MCP Server (Mortgage Comparison Platform)

MCP Mortgage Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for parsing and analyzing mortgage documents (Loan Estimates & Closing Disclosures) using MISMO standards.

---

🎯 What is This?

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI assistants (like Claude Desktop, OpenAI Agents, etc.) to parse and analyze mortgage documents. It converts Loan Estimates (LE) and Closing Disclosures (CD) into structured MISMO-compliant JSON, and checks for TRID compliance violations.

Key Features

✅ MCP-Compliant - Works natively with Claude Desktop, OpenAI Agents SDK, and other MCP clients ✅ Secure - URL validation, SSRF prevention, file size limits, timeout protection ✅ Type-Safe - Pydantic models ensure data validation ✅ TRID Compliance - Automated tolerance checking (zero-tolerance, 10% tolerance) ✅ Resources - Access to MISMO schemas and mortgage glossary ✅ Prompts - Pre-built workflows for loan analysis

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher
• Claude Desktop (recommended) or another MCP-compatible client

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/confersolutions/mcp-mortgage-server.git
   cd mcp-mortgage-server
   

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Test the server:

   python test_server.py
   

   You should see:

   ✓ All tests passed!
   Server is ready for MCP client connections!
   

Usage with Claude Desktop

1. Locate your Claude Desktop config file:

   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
   • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this server:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "mortgage": {
         "command": "python",
         "args": ["/full/path/to/mcp-mortgage-server/server.py"]
       }
     }
   }
   

3. Restart Claude Desktop

4. Use it in Claude:

   Can you parse this loan estimate and summarize the key terms?
   URL: https://storage.googleapis.com/mortgage-docs/sample-le.pdf
   

   Claude will automatically call the appropriate MCP tool and parse the document.

🛠️ Available Tools

1. hello

Simple connectivity test.

Input: { "name": "World" }
Output: "Hello, World! MCP server is working correctly."

2. parse_loan_estimate

Parse a Loan Estimate PDF into MISMO-compliant JSON.

Input:

{
  "pdf_url": "https://storage.googleapis.com/mortgage-docs/le-12345.pdf"
}

Output:

{
  "loan_amount": 300000.0,
  "interest_rate": 6.5,
  "apr": 6.73,
  "monthly_payment": 1896.20,
  "total_closing_costs": 12000.00,
  "origination_charges": 1500.00,
  ...
}

Security: Only HTTPS URLs from whitelisted domains. 10MB size limit, 30s timeout.

3. parse_closing_disclosure

Parse a Closing Disclosure PDF into MISMO-compliant JSON.

Similar to parse_loan_estimate but for final closing documents.

4. compare_le_cd

Compare Loan Estimate vs Closing Disclosure for TRID compliance.

Input:

{
  "loan_estimate_url": "https://storage.googleapis.com/docs/le.pdf",
  "closing_disclosure_url": "https://storage.googleapis.com/docs/cd.pdf"
}

Output:

{
  "is_compliant": false,
  "violations": [
    {
      "type": "zero_tolerance",
      "fee": "Origination Charges",
      "le_amount": 1500.00,
      "cd_amount": 1600.00,
      "amount_over": 100.00,
      "description": "Origination Charges increased by $100.00"
    }
  ],
  "summary": "✗ NOT COMPLIANT: 1 violation(s) found"
}

🔒 Security

Built-in Protections

• ✅ HTTPS only - HTTP URLs are rejected
• ✅ Domain whitelist - Only approved storage domains (prevents SSRF attacks)
• ✅ File size limits - 10MB maximum
• ✅ Timeout protection - 30-second download timeout
• ✅ PDF validation - Checks magic bytes
• ✅ Type safety - All inputs/outputs validated with Pydantic

Allowed Domains

By default:

• storage.googleapis.com
• s3.amazonaws.com
• mortgage-docs.confer.ai

To add more, set ALLOWED_DOMAINS environment variable.
