Homebase
Let your coding agent look up Pennsylvania school districts, local EIT tax rates, and run mortgage affordability math while you scope a move or property side project.
Overview
Homebase is an MCP server for the Validate phase that exposes Pennsylvania school district lookup, PA EIT tax rates, and a mortgage affordability calculator to your agent.
What is this MCP server?
- School district lookup for PA homebuying and family planning research
- Pennsylvania EIT (Earned Income Tax) rate lookup by locality
- Mortgage affordability calculator wired for agent-driven what-if scenarios
- stdio MCP via npm package homebase-mcp (v1.0.4)
- No API key in server manifest—local npm install and MCP client config
- Server version 1.0.4 on npm identifier homebase-mcp
- stdio transport; no required secrets in server.json
- Three documented capability areas: school districts, PA EIT, mortgage affordability
What problem does it solve?
Agents guess at locality taxes and affordability because PA district and EIT data live on scattered municipal sites.
Who is it for?
Solo builders validating a PA move, house hack, or localized real-estate content who want agent-ready locality and mortgage math.
Skip if: National MLS workflows, automated underwriting, or teams that need non-PA jurisdictions out of the box.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent returns district, EIT, and payment-range answers you can paste into relocation spreadsheets, landing copy, or offer memos.
- School district identification answers for PA research threads
- Locality EIT rate references for tax planning copy or spreadsheets
- Mortgage affordability estimates from agent-supplied inputs
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Home purchase and locality economics sit in validation—before you commit capital, you need affordability and tax context, not just a build plan. Pricing subphase covers whether numbers work; mortgage and EIT inputs directly inform what you can afford and ongoing carry costs.
How it compares
Regional finance lookup MCP, not a full property-data API or agent skill playbook.

Who is Homebase for?
Indie builders and homebuyers working in Pennsylvania who want Claude Code or Cursor to pull school districts, EIT rates, and affordability estimates during research.
