Claude Code: ask. ### `calculate_iht` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Estimate a UK Inheritance Tax bill (2025/26 England & Wales rules). Models the nil-rate band, residence nil-rate band and its £2m taper, spousal doubling, the 40% charge, the 2027 pension change, plus optional debts, charity rate (36% at 10%+), transferred allowances and business/agricultural relief. Illustrative only — excludes lifetime-gift history. ``` ### `calculate_lpa_cost` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Calculate the Office of the Public Guardian fees to register Lasting Powers of Attorney in England & Wales: £92 per LPA (applications received from 17 November 2025), with a 50% remission where the donor's gross annual income is under £12,000 and a full exemption on certain means-tested benefits (both claimed with form LPA120). Registration fees only — nothing about drafting costs or whether an LPA is right for someone. ``` ### `check_deed_of_variation` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Check whether a deed of variation is available — guidance-only eligibility against the s.142 IHTA 1984 conditions: the hard two-year window from the date of death (HMRC does not extend it), adult beneficiaries with capacity, and the agreement of everyone whose share would reduce. Returns yes / no / depends with blockers, goal-mapped possibilities, and an honest note that ALWAYS accompanies the result. No tax outcome is promised — whether it helps depends on the whole estate. ``` ### `check_need_probate` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Check whether a grant of probate (or letters of administration) is LIKELY to be needed in England & Wales, from what the person owned and how they owned it. Returns a guidance verdict — likely / maybe / unlikely — with per-asset reasons and next steps. Indicative only: every bank and institution sets its OWN probate threshold and decides asset by asset, so the honest answer always includes asking each one directly. ``` ### `check_rnrb` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Check residence nil-rate band eligibility and amount (England & Wales 2025/26): up to £175,000 per person where a home you own (or owned) passes to direct descendants, doubled for a married couple / civil partners, plus a late spouse's transferred allowance — capped at the home's value and tapered by £1 for every £2 the estate exceeds £2m. Illustrative check with plain-English reasons. ``` ### `estimate_care_cost` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Project what care home fees could cost: typical self-funder weekly ranges (sourced 2026 estimates rounded from published averages) × 52 weeks × years, by region and care type. The educate-only means-test notes are ALWAYS included — England's capital limits and Wales's single limit are stated as facts for education; there is deliberately no 'how much could you protect' computation, because no arrangement simply avoids care fees. ``` ### `estimate_probate_cost` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Estimate the cost of probate in England & Wales: the HMCTS application fee (£300 where the estate is over £5,000; no fee at £5,000 or below — the same with or without a will), sealed-copy costs, and — on the professional route — typical fee ranges across the UK market (NOT the firm's fees; most professional fees attract VAT on top). Guidance, not advice. ``` ### `gift_7_year_timeline` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Map lifetime gifts onto the 7-year-rule timeline: which taper BAND each gift sits in and when it falls outside the estate. An EDUCATIONAL timeline of the bands and mechanics only — NOT a personal tax computation: taper relief reduces the rate of tax, never the gift's value, and it only matters where total gifts in the 7 years before death exceed the £325,000 nil-rate band (used up oldest gift first). No personal tax figures are computed. ``` ### `request_consultation` - The name "request_consultation" says "request": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Submit a request for a FREE, no-obligation estate-planning consultation on the user's behalf. Use only with the user's explicit consent and real contact details. Returns a reference id; the Simply Estate team follows up. Estate planning here is not FCA-regulated. ``` ### `who_inherits_intestacy` - The description's first verb is "apply": a word for a change. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Apply the England & Wales intestacy rules (dying without a will, rules from 26 July 2023): who inherits and how much. ALWAYS returns the warnings — e.g. a cohabiting partner inherits nothing, and jointly-owned assets usually pass outside these rules by survivorship. ``` ### `will_readiness_check` - Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Score estate-planning readiness against a checklist. Pass `answers` as a map of item id → true/false (ids: has_will, will_recent, executors_named, guardians_named, lpa_property, lpa_health, wishes_recorded, assets_listed; advanced: pension_nominations, digital_assets, business_succession, foreign_assets, life_insurance_trust). Missing or false items count as gaps. Returns a band: covered / gaps / urgent. ``` ## Only reads (5) Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow. ### `compare_pension_2027` - The name "compare_pension_2027" says "compare": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Show the Inheritance Tax impact of the April 2027 change that brings most unused pensions into the estate: the IHT before vs after, and the extra tax. Exposure only — models nothing about pension products or what to do with a pension (that is FCA-regulated advice). ``` ### `compare_trusts` - The name "compare_trusts" says "compare": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Recommend which UK trust types are worth discussing for a goal, with an HONEST note that always accompanies the recommendation (e.g. no trust simply avoids care fees — deliberate-deprivation rules apply with no time limit). Each trust lists what it does NOT do. 'No trust may be needed' is a valid answer. ``` ### `get_faqs` - The name "get_faqs" says "get": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Return Simply Estate's frequently-asked questions and answers (fees, regulation, IHT, trusts, wills/LPAs/probate). Optional keyword filter. ``` ### `lookup_glossary` - The name "lookup_glossary" says "lookup": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Look up plain-English definitions of UK estate-planning terms (IHT, trusts, LPAs, probate). Omit `term` to list all. ``` ### `search_guides` - The name "search_guides" says "search": a word for reading. Description, as the server wrote it: ```untrusted-server-text Search Simply Estate's estate-planning guides (wills, IHT, LPAs, trusts, probate) by keyword. Returns titles, URLs and excerpts to cite. ``` ## Claude Code permissions For `.claude/settings.json`, assuming the server is installed as `estate-planning`: ```json { "permissions": { "allow": [ "mcp__estate-planning__compare_pension_2027", "mcp__estate-planning__compare_trusts", "mcp__estate-planning__lookup_glossary", "mcp__estate-planning__search_guides", "mcp__estate-planning__get_faqs" ], "ask": [ "mcp__estate-planning__calculate_iht", "mcp__estate-planning__who_inherits_intestacy", "mcp__estate-planning__will_readiness_check", "mcp__estate-planning__estimate_probate_cost", "mcp__estate-planning__check_need_probate", "mcp__estate-planning__calculate_lpa_cost", "mcp__estate-planning__estimate_care_cost", "mcp__estate-planning__gift_7_year_timeline", "mcp__estate-planning__check_deed_of_variation", "mcp__estate-planning__check_rnrb", "mcp__estate-planning__request_consultation" ], "deny": [] } } ```
