Intangible Asset Valuation MCP Server

Intangible Asset Valuation Engine

A complete intangible asset valuation library implementing 124+ functions from the *Intangible Asset Valuation* textbook — Python library, MCP server, and AI-agent skills.

Overview

A production-grade Python library for intangible asset valuation, implementing every formula from the [Intangible Asset Valuation](https://www.amazon.com/Intangible-Asset-Valuation-Comprehensive-Technology/dp/B0FZ8742R1) textbook by Simon Mak, William Yuen, Paul Wu, and Wayne Hu (Valuation in Practice Series, Ascent Partners). Designed for developers, financial analysts, accountants, and AI agents who need auditable, structured valuation computations for ASC 805 / IFRS 3 compliant workflows.

Three-layer architecture:

1. Python Library — 22 modules, 124+ typed functions, all returning ValuationResult (value + assumptions + steps + formula reference)
2. MCP Server — 14 folded tools (124+ formulas) for AI agents via stdio and hosted Streamable HTTP
3. AI-agent skills — 4 skill definitions with workflow guidance for valuation domains

Installation

pip install intangible-valuation          # library only

pip install intangible-valuation[mcp] # + MCP server pip install intangible-valuation[dev] # + pytest, ruff, mypy

Quick Start (≤ 5 minutes)

Fastest path: no install — point an MCP client at the hosted endpoint https://intangible-valuation.ascent-partners.com/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP); or one line locally: pip install "intangible-valuation[mcp]".

Python Library

from intangible_valuation.core.time_value import present_value

from intangible_valuation.core.discount_rates import build_up_discount_rate from intangible_valuation.income_methods.relief_from_royalty import relief_from_royalty

Present Value

result = present_value(future_value=500_000, discount_rate=0.10, periods=8) print(f"PV: ${result.value:,.2f}") # $233,253.69

Build-Up Discount Rate

rate = build_up_discount_rate( risk_free_rate=0.04, equity_risk_premium=0.06, size_premium=0.02, industry_risk_premium=0.01, specific_risk_premium=0.03, ) print(f"Discount rate: {rate.value:.2%}") # 16.00%

Relief from Royalty — Patent Valuation

value = relief_from_royalty( revenue_projections=[1_000_000, 1_100_000, 1_200_000, 1_300_000, 1_400_000], royalty_rate=0.05, discount_rate=0.12, tax_rate=0.25, useful_life=5, ) print(f"Patent value: ${value.value:,.2f}")

MCP Server (for AI Agents)

The server exposes 14 tools, each folding a family of formulas behind a method argument — time value, discount rates, cost/market/income approaches, IP, technology, customer and human-capital assets, goodwill and purchase price allocation, impairment, royalty analysis, uncertainty (Monte Carlo / decision trees), and transfer-pricing / litigation.

Local (stdio):

pip install "intangible-valuation[mcp]"

python mcp_server/server.py

Hosted (Streamable HTTP) — no install, no API key:

https://intangible-valuation.ascent-partners.com/api/mcp

OpenCode — add to opencode.json:

"intangible-valuation": {

"type": "remote", "url": "https://intangible-valuation.ascent-partners.com/api/mcp", "timeout": 60000 }

Claude Desktop / Cursor — add the HTTP URL https://intangible-valuation.ascent-partners.com/api/mcp as an MCP server, or run the stdio entrypoint above.

MCP Registry & Glama — published as com.ascent-partners/intangible-valuation. The server.json manifest declares both the hosted streamable-http remote and a PyPI stdio package, and glama.json carries the Glama listing. Install and run the stdio server from either registry:

pip install "intangible-valuation[mcp]" && intangible-valuation-mcp   # pip

uvx --from intangible-valuation intangible-valuation-mcp # uvx (no install)

Listed on Glama and the Official MCP Registry.

Prompts and resources. Besides the 14 tools, the server offers three guided prompts (purchase_price_allocation, value_ip_asset, impairment_test) and a machine-readable method catalog at intangible-valuation://methods, so agents can see every method's required parameters before calling a tool.

AI-agent skills

Copy the skills/ directory to your agent's skills folder:

• `asset-valuation` — Patents, trademarks, technology, customer relationships, human capital
• `discount-rate-construction` — Build-up, CAPM, WACC, risk premiums, adjustments
• `purchase-price-allocation` — ASC 805 / IFRS 3 PPA workflow, goodwill calculation
• `impairment-testing` — ASC 350, IAS 36 goodwill and intangible impairment
