Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability60
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1005 tokens (~502/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail

Stability & Change Management100
  • No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass

Install

How do I install the com.costsegsmart/cost-seg-smart MCP server?

com.costsegsmart/cost-seg-smart is a hosted endpoint at https://costsegsmart.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
get_cost_seg_payment_link ~633

Generate a Stripe Checkout URL for a human buyer to purchase a Cost Seg Smart cost segregation study. Returns a payment_link_url plus the study cost, property metadata, and a liability disclaimer naming the calling agent. The buyer must review the URL and authorize payment in their browser — this tool does not charge a card directly. Always call get_cost_seg_quote first and confirm the price with the buyer before generating the link. Side effect: creates a real Stripe Checkout Session.

get_cost_seg_quote ~295

Quote a CPA-ready cost segregation study for a US real estate property. Returns the study cost in USD, estimated Year-1 accelerated depreciation, and (when a tax bracket is provided) Year-1 tax savings and ROI on the study fee. Pure tier-matrix lookup — no engine run, no charge to the buyer, safe to call repeatedly. Use this before generating a payment link so you can confirm the price with the buyer. Does not provide tax advice.
