Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Deterministic US financial planning: retirement Monte Carlo, Roth conversion, RMD, tax, IRMAA, SS

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Computer or cloud
  • Transport: stdio, Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Accounting, finance & tax
  • You need to fill in: NUMERATICA_API_KEY, Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 4 of 4 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 60 things (tools) annuity, benefits_dependent_care, benefits_health_plan, capital_market_assumptions …
  • You fill in yourself: NUMERATICA_API_KEY, NUMERATICA_BASE_URL, NUMERATICA_TIMEOUT_MS, Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Or run it on your computer

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "numeratica": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@numeratica/mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "NUMERATICA_API_KEY": "your-value",
        "NUMERATICA_BASE_URL": "your-value",
        "NUMERATICA_TIMEOUT_MS": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http numeratica https://api.numeratica.com/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Or run it on your computer

claude mcp add numeratica --env NUMERATICA_API_KEY=your-value --env NUMERATICA_BASE_URL=your-value --env NUMERATICA_TIMEOUT_MS=your-value -- npx -y @numeratica/mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "numeratica": {
      "url": "https://api.numeratica.com/mcp",

      }
    }

}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Values you fill in

  • NUMERATICA_API_KEY secret required env
    Numeratica API key (nmr_sk_...). Free self-serve key at https://docs.numeratica.com/get-key
  • NUMERATICA_BASE_URL env
    Override the API base URL. Defaults to https://api.numeratica.com; only needed for a staging or self-hosted deployment.
  • NUMERATICA_TIMEOUT_MS env
    Per-request timeout in milliseconds (default 120000, minimum 1000). Raise it for long-horizon Monte Carlo runs.
  • Authorization secret required HTTP header
    Bearer , from https://docs.numeratica.com/get-key. Required for every tools/call. Discovery (initialize, tools/list, ping) answers without it, so a registry can enumerate the catalogue, but a client…

Common questions

Is Numeratica — financial planning calculations safe?

It passed 4 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: NUMERATICA_API_KEY, Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 4 months ago, and the latest version (0.1.5) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

@numeratica/mcp

A thin MCP bridge that connects any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, …) to the [Numeratica](https://docs.numeratica.com) financial-planning API — retirement Monte Carlo, taxes, RMDs, Social Security, Roth conversions, and more.

Get a free key at [https://docs.numeratica.com](https://docs.numeratica.com).

How it works

This package is a transport bridge, nothing more. It reads JSON-RPC from stdin and forwards each message to the hosted POST /mcp endpoint with your API key as a bearer token, then writes the response back to stdout. The tool list and all results come straight from the API — so the bridge always stays in sync and ships no calculation logic of its own. Your key is sent only in the Authorization header and is never logged.

  • Zero runtime dependencies (Node ≥ 20 built-in fetch + node:readline).
  • Open source (MIT). The interesting part is the API; this is just the wire.

Install

No install needed — your MCP client runs it on demand with npx. (You can also npm i -g @numeratica/mcp to get the numeratica-mcp command.)

Step 1 — look around, no key needed

Start here. This config needs no signup and no key:

{

"mcpServers": { "numeratica": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@numeratica/mcp"] } } }

Put it in claude_desktop_config.json (Claude Desktop: Settings → Developer → Edit Config) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (Cursor, or a project .cursor/mcp.json), then restart the client. All 76 tools appear, and you can ask what's available — *"What Numeratica tools do you have?"*

Without a key the bridge runs in discovery-only mode: browsing the catalogue works, running a calculation returns a message telling you to add a key. That's the intended state, not a failure.

Step 2 — add a key to run calculations

Get a free key at docs.numeratica.com/get-key, then add one line:

{

"mcpServers": { "numeratica": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@numeratica/mcp"], "env": { "NUMERATICA_API_KEY": "nmr_sk_your_key_here" } } } }

Restart, and the tools are live. Try: *"Run a retirement Monte Carlo for a 40-year-old retiring at 65."*

Configuration

VariableRequiredDefaultNotes
NUMERATICA_API_KEYto run calculations—Your key. Get one free at docs.numeratica.com/get-key. Never logged. Omit it to browse the catalogue in discovery-only mode.
NUMERATICA_BASE_URLnohttps://api.numeratica.comOverride the API base (e.g. for testing).

You can also pass the key with --key or --key= instead of the env var, but prefer `NUMERATICA_API_KEY`: a key on the command line is visible to ps for every user on the machine, lands in shell history, and is stored verbatim in MCP client config files that people routinely paste into issue reports. For a non-env option that avoids all three, use --key-file .
