What it does

Epoch is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that brings professional software estimation capabilities to AI agents. It implements multiple estimation methodologies including PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique), COCOMO II (Constructive Cost Model), and Monte Carlo simulations. The tool enables AI agents to generate accurate project forecasts, estimate task duration and costs, and identify schedule risks.

Key Features

• PERT analysis for probabilistic task estimation
• COCOMO II cost modeling for software projects
• Monte Carlo simulation for risk assessment
• Sprint forecasting and capacity planning
• Token-to-time conversion mapping
• Cost estimation and mapping
• Schedule risk analysis and identification

How to set up

Epoch is deployed as an MCP server compatible with Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI Studio tools. Installation involves configuring the MCP server endpoint in your AI platform's settings. Detailed setup instructions are available in the GitHub repository at KyaniteLabs/Epoch. Once configured, the estimation tools become available as functions callable by your AI agents.
