Available tools 3

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

employer

get_employer_cost_estimate

Read the calculation created by estimate_employer_cost using its opaque estimate_id. Keep that handle private. A completed calculation remains an estimate, not a quote or a complete employer cost. Do not resubmit a processing scenario.

estimate

estimate_employer_cost

Submit an anonymous hypothetical salary scenario to the PIO website calculator. This creates a calculation job, never an employee, bill or payment. Do not use employee records or personal/company information. Explicit country, currency, period and gross/net basis are required. A processing response contains no confirmed amount: poll get_employer_cost_estimate with the returned estimate_id after retryAfterSeconds. Identical scenarios from the same caller resume the same job for 29 minutes. Totals cover returned components only; fees, deposits and unlisted benefits are not confirmed.

public

get_public_product_facts

Read reviewed public PIO product information with source URLs. Select a topic; no account, team, employee information or private knowledge is accessed. This does not quote customer-specific pricing.

PIO Public Information and Cost Estimates — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can PIO Public Information and Cost Estimates do?

It exposes 3 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: estimate_employer_cost, get_employer_cost_estimate, get_public_product_facts. 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 PIO Public Information and Cost Estimates working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 89 of 89 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 664 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect PIO Public Information and Cost Estimates?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does PIO Public Information and Cost Estimates need an API key?

No. PIO Public Information and Cost Estimates completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 3 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is PIO Public Information and Cost Estimates?

It answers our handshake in 664 ms on average, which is faster than 14% 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.
