Claude Code handles terminal tax math

Nobody wants to dig through IRS Publication 946. You fire up your AI client in the terminal and trigger `get_asset_class_info` to find the exact recovery period. The MCP outputs the MACRS class life instantly. You pass that data right into your next shell script or backend service.

Test your deduction strategies

Let us be clear about upfront write-offs. You need hard numbers to decide between Section 179 and bonus depreciation. Your agent runs `calculate_expensing_impact` via headless execution. This MCP spits out the comparison so your CI/CD pipeline can validate the financial model.

Generate schedules via CLI

Building a full recovery table usually takes a spreadsheet. Claude Code uses `calculate_depreciation_schedule` to do it in one terminal command. You get a clean JSON array representing the entire asset lifespan. SREs and backend devs can pipe this output directly into a database seeder.
