How does this MCP calculate my real wage?

It takes your gross pay and subtracts the cost of taxes and the value of time lost to unpaid breaks and commuting.

Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?

Yes, you can use this with any MCP-compatible client including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Does it handle tax calculations?

Yes, it includes capabilities to evaluate annual net earnings and factor tax drag into your effective hourly wage.

What is the difference between gross and net earnings?

Gross earnings is the total amount you earn before taxes, while net earnings is what you actually keep after taxes are deducted.

Is this just a simple salary converter?

No, while it can convert pay frequencies, its main purpose is calculating the effective wage after accounting for time and tax burdens.

What is a 'real' hourly wage?

A real hourly wage accounts for the time you spend on work-related tasks that aren't directly paid, such as commuting and unpaid lunch breaks, as well as the reduction in income due to taxes.

How does the capability handle tax calculations?

You provide an estimated tax percentage (e.g., 0.25 for 25%), and the calculate_effective_wage capability uses this to determine your net income after 'tax drag'.

Can I convert an annual salary to an hourly rate?

Yes, the convert_salary_period capability allows you to transform amounts between various frequencies including hourly, weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, monthly, and annual.

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.

Curated set · 3 capabilities
