardized loan math tools. This shared environment eliminates discrepancies in how your team calculates loan options. Your agent can quickly verify financial logic in pull requests using the same underlying engine.

Generate Standardized Amortization Schedules

The `calculate_loan_amortization` tool computes complete PRICE or SAC schedules directly inside the VS Code Copilot chat window. Developers can test their financial UI components against real-world math without leaving the IDE. The tool handles the complex math of principal and interest splits instantly. Your team can build functional financial dashboards using validated calculations provided by this local MCP Server.

Verify Effective Interest Rates Locally

The `calculate_effective_interest_rate` tool converts nominal rates to effective annual rates to help your team audit financial calculations in VS Code Copilot. Using this tool alongside `calculate_loan_payoff_speed` allows your agent to verify interest-saving logic directly in your workspace. This local execution ensures your financial applications remain compliant with lending standards. The MCP Server handles the math, so your developers can focus on building the application.
