Details
From the project READMECost Seg Smart — MCP Server
Hosted Model Context Protocol server for Cost Seg Smart. Lets Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible AI agent get cost segregation study pricing and generate Stripe checkout URLs without scraping HTML.
Endpoint: https://costsegsmart.com/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0)
Auth: None — open commercial endpoint
This repo contains only the manifest. The server itself lives in a private repository and is hosted on Railway behind a Cloudflare Worker proxy.
What it does
Two tools:
get_cost_seg_quote
Returns the price of a cost segregation study for a specific property, plus Year-1 deduction and (if a tax bracket is provided) tax savings and ROI on the study fee. No engine run — pure tier lookup and arithmetic. Safe to call cheaply and repeatedly.
Example call:
{
"property_type": "str",
"purchase_price": 750000,
"tax_bracket": 0.32
}
Returns:
{
"property_type": "str",
"property_type_label": "Short-Term Rental",
"purchase_price": 750000,
"study_cost": 995,
"deduction_estimate_year_one": 184500,
"tax_savings_year_one": 59040,
"roi_multiple": 59,
"currency": "USD"
}
get_cost_seg_payment_link
Generates a Stripe Checkout URL the buyer can click to purchase the study. Carries full property metadata + an explicit liability disclaimer naming the agent ("Order prepared by [agent] on behalf of the cardholder..."). Buyer completes payment in their browser; the report is generated automatically and emailed within 1 hour.
Always confirm the study_cost with the human buyer before generating a
payment link.

Identifying your agent
When calling the endpoint, set the X-Agent-Name header so it appears in the
buyer's Stripe Checkout disclaimer:
X-Agent-Name: Claude
If unset, the disclaimer reads "Order prepared by an AI agent on behalf of the cardholder...". This is a legal/chargeback paper trail, not a marketing field — please use accurate values.
Property types supported
sfr, str, condo, condo_str, adu, duplex, triplex, fourplex,
multifamily_small, multifamily, multifamily5, office, retail,
industrial, mixed_use, medical_office, restaurant
Price range: $495 to $13,995 depending on type and purchase price. $25M+ properties route to a custom-quote email path.

Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
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.
