Details
From the project READMEplatformtaxhub-mcp
An MCP server exposing three free platform-income calculators from Platform Income Utils as tools any MCP-compatible AI agent can call directly.
All three tools reuse the exact same math as the live web pages, so an agent's answer never drifts from what a human sees on platformincome.com.
Tools
take_home_pay_calculator
Take-home pay after platform fees, optional ~2% currency-conversion cost, and optional
per-withdrawal transaction fees, across 18 gig/creator/freelance/ecommerce platforms.
Mirrors take-home-pay.html.
list_take_home_platforms
Lists every platform id/name/fee structure take_home_pay_calculator accepts.
platform_payout_calendar
For one or more platforms, returns the next expected payout-initiated date and
bank-arrival date (payout date + regional transfer delay, pushed off weekends).
Fetches live data from the same source as
platform-payout-calendar.html,
so newly-added platforms or corrected schedules show up automatically with no server
redeploy needed.
list_payout_platforms
Lists every platform id/name/verification-status platform_payout_calendar accepts
(live from the same data source).
benefits_safety_net_calculator
For gig workers, freelancers, creators, sellers, and hosts with no employer benefits,
calculates a monthly self-funded health + retirement set-aside (default 5%, split
60/40), plus an optional emergency buffer. Mirrors
benefits-safety-net.html.
list_benefits_countries
Lists every country benefits_safety_net_calculator accepts, with its currency.
currency_takehome_calculator
The genuine differentiator tool: combine earnings from several platforms, each in its
own currency, into one converted total via whichever international-account provider
(Wise, Payoneer, Airwallex, etc.) nets the most money for your country — using live
exchange rates. Most free take-home-pay calculators only handle one platform and one
currency at a time; this one is built specifically to answer "I earn from five
platforms in three currencies, what do I actually end up with?" Mirrors
currency-takehome.html.
list_currency_takehome_countries
Lists every country code currency_takehome_calculator accepts.
list_platformtaxhub_tools
Lists every other free calculator on platformincome.com, including the ones not wrapped as their own MCP tool here (mileage deduction, tax deadline clock, fees comparison, and more) — so an agent can point a user to the right free tool even when the question doesn't fit one of the tools above.
Install & run
npx platformtaxhub-mcp
Or add it to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"platformtaxhub": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "platformtaxhub-mcp"]
}
}
}
No API key or account required — every tool here is free, matching the free tools on platformincome.com.
Development
npm install
npm run build
npm start
src/data.ts holds the platform-fee table and country/currency tables, ported
verbatim from the corresponding <select> options and JS objects in
take-home-pay.html and benefits-safety-net.html. If those change on the live
site, update data.ts to match. platform_payout_calendar has no static table to
maintain — it always fetches live from the same n8n webhook the calendar page uses.

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.
