Standardize pricing tools for teams

Commit your pricing configuration to your repository using .vscode/mcp.json. This ensures every developer on your team has access to `calculate_cost_plus_price` and other financial tools. It brings consistency to your engineering workflow. Everyone works with the same pricing logic and financial data, eliminating discrepancies across your development environment.

Execute financial models in Agent mode

Switch Copilot Chat to Agent mode to allow the AI to perform complex pricing analysis. Using `calculate_value_based_price`, the agent can suggest price points based on the features you are currently implementing. It turns your editor into a financial planning workspace. You get data-driven answers without leaving your IDE.

Monitor pricing impact on revenue

Run `predict_mrr_impact` to see how your architecture changes influence your bottom line. VS Code executes these models to provide immediate insight into your potential monthly recurring revenue. It keeps your team focused on the financial viability of your code. You can iterate on your pricing strategy with the same speed as your feature development.
