Whose server it is

The registry name sits under passthroughtax.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • Its tools do every use case we checked: Look up the federal SALT cap for a given filer; Confirm whether a state follows federal bonus depreciation for 2026.
  • Checked on 6 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Once connected

  • For "Look up the federal SALT cap for a given filer", the likely first call is salt_cap.
  • For "Confirm whether a state follows federal bonus depreciation for 2026", the likely first call is bonus_conformity.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • ptet_rules

    Elective pass-through entity tax for one state and tax year: eligibility, who elects, deadline, rate, owner credit or exclusion, estimates, and sunset. Returns not_covered when this server has no file. Informational, not tax advice.

  • salt_cap

    Compute the federal SALT deduction cap under 26 USC 164(b)(6) and (b)(7) for a tax year, filing status, and modified adjusted gross income. Returns the cap and the steps, not the deduction. Years before 2018 are not_covered. MAGI is used…

  • bonus_conformity

    Whether a state conforms to IRC 168(k) bonus depreciation and IRC 179 for a tax year, its IRC conformity date, and the add-back or subtraction in plain terms. Unverified fields are null. Unknown states and years are not_covered.

  • coverage

    List jurisdictions and tax years in this dataset. elective_ptet_2026 counts only 2026 files with an elective PTET. no_elective_ptet_2026 and not_effective_2026 are separate and are not PTET states for 2026.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pass-through-tax-rules": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://passthroughtax.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http passthroughtax https://passthroughtax.com/api/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://passthroughtax.com/api/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
