Native pension analysis in Claude Desktop

Stop guessing your future state benefits. This MCP pulls current national formulas into your chat using `get_scheme_details` so you see exactly how your residency history impacts your payout. You avoid the headache of digging through government sites. It puts the math right where you are already planning your finances.

Calculate your monthly retirement income

Run `calculate_monthly_benefit` to see what you will actually get. It breaks down the numbers for the UK, Germany, France, and Spain based on your specific contribution record. This gives you a real-world figure to build your budget around. No more vague estimates based on outdated national averages.

Identify your missing contribution years

Use `assess_contribution_gap` to see how much your monthly benefit jumps if you work a few more years in a specific country. It highlights the direct financial impact of your career choices. You get a clear view of whether staying in the workforce is worth the added retirement boost. It turns complex social security data into an actionable decision.
