Execute financial math in Claude Code

Terminal users need fast answers about equity distribution without leaving their command line environment. You pass your valuation parameters to the CLI, and it triggers `compute_pre_money_scenario` to output the baseline ownership percentages as raw text. The headless nature of this workflow makes it perfect for quick checks during board meetings. You connect via Vinkius and immediately have access to complex venture capital math right at your prompt.

Automate post-investment pool calculations

Build scripts that validate equity changes before finalizing legal documents. Your AI client can run `compute_post_money_scenario` to determine exactly how a post-money option pool dilutes existing shareholders. You can pipe these results directly into a text file or another command line utility. This MCP turns tedious spreadsheet work into a simple terminal execution.

Diff term sheets in your CI pipeline

Integrate venture capital analysis into your automated reporting workflows. The agent executes `compare_shuffle_impact` to calculate the exact financial penalty of the proposed option pool timing. DevOps engineers and technical founders can schedule these comparisons as cron jobs. The output provides a clear mathematical difference between the two negotiation strategies.
