Available tools 18

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

card
get_card_changes
Return recent verified credit-card fee and APR changes, most recent first. Each event is a diff between two confirmed snapshots of the same card.
get_card_downgrade_path
Return verified credit-card product-change (downgrade) paths and the issuer's fee-refund window: which no-fee or lower-fee card a given card can be product-changed to, and how long after the annual fee posts a refund is available on cancellation. Optionally filtered to one card id (issuer:slug); returns every verified path and window when omitted.
get_card_offers
Return current credit-card welcome-bonus offers (non-targeted, confidence-gated), each with a verified timestamp, source URL, and the card's own 12-month best.
bank
get_bank_gap
Estimate annual savings interest forgone for a supplied balance and optional bank name. comparisonApy is the average of the top three tracked savings rates, not an average across all banks; bankCount is the size of the tracked set. baselineApy is the named bank's APY, or the national savings benchmark when no bank is supplied. Return annualGap, APYs, observation date, freshness and methodology. This is a hypothetical estimate, not guaranteed savings or an account recommendation; verify eligibility, fees and current provider terms.
get_bank_gap_index
Return the current SwitchWize Bank Gap Index headline value, latest release, and methodology URL.
compare
compare_accounts
Compare two to five named banks on the editor-approved rates for savings, money market, checking or CDs (CDs by termMonths, default 12). For a balance, return each bank's APY, yearly interest, the gap to the best bank in your set and to the best verified rate, with verified date and source. Only banks in the approved set can be compared; a category with no current approved release returns data_unavailable and no rates. Illustrative interest before taxes, not a recommendation; verify eligibility and minimums.
compare_switch_savings
Compare a user's current APY with SwitchWize's current top savings APY for a balance.
top
get_top_hysa_rates
Return top high-yield savings rates with freshness and attribution. Answers only from the editor-approved snapshot; before its first release it returns no ranked rates and says so (approval_status: not_yet_approved). approvedOnly makes the requirement explicit. detail=full adds every listed account marked verified or tracked, best picks, movers, history and a headline summary.
get_top_rates
Return top SwitchWize rates with freshness and attribution. Savings, CDs, checking and money market answer only from their editor-approved snapshot. A category with no approved release yet returns no ranked rates and says so (approval_status: not_yet_approved) rather than serving unverified observations; approvedOnly makes that requirement explicit. Approved responses include product terms and field evidence; stale or unavailable releases return no ranked rates. detail=full (savings) adds the complete shared build: every listed account marked verified or tracked, best picks, movers, history and a headline summary.
best
best_move_this_week
Given the credit cards a user holds, rank this week's dollar-valued actions: which held card to use per spend category, welcome offers at a 12-month high on cards not held, active transfer bonuses, and (optionally) the savings-rate move beside the card move.
business
business_card_cost
Estimate yearly rewards minus annual, foreign and late fees for four small-business credit cards, given monthly spend, spend in the bonus category, share of spend abroad and late payments per year. Fees come from issuer pages a reviewer read and quoted; a fee with no current quote is marked not verified and left out of the ranking, never treated as zero. Excludes welcome bonuses, credits, interest and approval odds. Pay-in-full scenario, not personalized advice.
fed
get_fed_hike_pass_through
Return how much of the latest Federal Reserve rate hike each tracked savings account has passed through to savers so far: rate before the hike, rate now, change in basis points, pass-through share, and days until the bank moved. One source per bank; each row carries its source type and observation dates. Optionally filtered to one institution id.
index
get_index_dataset
Return a SwitchWize index dataset summary and recent series.
rate
get_rate_freshness
Return public data source freshness status and affected routes. savings is an alias for hysa; money-market is an alias for mma. Also supports cds, checking, macro, bank-gap-index, and indices. Omit category for all supported sources. Unknown categories return an error; a source with no observations is explicitly unavailable. Source collection freshness does not establish that a ranked deposit release is approved or current.
reality
get_reality_score
Estimate the modeled annual value of a supported premium credit card for a consumer segment. Supply a card slug or name and optionally a segment ID; the default is occasional-traveler. Return segment assumptions, score, rewards, credits, perks, fee, interest, friction, net value, caveats, sources, verification date, freshness and methodology. Gross recovered value is rewards + credits + perks. breakageMultiplier is gross recovered value / advertised value, NOT divided by annual fee. feeRecoveryMultiplier is max(0, gross recovered value - interest drag - rewards friction discount) / annual fee, before subtracting the fee. Friction applies to raw rewards only. Reality Score is 100 * net realized value / advertised value. Ratios are rounded. These are scenario estimates, not personalized advice or guaranteed benefits. Preserve stale or unavailable labels; do not infer that all terms share the observation date. Unknown cards or segments return a structured error with suggestions.
reward
get_reward_valuations
Return SwitchWize points/miles valuations (cents per point) per reward currency, with sample size and provisional/published status.
rollover
get_cd_rollover_rules
Return verified CD rollover rules for one bank, or every bank SwitchWize has verified: what happens automatically at maturity if the customer does nothing, the grace period, how to stop the rollover, and the early-withdrawal penalty. Each fact is sourced directly from the bank's own disclosure; an unverified field is omitted, never guessed.
transfer
get_transfer_bonuses
Return current point-transfer bonuses across tracked bank-to-partner routes, each with a verified timestamp, source URL, and best-ever-for-route when real history exists.

SwitchWize MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can SwitchWize MCP do?
It exposes 18 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: best_move_this_week, business_card_cost, compare_accounts, compare_switch_savings, get_bank_gap, get_bank_gap_index and 12 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 SwitchWize MCP mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around card, compare and top. 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 SwitchWize MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 1 of 91 checks got a reply (1.1%), average response time 473 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists SwitchWize MCP 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 SwitchWize MCP?
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 SwitchWize MCP need an API key?
No. SwitchWize MCP completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 18 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is SwitchWize MCP?
It answers our handshake in 473 ms on average, which is faster than 25% 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.
How many people use SwitchWize MCP?
The npm package switchwize-mcp was installed 58 times in the last week. Week over week that is -10%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is SwitchWize MCP open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at switchwize.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
