Calculate the cash conversion cycle in Windsurf

The `calculate_cash_conversion_cycle` tool takes your days inventory outstanding, days sales outstanding, and days payable outstanding to find the exact number of days your cash is sitting on the factory floor. No manual spreadsheet math. You just tell the agent you need the cycle duration, and it pulls the numbers. It stops you from guessing how long it takes to turn inventory into actual bank deposits. You do not have to prompt it step-by-step. Just give it the raw metrics and let it do the math. It keeps you from guessing when your cash will actually hit the bank.

Translate cycle days into hard cash numbers

The `calculate_monetary_working_capital` tool converts your turnover and cycle timeframe into the exact dollar amount you need to fund operations. Days mean nothing if you do not know the dollar impact. This tells you your actual funding gap. You will know exactly how much cash to keep in the bank to keep the lights on without paying for idle inventory. Now you know your actual funding requirement. You can adjust your credit line based on hard numbers instead of gut feelings about inventory buffers.

Get the full financial cycle breakdown

The `get_financial_cycle_summary` tool pulls a full profile of all constituent periods and final values when you need to show the board where cash is leaking. Sometimes you need the full picture. It gives you the raw breakdown of inventory, receivables, and payables. Hand that directly to your CFO so they can see the exact bottlenecks without asking you to rebuild the model.

Common questions about Working Capital Calculator MCP in Windsurf

Open Settings and go to Cascade, then MCP. Add the connection details under mcpServers and click Refresh. Windsurf auto-discovers the tools once connected.

Yes. Cascade chains multi-step actions autonomously. Tell it to run three different inventory turnover scenarios, and it will execute the sequence and return all the results without you prompting each step.

No. It relies on the exact financial metrics you or your agent pass into the tools. You just provide the DIO, DSO, and DPO inputs directly during the chat.

Your cash conversion cycle drops. That means your suppliers are funding your operations longer than your inventory sits on the shelf. It is a good thing for your bank balance.

It only processes the raw metrics you feed it. That includes days inventory outstanding, days sales outstanding, days payable outstanding, and annual turnover figures. It does not store or transmit your broader ledger data.
