Available tools 10

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

commune
commune_tax
Live income+wealth tax for a specific commune & household (official ESTV, year 2026). commune = name or postcode; income in CHF; married bool; children count; wealth in CHF.
search_commune
Find Swiss communes by name or postcode (official ESTV location register). Returns commune name, canton and postcode — use before commune_tax or estimate_net_move when the spelling is uncertain.
book
book_consultation
Request a personal consultation with Mirabello Consultancy (Swiss relocation & investment-migration specialists) for questions beyond the data — international moves, residency, lump-sum taxation, wealth planning. Requires explicit consent to share contact details.
canton
get_canton
Get all metric values for one canton. canton = 2-letter abbreviation (e.g. ZH, GE, TI).
compare
compare_cantons
Compare 2–4 cantons across all metrics. cantons = array of abbreviations.
estimate
estimate_net_move
Estimate the net yearly CHF impact of moving between two Swiss communes for a household: live commune-level tax (official ESTV 2026) plus canton-average rent and health-premium differences. Positive savings = the move saves money. The flagship relocation calculation as a tool.
metrics
list_metrics
List available metrics for the 26 Swiss cantons (key, label, unit, source, what higher/lower means).
rank
rank_by_metric
Rank all cantons by a metric. metric = a key from list_metrics; order = "high" or "low" (default high).
trend
get_trend
Historical year-series for a metric in one canton (e.g. sunshine back to 1884, migration to 1981, rent to 2010). metric = key from list_metrics with history: rent_mean, net_migration_per_1000, foreigner_pct, sunshine_hours, balance_per_capita, beds_per_1000, jobs. Optional from_year.
upcoming
upcoming_votes
The next Swiss federal vote dates and (once announced) the subjects on the ballot, in DE/FR/IT/EN (official Federal Chancellery / VoteInfo data).

Swiss Living Index — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Swiss Living Index do?
It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: book_consultation, commune_tax, compare_cantons, estimate_net_move, get_canton, get_trend and 4 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Swiss Living Index working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 134 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Swiss Living Index?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Swiss Living Index need an API key?
No. Swiss Living Index completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 10 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Swiss Living Index?
It answers our handshake in 134 ms on average, which is faster than 76% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
