Available tools 2

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

berechne

berechne

Calculate detailed payroll and net salary for one country and person. Use this for tax class, region, health insurance, pension, deductions, or other country-specific inputs. For the same gross salary across two or more countries, use taxcompare. Use semantic fields where available; legacy fields remain REST compatibility inputs. Monetary fields in the legacy request are minor units and period-specific.

taxcompare

taxcompare

Compare annual gross, net pay, taxes, and employee social contributions across two or more supported countries. Use shared_gross for the same offer and local_median_gross for country-market benchmarks. Provide tax_year and at least two countries. Use berechne for detailed single-country payroll.

Obolus — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Obolus do?

It exposes 2 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: berechne, taxcompare. 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 Obolus 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 1020 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Obolus?

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 Obolus need an API key?

No. Obolus completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 2 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Obolus?

It answers our handshake in 1020 ms on average, which is faster than 10% 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.
