Available tools 11

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). rank 1 = lowest value for cost metrics (dir 'low', e.g. taxes/rent) and highest value for capacity/benefit metrics (dir 'high', e.g. sunshine/jobs). Ranks describe order under the stated scenario, not universal suitability.

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).

recommend

recommend_canton

Personal canton recommendation ("Where should I live in Switzerland?"): weight 5 categories 0–3 (cost = rent/premiums/electricity; tax = income tax/fiscal balance; work = jobs/unemployment/migration; env = sunshine/crime/vacancy; health = hospital capacity) and get all 26 cantons scored by the transparent percentile method of the Swiss Living Quality Index. Every evidence figure carries value, unit, rank, source and year. Scores describe order under the stated weights, not universal suitability.

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, unemployment_pct (SECO yearly averages to 1993). 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 11 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 5 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 88 of 92 checks got a reply (95.7%), average response time 179 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Swiss Living Index as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

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 11 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 179 ms on average, which is faster than 77% 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.
