Analyze whether to repair or replace appliances using lifecycle cost and break-even analysis.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides a decision-support framework for evaluating appliance maintenance. It allows AI agents to calculate the total cost of keeping an old unit versus purchasing a new one. By using calculate_repair_scenario and calculate_replacement_scenario, agents can determine the financial impact of energy efficiency and repair frequency. The compare_scenarios tool identifies the exact break-even month, while evaluate_warranty_and_risk assesses the reliability of the decision based on warranty coverage and expected life.

Should I repair my washing machine for $200 or buy a new one for $600?

Based on a $200 repair and a $600 replacement, the break-even point occurs in 14 months, making replacement the more cost-effective choice long-term.

Calculate the cost of my current refrigerator over the next 2 years.

The total projected cost for your refrigerator over the next 24 months is $450, including the immediate repair and estimated energy costs.

Is a new dishwasher with a 3-year warranty a good risk?

With a 36-month warranty and an expected life of 10 years, your coverage confidence is high, providing a reliable risk score for this replacement.

The `compare_scenarios` tool calculates the month where the cumulative cost of the replacement (including purchase and energy) becomes lower than the cumulative cost of continuing repairs.
