Epics Deals — US LLC & Tax Tools (MCP server)

A remote, stateless Streamable-HTTP MCP server that turns Epics Deals' most-asked founder questions into tools AI assistants can call:

All tools are read-only (title + readOnlyHint: true on each), serve public data, and need no authentication — the fastest path through every directory review.

Layout

• src/server.ts — the tools (one McpServer factory, shared by both entries)

• src/node-server.ts — local/self-host entry (node:http adapter around the Web Standard transport)

• src/worker.ts — Cloudflare Workers entry (Phase 2 target: https://mcp.epicsdeals.com/mcp)

• data/states.json — per-state fees with a source and a verified flag per row; tools say honestly when a fee is cross-checked rather than schedule-verified. Edit this file to update prices — no code changes needed.

• listing-pack/ — directory listing copy, docs/privacy page drafts, icon spec

• server.json — official MCP Registry manifest (draft; publish in Phase 2)

• test-results.md — the latest full local test transcript

Run it locally

npm install
npm run build
npm start            # http://localhost:8787/mcp  (PORT env to change)

Test it

npm run test:local   # builds, boots on :8799, runs initialize + tools/list + every tool, writes test-results.md

Deploy (Phase 2 — needs Muhammad's go)

npx wrangler deploy  # needs a Cloudflare account; then bind mcp.epicsdeals.com in wrangler.toml

Guardrails baked in

• Verified Epics Deals figures only ($130 formation, filing from $120, state filing $60 + fee, ITIN $299, EIN 12–18 days non-resident, 5472 penalty from $25,000).

• BOI is stated as not required for US-formed LLCs.

• Banking is always "guidance — approval is the bank's own decision", never a guarantee.

• No mention of Pakistan anywhere in tool output.
