Run multi-model financial strategies in Windsurf

This MCP connects Cascade to your core financial logic to run fast, multi-step pricing exercises. It kicks off by calling `calculate_cost_plus_price` to establish your absolute floor based on baseline operating costs and target margins. Instead of jumping between spreadsheets, you get a hard baseline printed right in your IDE. Cascade handles the math so you focus on strategy.

Align your rates with market reality

Finding the sweet spot between competitor rates and customer value requires real data. This MCP uses `calculate_competitive_price` to evaluate where your product sits against current market alternatives. It simultaneously pulls in segment metrics to run `calculate_value_based_price` so you do not underprice your premium features. Cascade chains these steps together to show you the delta instantly.

Forecast subscription revenue shifts

Making pricing decisions without forecasting is a quick way to kill your margins. The MCP uses `predict_mrr_impact` to run immediate projections on how changes will affect your recurring revenue and customer retention. You see the exact financial tradeoffs before committing any code changes. It keeps your growth targets on track without the manual modeling overhead.
