Straight-Line, Done Right

This MCP calculates straight-line depreciation. You provide the asset cost, salvage value, and useful life, and the `calculate_straight_line` tool returns the annual depreciation expense. No more manual formula errors. Tell Windsurf's Cascade to generate a full depreciation schedule for a new fleet of laptops. It will call the tool for each asset and format the output. You get a clean table, ready for your books.

Accelerated Depreciation Models

For faster write-offs, this MCP supports accelerated methods. Use `calculate_sum_of_years_digits` for a front-loaded schedule, or `calculate_declining_balance` for aggressive early-year depreciation. The math is baked in, so it's always correct. This isn't just a calculator. Point Cascade at a list of assets and tell it to apply the 200% declining balance method. It will run the calculation on the entire list and give you the complete schedule. It's faster than doing one by hand.

Audit-Ready MCP Server

Every calculation is a distinct, auditable transaction. When you ask your agent to run a depreciation scenario, the inputs and outputs are logged. This gives you a clear trail for compliance checks. Look, IRS audits are triggered by sloppy numbers. With this MCP server, the calculations are consistent and repeatable. Windsurf can even export the results directly into a report, so your work is documented from start to finish.

Common questions about Depreciation Calculator MCP in Windsurf

Cascade can use the Depreciation Calculator tools in multi-step workflows. For example, you can ask it to 'depreciate all new assets acquired this quarter using the straight-line method'. Cascade will identify the assets, call the right tool, and compile the results for you.

Yes. Just ask Windsurf to calculate depreciation for an asset using all three methods. It will call the tools to get the numbers for each method, then show you a side-by-side comparison.

You just need an active Vinkius subscription and Windsurf. Find the Depreciation Calculator in the built-in MCP Marketplace and click to install. The tools are immediately available to Cascade.

Simply prompt Cascade with the asset's details and the desired method. For example: 'Create a 5-year straight-line depreciation schedule for a $50,000 truck with a $5,000 salvage value.' It will handle the rest.

This MCP is stateless. It calculates depreciation based on the numbers you provide in your prompt—cost, salvage value, useful life—and doesn't store any of it. Your financial data stays within your Windsurf session and is never logged by the MCP.
