This MCP server provides specialized tools to calculate asset depreciation. Use get_asset_metadata to retrieve the standard useful life and annual depreciation rates for various asset categories like Machinery, Vehicles, or IT Hardware. You can then generate detailed yearly schedules using calculate_straight_line_schedule, calculate_sum_of_digits_schedule, or calculate_declining_balance_schedule. These tools help quantify how an asset's book value decreases over time based on its initial cost, residual value, and useful life.
