## Description

Handling wrongful termination claims means dealing with complex financial calculations and shifting legal guidelines. You need to know how much money is at stake while simultaneously making sure your assessment adheres to the law in that employee’s state. This MCP provides specialized tools to quantify potential losses, giving you a clear picture of gross liability based on salary history and years of service. Beyond just the numbers, it helps you evaluate the claim's overall legal exposure—the risk profile—and pinpoints specific punitive damage rules for any jurisdiction. Connecting this tool through Vinkius lets your AI client perform these three distinct calculations without leaving your workflow. You get a comprehensive, quantitative view of the case right where you need it.

## Tools

### calculate_damages_estimate
It calculates the potential financial losses for a wrongful termination claim using salary, tenure, and specific damage types.

### assess_claim_risk_profile
This tool evaluates and assigns a qualitative legal risk level to an employment claim based on its details.

### lookup_state_punitive_standard
It retrieves the current rules, amounts, and statutory caps for punitive damages in any specified U.S. state.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the potential damages for an employee with a $80,000 salary and 5 years of tenure in CA due to discrimination.
```

**Response:** 
```
The `calculate_damages_estimate` tool would return an estimate including back pay, front pay, and compensatory damages based on the provided salary and tenure in California.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the legal risk profile for a 2-year employee who was a whistleblower?
```

**Response:** 
```
The `assess_claim_risk_profile` tool would evaluate the risk category and identify the primary risk driver, such as the retaliation nature or tenure length.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if there is a statutory cap on punitive damages in New York.
```

**Response:** 
```
The `lookup_state_punitive_standard` tool would return the standard punitive amount and whether a statutory cap exists for NY.

## Capabilities

### Calculate estimated financial damages
The MCP computes gross liability for claims by factoring in back pay, front pay, and compensatory damages based on provided salary and tenure data.

### Determine overall claim risk level
It evaluates a claim to assign a qualitative legal risk profile, helping you prioritize the most complex cases.

### Verify state punitive damage rules
The system looks up specific punitive damage standards and statutory caps for any given U.S. state.

### Assess litigation exposure
You get a clear, data-backed understanding of the legal risks involved in an employment dispute.

## Use Cases

### A claims adjuster needs to file a payout estimate for out-of-state termination.
The adjuster inputs the claim details and runs `calculate_damages_estimate` first. Then, because the state is new, they run `lookup_state_punitive_standard` immediately after to make sure their initial damage calculation isn't missing a key punitive cap.

### An HR director needs to evaluate policy gaps across different states.
The director uses the MCP to run `assess_claim_risk_profile` on several historical cases. This helps them identify which state policies are creating an elevated risk category that requires immediate review.

### A lawyer is advising a client about a whistleblower case.
The lawyer runs all three tools in sequence: `calculate_damages_estimate` for the core loss, `assess_claim_risk_profile` to flag whistleblowing status as high risk, and `lookup_state_punitive_standard` to ensure maximum potential penalty is accounted for.

### A small business needs a baseline estimate of their current legal exposure.
They use the MCP's tools to test hypothetical scenarios. Running `calculate_damages_estimate` on a scenario with high tenure quickly shows them where their financial vulnerability lies.

## Benefits

- Stop guessing on liability. Use `calculate_damages_estimate` to get a clear, quantifiable look at gross damages, including back pay and front pay.
- Determine the overall legal danger level before committing resources. The `assess_claim_risk_profile` tool gives you an immediate risk score for any claim.
- Avoid state-specific penalties. Before filing, run `lookup_state_punitive_standard` to confirm the exact punitive damage rules and caps for that jurisdiction.
- Combine risk and finance into one view. You can use multiple tools together to build a holistic picture of the case's true financial exposure.
- Focus on the outcome, not the process. This MCP aggregates complex legal data so you spend time advising clients, not cross-referencing statutes.

## How It Works

The bottom line is that this MCP synthesizes complex labor law calculations and risk assessments into one cohesive output, saving hours of cross-referencing state statutes.

1. First, input key details about the termination claim—the employee's salary, time at the company, and state of employment.
2. Next, the MCP runs multiple checks: it calculates potential damages, assesses the risk profile, and validates any applicable punitive damage rules for that specific state.
3. The system returns a comprehensive report detailing both the monetary liability estimate and the overall legal context you need to advise on the claim.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I use calculate_damages_estimate for multiple states?**
You need to run `calculate_damages_estimate` separately for each state, ensuring you feed the correct jurisdiction's data into the tool for an accurate liability figure.

**What is the difference between using assess_claim_risk_profile and calculate_damages_estimate?**
The `assess_claim_risk_profile` determines if the claim is legally complex (the 'why'), while `calculate_damages_estimate` tells you how much money might be involved (the 'how much'). One provides context, the other provides quantification.

**Do I need to worry about state caps when using lookup_state_punitive_standard?**
Yes. The `lookup_state_punitive_standard` tool is specifically designed to retrieve those statutory caps, so you know exactly what limits apply before finalizing your payout estimate.

**Can this MCP handle general employment law questions?**
No. This MCP focuses only on financial quantification and risk assessment related to wrongful termination claims; it won't provide general legal advice.

**What inputs does the `calculate_damages_estimate` tool require?**
You must provide specific data points, including salary, years of tenure, and the state where the termination happened. The more precise you are with these figures, the better the initial estimate will be.

**If I use `lookup_state_punitive_standard` for an unsupported state, what happens?**
The MCP returns a clear error message indicating that jurisdiction is not covered. It won't guess or provide generalized information; it simply tells you the data isn't available there.

**How do I connect this MCP to my existing workflow?**
You connect and authenticate your preferred agent through Vinkius. Once linked, you access all tools—like `assess_claim_risk_profile`—directly within Claude or Cursor without needing separate credentials.

**Is my personal claim information kept private when running `assess_claim_risk_profile`?**
Yes, Vinkius manages data privacy using industry-standard encryption. All input data passed to the MCP is handled securely and adheres to strict client confidentiality protocols.
