Calculate household per capita income in VS Code Copilot

The `calculate_per_capita_income` tool runs standardized financial math inside your shared workspace. It takes raw household revenue inputs and returns the precise per capita income required for government aid programs. By using this tool, your entire engineering team calculates household income the exact same way. This eliminates discrepancies between different developer environments.

Check ProUni criteria with this MCP Server

The `check_prouni_eligibility` tool evaluates household income against the official thresholds for full and partial scholarships. It returns clear, structured data that your team can use to build compliant student dashboards. Your agent uses these real-world rules to generate accurate UI components. You avoid the risk of hardcoding outdated regulatory parameters.

Assess FIES financing parameters

The `check_fies_eligibility` tool analyzes a family's financial profile to determine FIES loan suitability. It processes complex ratios to verify if the applicant meets the strict federal guidelines. This tool provides your development team with a single source of truth for financial aid logic. You can write integration tests that validate your application against actual government rules.
