Model cap tables directly inside Windsurf

Cascade reads your term sheet parameters and maps out the founder equity impact. You ask for a breakdown of the initial valuation, and your agent calls `compute_pre_money_scenario` to determine exact ownership percentages before new shares hit the ledger. Connecting through Vinkius gives your IDE immediate access to this financial logic. You skip the manual spreadsheet updates because the agent chains the required calculations in the background.

Calculate post-investment dilution

Investors often demand the option pool comes out of the company valuation after their cash is injected. Your AI client evaluates this exact structure by running `compute_post_money_scenario` to show you the revised capitalization table. The math gets handled entirely within your editor window. You get clear numbers on how much equity the founders retain after the new option pool is established.

Quantify the real cost of VC terms

Term sheets use complex language to obscure the true cost of equity creation. You can expose this hidden math when your agent triggers `compare_shuffle_impact` to contrast the two timing structures side by side. Seeing the exact difference in founder shares prevents expensive negotiation mistakes. This MCP turns opaque financial jargon into plain text reports you can review before signing anything.

Common questions about Option Pool Shuffle Simulator MCP in Windsurf

Edit your configuration file located at ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json. You can also use the Settings menu to access the Cascade MCP UI and add the Vinkius connection details.

Cascade handles multi-step reasoning natively. You define three different valuation targets, and the agent processes them sequentially to output a combined comparison table.

The integration works perfectly with Cascade. Your IDE discovers the available financial tools on startup and determines when to trigger them based on your prompts.

Vinkius hosts over 4,000 managed tools that your editor can access through a single integration. You authenticate once and immediately gain the ability to query financial models alongside your regular coding tasks.

Your equity distribution numbers remain completely private during these calculations. The MCP only processes the raw valuation integers and percentages you provide in the prompt, storing zero persistent records of your company structure.
