# What you can do with the Cake MCP

Ask your AI assistant about shareholders, option pool headroom, vesting, share classes, SAFEs and notes - answered from your live Cap Table in Cake. All read-only.

Connect your AI assistant to Cake and ask about your Cap Table in plain English. No export, no filter, no second tab. The answer comes back in seconds, from the same Cap Table your board pack does.

## Try asking

* Who are our top ten shareholders, fully diluted?
* How much of the option pool is left?
* Which grants vest in the next quarter?
* Summarize our SAFEs by cap and discount.

## What it reads

**Shareholders and holdings.** Names, share counts, undiluted and as-converted ownership.

**Share classes.** Authorized, issued and conversion ratios.

**Plans and grants.** Options, RSUs and RSAs, with vesting and pool headroom.

**Convertibles.** SAFEs and notes, with caps, discounts and principal.

## When it helps

The pool check before an offer goes out. The number for the board pack. A founder asking what they own on a Sunday night. Any question you would otherwise answer with an export.

## It reads, it never writes

Every tool is read-only. Your assistant answers questions about the Cap Table. It cannot add, edit or delete anything - those actions stay in the app behind the usual approvals.
