Spot real cash decay with this MCP Server

This MCP provides `compute_absolute_inflationary_erosion` to calculate how much cash value you actually lose to rising prices over time. Most investors look at nominal gains and ignore the quiet tax of inflation, which is a fast way to go broke slowly. Cascade uses this tool to immediately convert raw portfolio balances into realistic, inflation-adjusted dollars. You set the target, and your agent chains the math without you having to write a single script.

Measure what your money actually buys

The `calculate_purchasing_power_ratio` tool determines the exact percentage of buying power your capital preserves across different periods. It cuts through the Wall Street noise to show if your cash is actually keeping up with the real world. Your agent runs this calculation automatically when you ask about historical asset performance. It handles the indexing behind the scenes so you see the blunt truth of your wealth.

Calculate true yields instantly

You get `get_real_return_percentage` to compute exact real returns using the Fisher equation instead of lazy subtraction. Simple subtraction lies to you about your yields, especially when rates climb. Cascade pulls this tool to evaluate potential investments against current CPI data. It builds a complete picture of your actual yield before you commit a single dollar to a bad trade.
