FilingDesk Data does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 99.7% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 8

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

compare

compare_formation_options

Factual tradeoffs to help someone decide WHERE to form or WHAT entity type to pick. Returns fixed comparative facts and a required disclaimer — deliberately NOT a recommendation. Present the options neutrally, relay the disclaimer, and let the user choose; a FilingDesk specialist confirms the choice before anything is filed.

compare_llc_costs

Rank states by what an LLC actually costs. Compares the one-time formation fee, the recurring state cost, and the combined first-year total. Use this for 'cheapest state to form an LLC' style questions rather than guessing.

llc

check_llc_name

Check a proposed business name against a state's live registry. REAL results for Wyoming and Delaware only; Florida returns a Sunbiz search link; all other states return unsupported. A verdict is an indication, never a reservation — always show the returned note and verifyUrl.

get_llc_fees

Official LLC formation fee, recurring annual-report/franchise-tax cost, processing time, and known gotchas for a single US state, each with its source URL. Covers all 50 states + DC.

annual

get_annual_report_deadline

Work out when a state's annual report or franchise tax is next due, the amount owed, and the late penalty. States that key the deadline to the formation anniversary or quarter need formationDate; without it the tool says so instead of guessing a date.

filing

list_filing_states

What FilingDesk can do per state: which states it files in today with all-in pricing, which states have real name-checking, and confirmation that fee/deadline data covers all 50 states + DC. Call this before telling a user FilingDesk can file somewhere.

preview

preview_order

Build an exact order summary WITHOUT submitting anything. No side effects. Validates the details, prices the order, and returns a confirmation summary. ALWAYS call this and show the user the returned summary before calling submit_order.

submit

submit_order

Submit a real formation order to FilingDesk. THIS HAS A REAL-WORLD EFFECT: it creates an order and notifies a FilingDesk specialist. Only call after preview_order and after the user has explicitly confirmed the summary. Nothing is charged now — a specialist reviews the order, verifies the name, and emails a payment link. Returns the order reference.

FilingDesk Data — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can FilingDesk Data do?

It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_llc_name, compare_formation_options, compare_llc_costs, get_annual_report_deadline, get_llc_fees, list_filing_states and 2 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 →

What is FilingDesk Data mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around llc and compare. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is FilingDesk Data working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 90 of 91 checks got a reply (98.9%), average response time 823 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect FilingDesk Data?

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 FilingDesk Data need an API key?

No. FilingDesk Data completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is FilingDesk Data?

It answers our handshake in 823 ms on average, which is faster than 17% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
