From the project READMECashew MCP
Give your agent Singapore's mortgage brain.
The Cashew MCP exposes our live rate engine as callable tools, the same engine behind cashew.sg. Rank real bank packages, run stamp-duty and affordability maths, and model restructuring plays, all from inside your own agent.
Every figure is computed against bank rates synced daily, the same numbers Cashew shows its own customers. All major Singapore banks. HDB, private and commercial. Fixed and floating (SORA).
What it does
- Find the best loan packages. Rank live packages from all major Singapore banks for any borrower profile, sorted by the real first-year rate.
- Calculate the mortgage maths. Monthly repayment, total interest, affordability and the income a target loan needs, returned in a single call.
- Run any scenario. From refinancing savings to every IRAS stamp duty, the maths is built in.
- Plan the bigger moves. Decoupling and sell-one-buy-two, costed end to end with valuations on tap.

Using Claude Code? Install it as a plugin instead:
claude plugin marketplace add cashew-sg/cashew-mcp
claude plugin install cashew-mcp@cashew
Then ask your agent something like: "Should I refinance my $640k OCBC loan at 3.1%? I have 22 years left."
Two tools, recommend_packages and get_property_valuation, ask you to sign in with your Cashew account the first time you use them. Everything else works straight away.

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.
