Common questions

Is COLA Insight safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 22 days 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?

COLA Insight Data

Open data, calculation notes, charts, and an embeddable widget for tracking the 2027 Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA).

Live project: COLA Insight Current forecast and CPI-W tracker: 2027 Social Security COLA forecast Public asset library: Data, charts, downloads, and widget

Archived dataset: Latest Zenodo record · Version 2026.10.16

Public MCP server: Connect an AI assistant

Official Registry: io.github.ge3m0r/cola-insight

COLA Insight is an independent educational project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Social Security Administration (SSA), Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), or the U.S. government.

What is in this repository

This repository publishes the parts of COLA Insight that are most useful for independent verification and reuse:

preserved 2027 COLA forecast and calculation snapshots;
a complete benefit-impact table from $100 through $5,000;
the public JSON data contract and an example record;
calculation methodology and status definitions;
publication-ready SVG charts;
a copy-and-paste version of the live COLA widget;
public MCP distribution metadata and connection documentation.

The production website, Cloudflare Worker deployment, D1 configuration, scheduled refresh system, rate limiting, analytics, and editorial/SEO application source are intentionally maintained separately.

The files in this repository are publishable snapshots. The permanent URLs above are the authoritative, automatically updated versions.

Data status matters

Every record uses exactly one status:

forecast — an independent estimate while one or more required Q3 CPI-W observations are unavailable;
computed — all three observations are available and the statutory formula can be reproduced, but SSA confirmation is still pending;
official — SSA has published the benefit-year COLA.

Do not describe a forecast or computed record as an official SSA announcement.

See methodology/status-definitions.md and schema/data-dictionary.md before reusing the data.

Quick examples

Fetch the current record:

const response = await fetch("https://www.colainsight.com/api/cola");

const record = await response.json();

console.log(record.status, record.rate.displayed);

Connect an MCP-compatible assistant using the remote Streamable HTTP endpoint:

https://www.colainsight.com/mcp

The MCP server is public, read-only, and requires no API key. It provides four tools for the current COLA record, educational benefit calculations, preserved snapshot history, and primary sources. See mcp/README.md for the tool list, example configuration, privacy guidance, and versioning policy.

Primary sources

BLS Public Data API — CPI-W series CWUR0000SA0
SSA latest COLA determination
CMS Medicare premiums and deductibles
FRED CPI-W series — retrieval fallback and cross-check

The source used to retrieve each stored observation is included with the record. A fallback changes the retrieval path, not the underlying BLS series.
