# ARR Bridge Calculator MCP > ARR Bridge Calculator helps you break down exactly where your recurring revenue is coming from and where it's leaking. It identifies the specific drivers—like expansion, churn, and reactivations—so you don't have to guess why your numbers moved. It turns messy subscription data into a clear story of growth or contraction over time. ## Overview - **Category:** finance - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** arr, revenue, subscription, financial-metrics, saas-analytics ## Description Imagine you're looking at a revenue report and the numbers just don't add up. You know the company grew, but you can't tell if it was from new customers or just existing ones spending more. This MCP handles the heavy lifting of decomposing those movements. Instead of hunting through spreadsheets to find out why a specific month dipped, you can just ask your agent to pull the breakdown. It looks at the flow of money, tracking how many people came back, how much more they spent, and who walked away. It's about getting to the why behind the what without the manual data entry. Since Vinkius hosts this in their catalog, you can plug it into your existing workflow and start getting these answers in seconds. It turns a three-hour audit into a quick conversation with your AI. You get a clear view of New ARR, Expansion, Reactivation, Contraction, and Churn, allowing you to track Net New ARR and long-term trends with actual precision. ## Tools ### analyze_component_trends Shows if a specific revenue driver like expansion is growing or shrinking over time. ### get_bridge_waterfall_sequence Creates a chronological list of revenue movements over a chosen date range. ### get_monthly_bridge_summary Gives a full breakdown of all revenue components for one specific month. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Show me the ARR breakdown for January 2024. ``` **Response:** ``` In January 2024, your New ARR was $50,000, Expansion was $10,000, Reactivation was $5,000, while Contraction was $2,000 and Churn was $3,000, resulting in a Net New ARR of $60,000. ``` **Prompt:** ``` What is the revenue trend for expansion from 2024-01 to 2024-06? ``` **Response:** ``` The expansion component shows an improving trend, with a value of $15,000 in June 2024, representing a 12% increase compared to the previous period. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Give me a waterfall sequence of my revenue from 2024-01 to 2024-03. ``` **Response:** ``` The sequence shows: Jan 2024 ($60,000 Net New), Feb 2024 ($55,000 Net New), and Mar 2024 ($62,000 Net New). ``` ## Capabilities ### Break down monthly revenue drivers Get a full breakdown of every component that moved your ARR in a specific month. ### Map out chronological revenue flows Generate a step-by-step sequence of revenue movements over a set date range. ### Identify growth trends for specific segments See if specific drivers like expansion or reactivations are growing or shrinking over time. ### Spot revenue leaks in real-time Pinpoint exactly where contraction and churn are hitting your bottom line. ### Track net new revenue movements Calculate your true growth by isolating new sales from existing account expansion. ### Visualize expansion vs. churn Compare how much you're gaining from current customers versus how many are leaving. ## Use Cases ### Explaining a monthly revenue dip A Finance Manager notices a dip in June.
