Calculate per-hectare overhead in Windsurf

The `calculate_total_area_cost` tool computes your total planting margins per hectare so you can stop guessing your seasonal budget. It pulls your raw land rent, seed pricing, and chemical bills directly into your workspace. You get a clear dollar figure without manually building spreadsheets. Cascade executes the calculation automatically when you ask for a seasonal budget projection. This saves you from digging through old receipts. The final numbers appear right in your chat.

Break down input expenses automatically

The `analyze_cost_distribution` tool in this MCP groups your seasonal expenses so you can see exactly where your cash is leaking. You get a clean breakdown of fixed overhead versus variable inputs. This highlights where your cash goes before you commit to pre-orders. Cascade isolates high-cost categories on demand. It shows you the exact percentage of your budget consumed by chemical treatments. That makes it easy to renegotiate supplier contracts.

Run regional benchmarking and unit cost checks

The `calculate_unit_cost` and `compare_regional_benchmark` tools measure your farm's performance against local averages to find your true unit margin. Knowing your total spend is only half the battle. You need to know if you are overpaying compared to the county average. Cascade compares your yield metrics against regional databases. You will immediately see if your $12.50 break-even target is realistic. The number is the number; this MCP keeps your financial planning grounded in real-world market conditions.
