Calculate exact yields with this MCP Server

Stop writing custom compounding math from scratch. Use `calculate_cd_yield` to instantly get the final value of any deposit based on its term and interest rate. Your agent calls the tool and writes the resulting math directly into your active file. No manual calculations required.

Fetch market benchmarks in Cursor

Compare your yield models against what the real market pays. Run `fetch_market_benchmarks` to pull the latest liquid alternative rates. This MCP ensures your code has immediate context on current high-yield savings and money market rates. No more hardcoding outdated numbers.

Generate side-by-side investment comparisons

Build clear comparisons for your users or your own portfolio. Trigger `generate_investment_comparison` to see how a CD compares to liquid assets. The tool outputs a clean breakdown that your agent can format into markdown, JSON, or UI components. You get fast, structured data without leaving your editor.
