  • The minimum wage in all 50 states and DC on any date in 2026 or 2027.
  • Increases set for 2026 and January 1, 2027, many announced after model training ended.
  • The tipped cash wage and the tip credit for each state.

Sources US DOL state tables (July 2026), checked against state labor department pages in October 2026.

Questions

Is the minimum wage MCP server free?
Yes. The hosted URL is free and needs no token, key or account. The source is open on GitHub.
Why not just ask the model?
A model answers from its training data. That data stops at a cutoff date, and long sums can drift. This server reads its data or rules each time you ask, so the answer is current and exact.
Where does the data come from?
US DOL state tables (July 2026), checked against state labor department pages in October 2026.
Which apps can use it?
Any MCP client that accepts a remote server URL: Claude.ai and Claude Desktop custom connectors, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and others. You can also run it locally with npx.
