Calculate Costs with Type Safety

When your agent calls this MCP, the response is automatically validated against a Pydantic model. You know the numbers coming from `calculate_monthly_unit_cost` and `calculate_storage_expenditure` are correctly formatted every time. If the tool ever returned a malformed number or an unexpected field, your agent would raise a `ValidationError` instantly. Bad data can't silently corrupt your agent's logic.

Validate Your Strategy with Pydantic AI

Make decisions based on data you can trust. Your agent can use `calculate_required_price_spread` to find its breakeven target, knowing the output is a clean float, not a string with a typo. Then, `evaluate_selling_strategy` provides the final go/no-go recommendation. Because Pydantic AI enforces the output schema of this MCP, you know the result is always a predictable, structured response, not a hallucinated paragraph.

Model-Agnostic Financial Tools

Use this Grain Storage Cost Calculator with any LLM that Pydantic AI supports. It works the same with models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or even a local model running on your machine. The financial logic is separate from the language model. Pydantic AI's validation layer guarantees you get consistent, reliable behavior no matter which backend you're using.
