This MCP server provides decision-support tools for agricultural economic analysis. It calculates the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by evaluating fixed costs like depreciation and insurance against variable costs like fuel and labor. Users can determine the exact break-even point where owning equipment becomes more cost-effective than hiring a custom operator. The server uses get_ownership_cost_analysis to build a complete cost profile, calculate_break_even_point to find utilization thresholds, and compare_ownership_vs_hire to provide direct recommendations for specific workloads.

See how to talk to your AI agent using Machinery Ownership vs Custom Hire.

Calculate the total annual cost for a tractor that costs $50,000, is used 200 hours a year, uses 5 liters of fuel per hour at $1.50 per liter, has a repair factor of 0.1, $1,000 insurance, $500 housing, $25 labor per hour, and a 5% capital rate using straight-line depreciation.

The total annual cost for the tractor is $12,500.

If my annual ownership cost is $10,000 and the custom hire rate is $50 per hour, how many hours do I need to use the machine to break even?

You need to use the machine for 200 hours per year to break even.

Compare owning a machine with an annual cost of $8,000 against a custom hire rate of $60 per hour for a planned usage of 150 hours.

OWN. Owning is cheaper by $1,000.

The `get_ownership_cost_analysis` tool calculates the total cost by summing fixed costs (depreciation, capital opportunity cost, insurance, and housing) and variable costs (fuel, repairs, and labor).
