Does this MCP account for the rates changing after the promo period?

Yes. The simulator accounts for the promotional APR period and then calculates the transition to standard, post-promotional rates, which is critical for accurate planning.

What kind of debt can I use this for?

This capability is designed for credit card debt transfers. It compares the costs of moving that specific type of debt to a new promotional offer versus keeping it where it is.

Is the calculation based on my current budget?

You can adjust the simulation by providing different monthly payment amounts. The MCP will then evaluate how those changes affect your total cost and payoff timeline.

Do I need to provide my actual account numbers?

No. You only need to provide the key financial metrics, like the total balance, the APRs, and the fees. The MCP handles the simulation using those numbers.

What is the difference between the 'Baseline' and 'Transfer' paths?

The Baseline Path is what happens if you stay on your current card. The Transfer Path is the scenario where you move the debt to a new card with a promotional offer.

How does the capability calculate the transfer cost?

The capability calculates the upfront transfer fee as a percentage of your initial balance and adds it to the new principal. It then simulates monthly interest accrual during both the promotional APR phase and the post-promotional standard APR phase until the balance reaches zero.

Can I see how much faster I will pay off my debt?

The capability provides a specific timeline using estimate_payoff_timeline, which returns the total number of months until your balance is zero and the amount of your final payment.

What happens if my monthly payment doesn't cover the interest?

The simulation will return an error. For a successful payoff, your monthly payment must be greater than the interest generated in the first month to prevent the debt from growing infinitely.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Evaluating a new credit card offer

You receive a card with a 0% intro APR. Use this MCP to calculate if the upfront transfer fee is worth the interest savings.

Adjusting a payment plan

You want to pay more than the minimum payment. Use the MCP to see how that extra money shortens your payoff timeline and reduces interest.

Comparing debt options

You have two options: stay put or transfer. The MCP calculates the total interest and fees for both scenarios side-by-side.

Modeling budget changes

Your income changes, and you need to know if a smaller monthly payment will extend your debt payoff period significantly.

One connector, every AI

Balance Transfer Evaluator works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Balance Transfer Evaluator to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.
