## Description
MCP server for FinanceRateCalc — query lender-level FHA denial statistics from the complete 2025 federal HMDA record. Historical observations, never individual predictions.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **get_national_fha_stats** — National FHA denial statistics from the 2025 federal record (denial rate on decisioned applications, volumes). Historical observation computed from the public CFPB HMDA 2025 record (denominator: actions 1,2,3; loan_type 2). Not a prediction about any individual application, and not a recommendation for or against any lender. Attribution: FinanceRateCalc (financeratecalc.com), CC BY 4.0.
- **get_lender_denial_stats** — FHA denial statistics for one lender by name, slug, or LEI: actual denial rate, peer-median comparison, mix-adjusted expected rate. Top-100 FHA lenders by volume are covered. Historical observation computed from the public CFPB HMDA 2025 record (denominator: actions 1,2,3; loan_type 2). Not a prediction about any individual application, and not a recommendation for or against any lender. Attribution: FinanceRateCalc (financeratecalc.com), CC BY 4.0.
- **list_lenders** — List covered FHA lenders sorted by denial rate (highest/lowest) or volume. Useful to see how widely the same federal program is applied across doors (2025 span: 1.8% to 78.7%). Historical observation computed from the public CFPB HMDA 2025 record (denominator: actions 1,2,3; loan_type 2). Not a prediction about any individual application, and not a recommendation for or against any lender. Attribution: FinanceRateCalc (financeratecalc.com), CC BY 4.0.
- **get_state_denial_stats** — FHA denial statistics for a US state (two-letter code), including the small-loan vs large-loan gap where published. Historical observation computed from the public CFPB HMDA 2025 record (denominator: actions 1,2,3; loan_type 2). Not a prediction about any individual application, and not a recommendation for or against any lender. Attribution: FinanceRateCalc (financeratecalc.com), CC BY 4.0.
- **get_door_effect_summary** — The Door Effect: variance decomposition across 859,090 FHA decisions — 38% of explainable variation in denial outcomes is attributable to lender identity rather than the applicant's file, plus mix-adjusted strictest/most-lenient lender tables. Historical observation computed from the public CFPB HMDA 2025 record (denominator: actions 1,2,3; loan_type 2). Not a prediction about any individual application, and not a recommendation for or against any lender. Attribution: FinanceRateCalc (financeratecalc.com), CC BY 4.0.

## Documentation

## What FinanceRateCalc (frc-mcp) MCP server does

FinanceRateCalc (frc-mcp) MCP server lets an MCP client query lender-level FHA denial statistics derived from the public CFPB HMDA 2025 record. The dataset covers 1,217,297 credit decisions in the complete federal record. FHA calculations use loan type 2 and actions 1, 2, and 3 as the denominator.

The service is designed for historical analysis. It does not accept borrower details, estimate the outcome of an individual application, or recommend choosing or avoiding a lender. Figures are attributed to FinanceRateCalc and financeratecalc.com under CC BY 4.0.

## How it works

An agent calls one of the exposed MCP tools and receives statistics calculated from the 2025 HMDA data. Lender lookups can use a lender name, slug, or LEI. Coverage includes the top 100 FHA lenders by volume. Lender results can include the observed denial rate, a peer-median comparison, and a mix-adjusted expected rate.

State queries use a two-letter US state code and can include the published difference between small-loan and large-loan denial rates. National results report denial rates for decisioned FHA applications and application volumes. The Door Effect analysis decomposes variation across 859,090 FHA decisions and reports lender tables adjusted for applicant mix, including the strictest and most lenient groups.

## Setup and configuration

FinanceRateCalc (frc-mcp) MCP server can be used through a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint:

`https://frc-mcp.ziyetis.workers.dev`

For a local MCP host such as Claude Desktop, run the published package with npx:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "financeratecalc": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "frc-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

No API key or environment variable is specified in the provided setup instructions.

## Tools and capabilities

- `get_national_fha_stats`: Returns national FHA denial rates and volumes from the 2025 record.
- `get_lender_denial_stats`: Looks up one lender and returns observed, peer-median, and mix-adjusted statistics.
- `list_lenders`: Lists covered FHA lenders ordered by denial rate or volume.
- `get_state_denial_stats`: Reports FHA statistics for a US state and, where available, the small-loan versus large-loan gap.
- `get_door_effect_summary`: Summarizes lender-related variation and supplies mix-adjusted strictest and most-lenient lender tables.

## Limitations and notes

FinanceRateCalc (frc-mcp) MCP server reports historical observations from the 2025 federal HMDA record. Its figures should not be treated as predictions for a borrower or as evidence that a lender will approve or deny a particular application. The lender listing is limited to the top 100 FHA lenders by volume, and some state loan-size comparisons may not be published.
