Key Capabilities
End-to-end execution with Cline
Building custom retirement models is faster when you let your agent do the math. You do not have to write the boilerplate to track your financial independence. You just ask Cline to build a dashboard using your current portfolio data. The agent writes the component and pulls data via `calculate_milestones`. It stages the commit and shows you the diff right in your editor.
Real-time scenario testing
Life changes constantly. You get a raise, or you decide to buy a house. You need to know how those choices affect your retirement date. Tell Cline you want to save an extra thousand dollars a month. It runs `simulate_contribution_impact` to update your models immediately. The results appear directly in your workspace.
Customizing your target number
The four percent rule is a decent starting point. But you probably have specific spending goals for your post-work life. This MCP provides `get_lifestyle_targets` so your agent can calculate the exact capital required for your specific budget. Cline can even write a script to check your progress automatically.
