This MCP server provides a specialized financial comparison engine designed to reveal the 'true cost' of various payment methods. While Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services often advertise 0% interest, this tool uses calculate_bnpl_financials to factor in late fees and calculate the effective APR that occurs when payments are missed. It also utilizes calculate_credit_card_impact to determine how much interest will accrue if you carry a balance on your credit card, and evaluate_cash_benefit to identify potential savings from immediate cash discounts. Finally, use generate_comparison_report to aggregate all data into a single view that flags high-interest traps and identifies the most cost-effective payment strategy for any purchase.

I'm buying a $500 jacket. I can use Klarna (4 payments of $125, but there is a $15 late fee if I miss one), or my credit card with 24% APR if I carry the balance for 30 days, or pay cash with a 5% discount. Which is best?

The best option is paying with Cash, which results in a final price of $475.00. The BNPL plan would cost $515.00 if a late fee is incurred (effective APR increases significantly), and the credit card method would cost approximately $510.00 due to interest accrual.

Calculate the impact of a $1,200 purchase on my 19% APR credit card if I don't pay it off for 60 days.

Carrying a $1,200 balance at 19% APR for 60 days will result in approximately $38.63 in interest, bringing your total repayment amount to $1,238.63.

Compare a $1,000 item using a 'Pay in 30 days' BNPL plan with a $1,000 cash payment that offers a $50 rebate.

The Cash option is the winner with a total cost of $950.00. The BNPL plan has a base cost of $1,000.00, but any missed deadline or late fee would increase this cost and trigger risk flags in your comparison report.

The `calculate_bnpl_financials` tool incorporates any provided late fees into the total cost of the installments, then annualizes that extra cost to show you the real interest rate you are paying.
