Windsurf automates your asset math

Look, figuring out asset recovery periods wastes time. This MCP does the math by pulling exact recovery rules using `get_asset_class_info`. You just tell your agent what property you bought. It finds the correct MACRS class life and sets up the baseline variables for your financial model.

Compare tax deductions instantly

The math is simple when you see the options side by side. Your AI client runs `calculate_expensing_impact` to show the exact dollar difference between Section 179, bonus depreciation, and standard MACRS. You get a clear breakdown of year-one tax savings. The MCP chains this comparison directly into your project files without asking for permission.

Generate full recovery tables

Here is how it plays out for long-term planning. You trigger `calculate_depreciation_schedule` to build out the complete year-by-year write-off plan. The agent formats the output into a clean table or JSON array. You drop the finished schedule straight into your accounting software.
