Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security80
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present. View diagnostics → Pass
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability75
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1235 tokens (~176/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management86
- Stability check failed: schema churn in the 30 days we've observed: 1 tool removals, 0 breaking changes, 0 auth/transport breaks, 1 additions. See how to fix → Fail
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
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 7 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 8 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the Start Companies LLC Formation MCP server?
Start Companies LLC Formation is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.startcompanies.io/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.

create_llc_lead Submit an LLC formation request ~235
Registers the LLC formation request, emails the user a confirmation with their reference number, and returns the payment link. The user does not need to fill in any web form afterwards: everything was captured here. If they are not ready to pay, hand them off to a person, not to a form. Call this ONLY after the user has explicitly confirmed the package. Start Companies replies by email within 24 hours.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| actividad | string | yes | What the business does. E.g. "marketing agency". |
| string | yes | Contact email. | |
| estado | string | – | US state where the LLC will be formed. |
| nombre | string | yes | Full name of the owner. |
| nombre_empresa | string | – | Desired LLC name, without the "LLC" suffix. |
| pais | string | yes | Country of residence of the owner. |
| paquete | string | yes | The package the user confirmed. |
| socios | integer | yes | Total number of members, including the owner. |
| string | yes | WhatsApp number including country code. E.g. +54 9 11 5555 5555. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_checkout_link Get the payment link for a package ~122
Returns the Stripe checkout link for one of the three packages. Use it when the user already knows which package they want and wants to pay now, or when they submitted the request earlier and want to pay afterwards. If they already have a reference number, pass it so the payment can be matched to their request.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| paquete | string | yes | Which package to get the payment link for. |
| referencia | string | – | Reference number from a previous create_llc_lead, e.g. SC-0812-KDJC. Pass it if the user has one. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_itin_info ITIN cost and requirements ~121
Returns what an ITIN is, what it costs, which documents are needed, how long the IRS takes, and the link to the application form on the Start Companies website. It does not submit or start an application. An ITIN is the IRS personal tax ID for people without an SSN. Use it when the user asks about ITIN, tax ID, taxpayer number or filing as a member of a multimember LLC.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| socios | integer | – | How many people need an ITIN. Used to quote the total. Defaults to 1. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_llc_options Get LLC packages and pricing ~60
Returns the three US LLC formation packages offered by Start Companies, with price, turnaround time and what each one includes, plus add-on services, annual renewals and tax advisory. Call this before discussing prices, renewals, advisory or what is included.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_order_status Check the status of a request ~125
Looks up a previously submitted LLC formation request and returns its status. Requires BOTH the reference number (format SC-MMDD-XXXX) and the email address used when the request was submitted: the email is a second factor, not a search key. Ask the user for both before calling. Returns the status only, not personal data.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| string | yes | The email address used when the request was submitted. Must match the one on file. | |
| referencia | string | yes | Reference number returned by create_llc_lead, e.g. SC-0812-KDJC. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_renewal_info Annual LLC renewal cost and scope ~152
Returns what the annual LLC renewal costs and covers, including the yearly IRS filings: Form 1120 + 5472 for foreign-owned single-member LLCs, or Form 1065 with its schedules for multimember LLCs. Renewals are not sold through this server: the user is referred to the team by WhatsApp, email or the client portal. Use it when the user asks about renewing, keeping the LLC active, IRS filings, penalties, the annual report, the state fee, or what happens after the first year.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| estado | string | – | US state of the existing LLC. Delaware costs more. |
| multimember | boolean | – | true if the LLC has more than one member. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
recommend_llc_package Recommend an LLC package ~175
Given the US state, whether the LLC has more than one member, and which services the user needs, returns the package that matches those inputs and explains why. Read-only: it does not create anything.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| estado | string | – | US state where the LLC will be formed. E.g. "Wyoming", "WY", "Delaware". |
| multimember | boolean | – | true if the LLC has more than one member. |
| quiere_account_manager | boolean | – | true if the user wants a dedicated account manager. |
| quiere_declaracion_federal | boolean | – | true if the user wants the federal tax filing (1120+5472 or 1065) included. |
| quiere_renovacion_incluida | boolean | – | true if the user wants the annual renewal and Annual Report included. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
