Pinpoint Your Cash Flow Gaps

This MCP gives your agents the tools to analyze working capital. Your research agent can feed financial data into `calculate_cycle_metrics` to compute the core components: Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO), Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), and Days Payables Outstanding (DPO). The tool then returns the final Cash Conversion Cycle (C2C) number. A separate analyst agent takes that output and immediately sees how long cash is tied up in operations. It's not just a number; it's a diagnosis. You get a clear picture of whether you're slow to collect from customers, holding too much inventory, or paying suppliers too quickly.

Get Specific Optimization Steps

Knowing your C2C is one thing; knowing what to do about it is another. A benchmarking agent can run `lookup_industry_standard` to pull C2C averages for retail, wholesale, tech, or manufacturing. You instantly see if your numbers are out of line with your sector. Armed with that context, a strategy agent uses `evaluate_operational_health` to get concrete advice. The tool analyzes your cycle against the benchmark and tells you which lever to pull. It might suggest reducing inventory, shortening collection periods, or extending payment terms to free up cash.

Deploy a Fully Autonomous Finance Crew

This isn't about running one-off calculations. It's about building a system. You can configure a crew of agents that continuously monitors your company's C2C. One agent pulls data, another calculates the cycle, a third compares it to industry benchmarks, and a fourth flags any negative trends. Set up your crew to run on a schedule, like weekly or monthly. If your C2C starts to creep up, an alert agent can notify your finance team in Slack or create a task in your project management tool. This turns a manual financial review into an automated, background process.

Setup guide

Set up Cash-to-Cash Cycle Calculator MCP in CrewAI

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai package (pip install crewai)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install CrewAI
Run pip install crewai to install the framework. MCP support is built-in via the mcps parameter.
2

Add the MCP URL to your agent
Pass your Vinkius endpoint directly to the mcps list. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. CrewAI handles tool discovery and caching automatically.
3

Kick off your crew
Create a Crew with your agent and tasks. Call crew.kickoff() — the agent will automatically invoke Cash-to-Cash Cycle Calculator tools as needed.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew

agent = Agent(
    role="Cash-to-Cash Cycle Calculator Analyst",
    goal="Access and analyze Cash-to-Cash Cycle Calculator data via MCP.",
    backstory="Expert analyst with direct Cash-to-Cash Cycle Calculator access.",
    mcps=[
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    ],
)

task = Task(
    description="List recent Cash-to-Cash Cycle Calculator transactions",
    agent=agent,
    expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
)

crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
result = crew.kickoff()
print(result)

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
crewai + crewai-tools packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install crewai crewai-tools. The MCPServerAdapter handles lifecycle management and tool conversion.
2

Connect with MCPServerAdapter
Use MCPServerAdapter as a context manager with SseServerParameters pointing to your Vinkius endpoint. The adapter automatically manages connection lifecycle.
3

Assign tools and run
Pass the returned mcp_tools to your agent's tools parameter. The adapter converts MCP tools to native BaseTool objects compatible with all CrewAI agents.

crew.py

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew
from crewai_tools import MCPServerAdapter
from mcp import SseServerParameters

server_params = SseServerParameters(
    url="https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)

with MCPServerAdapter(server_params) as mcp_tools:
    agent = Agent(
        role="Cash-to-Cash Cycle Calculator Analyst",
        goal="Access and analyze Cash-to-Cash Cycle Calculator data via MCP.",
        backstory="Expert analyst with direct Cash-to-Cash Cycle Calculator access.",
        tools=mcp_tools,
    )

    task = Task(
        description="List recent Cash-to-Cash Cycle Calculator transactions",
        agent=agent,
        expected_output="A summary of recent activity",
    )

    crew = Crew(agents=[agent], tasks=[task])
    result = crew.kickoff()

Common questions about Cash-to-Cash Cycle Calculator MCP in CrewAI

Your agents use the tools in this MCP to turn raw financials into a clear C2C number. This immediately shows how many days your cash is stuck in operations, pointing directly to inefficiencies in inventory, receivables, or payables.

A good starting point is a three-agent crew. An Analyst Agent to run calculations, a Strategist Agent to compare with benchmarks and suggest actions, and a Reporting Agent to summarize findings. This structure separates calculation from interpretation.

Yes, that's a primary use case. You can create a monitoring crew that runs on a schedule, calculates the C2C, and logs the results. An escalation agent can then be programmed to trigger alerts if the C2C deviates from your target range.

The main tool needs your company's revenue, cost of goods sold (COGS), and average balances for inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. You can provide these as direct inputs for your agents to use.

Your data is safe. This MCP is stateless, meaning it processes your financial inputs like revenue, COGS, and inventory levels in memory only for the calculation. None of your sensitive financial data is ever logged or stored.
