MCP Server Quickstart

Gov Money Benefits runs a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI assistants the same verified government pay and benefits math that powers this site. Every response cites the rule pack it computed from (packId, verifiedDate, sourceUrl), so the assistant can show its sources.

Endpoint

https://api.cosyslabs.com/govmoneybenefits/mcp

Claude Desktop

Add the server to your claude_desktop_config.json (streamable HTTP transport):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "govmoneybenefits": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://api.cosyslabs.com/govmoneybenefits/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Then ask Claude something like: “What would a GS-12 step 5 in the Washington-Baltimore locality earn in 2026, and what FERS annuity would 25 years at that high-3 produce at 62?”

ChatGPT and other clients

Any MCP-capable client works with the same endpoint. In ChatGPT, add the server URL as a custom connector under Settings → Connectors (developer mode); in other clients, register the endpoint as a streamable-HTTP MCP server. No API key is required.
