Step-by-Step Implementation

Step 1: Connect Data Sources

Step 2: Create Revenue Views

Revenue Forecast View:
CREATE VIEW revenue_forecast AS
SELECT 
  DATE_TRUNC('month', close_date) as forecast_month,
  SUM(amount * (probability / 100)) as weighted_revenue,
  SUM(amount) as best_case_revenue,
  COUNT(*) as deal_count,
  AVG(probability) as avg_probability
FROM crm.deals
WHERE close_date >= CURRENT_DATE
GROUP BY DATE_TRUNC('month', close_date);
Quota Tracking View:
CREATE VIEW quota_tracking AS
SELECT 
  rep_name,
  quota_amount,
  SUM(closed_won_amount) as attained_amount,
  (SUM(closed_won_amount) / quota_amount) * 100 as quota_attainment_percent,
  SUM(weighted_pipeline) as pipeline_value,
  (SUM(weighted_pipeline) / quota_amount) * 100 as pipeline_coverage_percent
FROM sales.rep_performance
GROUP BY rep_name, quota_amount;

Step 3: Create MCP Tools

Tool 1: Get Revenue Forecast
