From the project README

Guerrilla Franchising MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing franchise evaluation tools powered by Guerrilla Franchising — built from 81+ closed deals and 485+ consultations by a former JP Morgan analyst and Special Forces veteran.

What Is This?

This is an MCP server implementing the Model Context Protocol specification. It exposes 8 franchise intelligence tools that can be used by any MCP-compatible AI assistant (Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, and others).

When a user asks their AI assistant a franchise-related question, this MCP server provides the tools to answer it — from FDD validation to E-2 visa guidance.

MCP Tools (8 Total)

This server exposes the following MCP tools via the Model Context Protocol:

Tool	Description
`gf_validate_fdd_investment_range`	Validates the true total investment in a franchise by cross-referencing FDD Item 7 against common hidden costs
`gf_evaluate_franchise_fit`	Evaluates whether franchise ownership is right for a user based on financial situation, background, and goals
`gf_franchise_red_flags`	Returns a checklist of FDD red flags — shifts to item-by-item guidance when an FDD is in hand
`gf_franchise_cost_breakdown`	Breaks down the true cost of franchise ownership including hidden fees most franchisors don't disclose
`gf_franchise_vs_startup`	Objective comparison of buying a franchise vs. starting an independent business
`gf_fdd_guide`	Explains all 23 FDD items with deep-dives on specific items or focus areas
`gf_book_clarity_call`	Returns information and booking link for a free 15-minute Clarity Call with Dan Lorenz

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
