Calculate the cash conversion cycle via Claude Code

The `calculate_cash_conversion_cycle` tool takes your inventory, receivables, and payable days to return the exact duration your capital is stuck in the operational loop. Bottom line, you need to know how long cash is tied up. You can pipe this directly into your shell scripts. Run it on a cron job every Monday morning to check if your operations team is letting cash sit on the floor. You can pipe this directly into your shell scripts.

Compute monetary working capital headlessly

The `calculate_monetary_working_capital` tool returns the exact dollar amount required to fund your operational gap based on your turnover and cycle timeframe. Days are useless for treasury management. This is perfect for automated alerts. If the required working capital crosses your threshold, your script can automatically flag the treasury team before you miss payroll. This is perfect for automated alerts.

Pull the financial cycle summary in the terminal

The `get_financial_cycle_summary` tool dumps the full financial profile, including all constituent periods and final values, straight to your stdout when you need to audit the entire cash flow loop. Parse that JSON output in your pipeline to trigger downstream actions. It gives you the raw data you need to adjust credit lines without opening a browser.

Common questions about Working Capital Calculator MCP in Claude Code

Run the command to add the MCP with the HTTP transport flag. Make sure all flags come before the name. Verify the connection by listing your active MCPs.

Yes. That is exactly what it is built for. You can pipe the financial metrics into the CLI during a GitHub Action and fail the build if the cash conversion cycle exceeds your target threshold.

No. It runs entirely headless in the terminal. You interact with it through standard input and output, making it ideal for SSH sessions and Docker containers.

A negative cycle means your suppliers are funding your operations. Your script should treat this as a positive liquidity event, but still monitor it to ensure you are not losing early payment discounts.

It only processes the exact metrics passed via standard input. This includes days inventory outstanding, days sales outstanding, days payable outstanding, and annual turnover. It does not store or access your broader accounting databases.
