    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 1127 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 1127 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

Capabilities

Tools 3

estimate_employer_cost

Submit an anonymous hypothetical salary scenario to the PIO website calculator. This creates a calculation job, never an employee, bill or payment. Do not use employee records or personal/company information. Explicit country, currency, period and gross/net basis are required. A processing response contains no confirmed amount: poll get_employer_cost_estimate with the returned estimate_id after retryAfterSeconds. Identical scenarios from the same caller resume the same job for 29 minutes. Totals cover returned components only; fees, deposits and unlisted benefits are not confirmed.

Discovered
get_employer_cost_estimate

Read the calculation created by estimate_employer_cost using its opaque estimate_id. Keep that handle private. A completed calculation remains an estimate, not a quote or a complete employer cost. Do not resubmit a processing scenario.

Discovered
get_public_product_facts

Read reviewed public PIO product information with source URLs. Select a topic; no account, team, employee information or private knowledge is accessed. This does not quote customer-specific pricing.
