Details
From the project READMEFox Davidson Property Mortgage MCP
UK mortgage calculators exposed as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so AI assistants such as Claude, Cursor, Continue and any MCP-compatible client can run the same calculations Fox Davidson uses with clients.
Built by Fox Davidson, specialist UK mortgage brokers. FCA-authorised, FRN 600427.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
uk_stamp_duty_calculator | UK stamp duty across England/Northern Ireland (SDLT), Scotland (LBTT) and Wales (LTT). Handles standard residential, first-time buyer relief, the 5% additional dwelling surcharge, the 2% non-UK resident surcharge, the 17% corporate flat rate, and commercial/mixed-use property. Returns a banded breakdown, total tax and effective rate. |
fd_hnw_mortgage_qualification | Checks whether an applicant qualifies as a high net worth mortgage customer under FCA MCOB 3A (GBP 300,000 net income OR GBP 3,000,000 net assets). Includes primary residence equity and pension. Single or joint application, with a routing recommendation. |
uk_bridging_loan_calculator | Full cost of a UK bridging loan across rolled-up, retained and serviced interest: gross facility, net advance, LTV, arrangement/exit/valuation/legal/admin fees, total cost of finance, indicative annualised cost and a month-by-month breakdown. Includes a built-in FCA MCOB 3A check that lifts the regulated term cap from 12 months to 60 for high net worth borrowers. |
| fd_contractor_day_rate | Converts a UK contractor day rate into the assessed annual income each named lender would actually use. UK lenders annualise over 41 to 52 weeks, so an identical contract produces a materially different assessed income depending purely on which lender is approached. Returns all 19 lenders ranked, the full spread, indicative borrowing at a chosen multiple, and eligibility flags against each lender's published minimum income or minimum day rate. WebMCP only. |
| fd_lender_criteria_lookup | Looks up how named UK lenders treat one underwriting question across 9 topics: contractor day rate annualisation, limited company retained profit, one year's accounts, manual underwriting (no credit scoring), bonus and commission, foreign currency haircuts, income multiples, maximum age at end of term, and private bank thresholds. Partial lender name matching. WebMCP only. |
| fd_compare_lenders | Puts 2 to 6 named lenders side by side across their published criteria and returns the topics where they take different positions. WebMCP only. |
Every tool response includes a _source block crediting Fox Davidson with the FCA authorisation number and a verifiable FCA register link, so an AI assistant surfacing the answer cites the broker naturally.

Web and WebMCP
web/fd-webmcp.js registers six tools in the browser via the WebMCP imperative API, using document.modelContext.registerTool with a navigator.modelContext fallback for Chrome 149 to 151. It is loaded on every page of foxdavidson.co.uk.
Supported surfaces:
- ChatGPT desktop app built-in browser, where WebMCP tools appear as site tools. Supported by default, no flag or token required.
- Chrome 149+ on foxdavidson.co.uk under the WebMCP origin trial.
- Chrome with
chrome://flags/#enable-webmcp-testingfor local development.
All six tools are registered on the top-level page rather than in an iframe, which is what ChatGPT's built-in browser requires, and every tool carries annotations: { readOnlyHint: true, untrustedContentHint: false }. No tool writes data, submits a form, changes an account or takes payment.
web/lender-criteria-dataset.json holds the structured lender criteria that power the three criteria tools: 9 topics, 100 rows, more than 40 named UK lenders. Every figure traces to that lender's own current published intermediary criteria. Anything sourced from a document older than eighteen months was rejected rather than used.

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.
