What it knows that a model does not

A model answers from training data. This server reads the source when you ask.

  • The Section 179 limit is $2,500,000 for 2025 and $2,560,000 for 2026, with a $4,090,000 phase-out start (Rev. Proc. 2025-32).
  • Bonus depreciation is 100% again for property acquired after January 19, 2025. The contract date decides it, not delivery.
  • The 2026 heavy SUV cap is $32,000 and the first-year cap on a car of 6,000 lb or less is $20,300 with bonus.

Questions

Is the section 179 deduction 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?
IRS Pub. 946, Form 4562 instructions, Rev. Proc. 2025-32 and 2026-15.
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.
