Asset register

What asset register does

The asset register MCP server maintains a fixed-asset register and calculates depreciation from bundled reference tables. It supports Polish KST rates, UK capital-allowance pools, and US MACRS GDS classes for 3-, 5-, and 7-year property under the half-year convention. Each table includes provenance such as the authority, source URL, effective date, and date the rates were read.

Assets can be stored with their purchase cost, in-service date, currency, and category. The server can return accumulated depreciation and net book value at a chosen date, produce a full schedule by year or month, and calculate the result of a sale, scrapping, or write-off. It also supplies a monthly depreciation journal with expense and accumulated-depreciation entries.

How it works

asset_add selects the rate, useful life, and convention from the applicable bundled table. Those values can be overridden. asset_schedule can price a new asset without storing it, or calculate a schedule for an existing one, continuing to zero or a residual value.

Polish calculations begin charging in the month after the asset enters the register. The Polish declining-balance method applies its stated restrictions and switches to straight line when required. Unsupported categories and conventions are refused rather than approximated. The tables are bundled files rather than a live feed, so repeated calculations use the same source data until the software changes.

Setup and configuration

You can run the asset register MCP server through the hosted streamable-HTTP endpoint at https://mcp.zovo.one/mcp/asset-register, using a bearer token or a token embedded in the URL path. A token can be obtained from the provider's connect or token endpoint. The bare hosted URL requires authentication for tool calls.

For local use, clone the repository, run npm install && npm run build, and configure an MCP client to launch node with the resulting dist/index.js. The repository vendors its @theluckystrike/* dependencies. A downloadable .mcpb package is also available for Claude Desktop. The package is not currently published to npm, so an npx installation is not a working setup path.

Tools and capabilities

• asset_add, asset_list, and asset_delete manage the register and its stored assets.
• asset_schedule returns annual or monthly depreciation schedules.
• asset_journal creates one month's debit and credit depreciation entries and an expense_add payload.
• asset_dispose records a disposal and calculates the gain or loss against net book value.
• asset_report summarizes value by category and currency, the year's charge, and yearly disposals.
• license_status and license_activate inspect or activate licensing. Pro activation is verified offline.
• The assets://categories resource exposes bundled categories, rates, and table coverage.

Limitations and notes

The asset register MCP server does not provide a live tax-rate feed. Users should check the returned effective_date and source_url, especially for recent purchases. The tables intentionally omit unsupported or uncertain classifications, including several Polish positions, some UK allowances and balancing rules, and multiple US MACRS conventions and property classes.

Free accounts allow 10 stored assets. Schedules, lists, disposals, and deletions remain available, while journals and reports require Pro. Deletion is refused when an asset has dependent journal or disposal records, and the response identifies the dependency. The hosted service requires a token; local operation keeps the data on the user's machine according to the README's stated design.
