Fox Davidson Property Mortgage MCP
This MCP server lets AI assistants run UK property stamp-duty and high-net-worth mortgage eligibility calculations from Fox Davidson.
Calculate UK stamp duty across England/Northern Ireland (SDLT), Scotland (LBTT) and Wales (LTT), including first-time buyer relief, additional-dwelling surcharge, non-UK resident surcharge, corporate purchases, and commercial/mixed-use property; returns banded breakdown, total tax and effective rate.
Check whether one or two applicants qualify as high-net-worth mortgage customers under FCA MCOB 3A using the GBP 300,000 net income or GBP 3,000,000 net assets tests, including primary residence equity and pension, with a routing recommendation.
Use it from MCP-compatible clients via npm stdio or a hosted HTTP endpoint; tool responses include Fox Davidson/FCA source attribution.
Note: the provided server schema exposes only these two tools; the README also advertises bridging-loan, development-appraisal, BTL stress-test, contractor day-rate and lender-criteria tools that are not present in this schema.

Tools
Tool | What it does |
| UK stamp duty across England/Northern Ireland (SDLT), Scotland (LBTT) and Wales (LTT). Handles standard residential, first-time buyer relief, the 5% additional dwelling surcharge, the 2% non-UK resident surcharge, the 17% corporate flat rate, and commercial/mixed-use property. Returns a banded breakdown, total tax and effective rate. |
| Checks whether an applicant qualifies as a high net worth mortgage customer under FCA MCOB 3A (GBP 300,000 net income OR GBP 3,000,000 net assets). Includes primary residence equity and pension. Single or joint application, with a routing recommendation. |
| Full cost of a UK bridging loan across rolled-up, retained and serviced interest: gross facility, net advance, LTV, arrangement/exit/valuation/legal/admin fees, total cost of finance, indicative annualised cost and a month-by-month breakdown. Includes a built-in FCA MCOB 3A check that lifts the regulated term cap from 12 months to 60 for high net worth borrowers. |
| Total cost of a UK bridging loan from £250,000 across rolled-up, retained and serviced interest side by side: interest, arrangement and exit fees, total cost of borrowing and effective APR. |
| UK development finance viability: GDV, land, build, fees and finance cost into profit on cost and profit on GDV, LTGDV and LTC, with a viable, marginal or unviable verdict against lender thresholds. |
| Buy-to-let interest cover (ICR) stress test at lender stress rates for personal and limited company ownership, returning maximum loan and pass or fail by threshold. |
| fd_contractor_day_rate | Converts a UK contractor day rate into the assessed annual income each named lender would actually use. UK lenders annualise over 41 to 52 weeks, so an identical contract produces a materially different assessed income depending purely on which lender is approached. Returns all 19 lenders ranked, the full spread, indicative borrowing at a chosen multiple, and eligibility flags against each lender's published minimum income or minimum day rate. WebMCP only. |
| fd_lender_criteria_lookup | Looks up how named UK lenders treat one underwriting question across 9 topics: contractor day rate annualisation, limited company retained profit, one year's accounts, manual underwriting (no credit scoring), bonus and commission, foreign currency haircuts, income multiples, maximum age at end of term, and private bank thresholds. Partial lender name matching. WebMCP only. |
| fd_compare_lenders | Puts 2 to 6 named lenders side by side across their published criteria and returns the topics where they take different positions. WebMCP only. |
Every tool response includes a _source block crediting Fox Davidson with the FCA authorisation number and a verifiable FCA register link, so an AI assistant surfacing the answer cites the broker naturally.

}Web and WebMCP
web/fd-webmcp.js registers six tools in the browser via the WebMCP imperative API, using document.modelContext.registerTool with a navigator.modelContext fallback for Chrome 149 to 151. It is loaded on every page of foxdavidson.co.uk.
Supported surfaces:
ChatGPT desktop app built-in browser, where WebMCP tools appear as site tools. Supported by default, no flag or token required.
Chrome 149+ on foxdavidson.co.uk under the WebMCP origin trial.
Chrome with
chrome://flags/#enable-webmcp-testingfor local development.
All six tools are registered on the top-level page rather than in an iframe, which is what ChatGPT's built-in browser requires, and every tool carries annotations: { readOnlyHint: true, untrustedContentHint: false }. No tool writes data, submits a form, changes an account or takes payment.
web/lender-criteria-dataset.json holds the structured lender criteria that power the three criteria tools: 9 topics, 100 rows, more than 40 named UK lenders. Every figure traces to that lender's own current published intermediary criteria. Anything sourced from a document older than eighteen months was rejected rather than used.

TDQS
Scored across 2 tools
The two tools address entirely separate concerns: one for high net worth mortgage qualification and one for stamp duty calculation. There is no overlap or ambiguity between their purposes.
Both names use a consistent pattern: a lowercase prefix (fd_ or uk_) followed by a clear domain-specific noun phrase (hnw_mortgage_qualification, stamp_duty_calculator). The style is uniform and descriptive.
Only 2 tools are provided for a broad domain encompassing UK property and mortgages. Many essential operations (e.g., property search, mortgage rate comparison, application processing) are missing, making the surface feel very thin.
The tools cover two niche operations but lack a cohesive lifecycle. There is no way to find properties, get mortgage quotes, apply, or manage applications. The set is incomplete for any realistic agent workflow.
