Calculate Cash Conversion Cycle with Copilot

Your team needs consistent cash flow metrics across all financial modules. Use `calculate_cash_conversion_cycle` to determine the exact days capital is tied up in operations. You pass in the inventory, receivables, and payables periods. Copilot injects this calculation into your active file. Every developer on the team gets the exact same cycle length. You eliminate discrepancies in how different modules calculate operational cash tie-up.

Compute Monetary Needs via this MCP

Days are useless for financial reporting. Call `calculate_monetary_working_capital` to convert the cycle timeframe into a specific monetary value based on company turnover. This gives your team the actual working capital need in dollars. Copilot uses this response to populate your reporting variables. Your entire codebase now references a single, accurate cash figure.

Retrieve Complete Financial Profiles

When building full financial dashboards, you need all the numbers at once. Run `get_financial_cycle_summary` to get a complete financial profile with all constituent periods and final values. Copilot parses this payload and generates the matching data structures for your project. Your team commits the configuration file to Git. Everyone gets the exact same MCP tools automatically.
