Developers
Work Money Tax exposes four developer surfaces: an MCP server for AI assistants, public versioned rule packs, embeddable calculator widgets, and llms.txt. Everything is backed by the same verified data our own calculators use — every response and every pack carries its provenance.
MCP server
Streamable-HTTP Model Context Protocol endpoint:
https://api.cosyslabs.com/workmoneytax/mcp
Tools are generated from the same registry that powers the site’s calculators, so the live list is always the server’s own tools/list response. Every tool response cites the rule pack it computed from — packId, verifiedDate, and the official sourceUrl — so agents can show users exactly where each figure comes from. Coverage follows the six wings of the hub, with tools landing as each wing’s rule packs are verified:
- Unemployment Benefits
- Severance & Layoffs
- 1099 & Gig Taxes
- Nanny & Household Employer Taxes
- Creator Taxes
- Paycheck & Salary

Public rule packs
Every changing figure on this site (state unemployment benefit tables, IRS FICA and self-employment tax rates, federal and state withholding tables, FUTA thresholds, CPP/EI and CRA withholding figures) lives in a versioned JSON rule pack, published read-only:
https://workmoneytax.com/rulepacks/index.json — pack directory https://workmoneytax.com/rulepacks/<packId>.json — individual packs
Each pack includes provenance fields: packId, effectiveYear, sourceUrl (the official agency document it was transcribed from), verifiedDate, and status (verified or update-pending). If you consume a pack, honor status — stale data should fail loud, not silently.
llms.txt
AI crawlers and agents should start at /llms.txt, which maps the site’s tools, rule packs, and compliance notes in a machine-friendly format.
Embeddable widgets
Embed any calculator with a single iframe using the /embed/<slug> pattern:
<iframe src="https://workmoneytax.com/embed/<tool-slug>" width="100%" height="620" style="border:none;border-radius:12px" title="Calculator name" ></iframe>
No API key required.
Attribution requirements
- Embeds include an attribution link back to workmoneytax.com — it must remain visible and unmodified.
- If you republish figures from our rule packs, cite both the official agency source (
sourceUrl) and this site as the transcription source. - Bulk scraping or redistribution of the site or rule packs without written permission is not allowed — ask us instead.
- Anything you build on this data inherits our framing: estimates only, not legal, tax, financial, or benefits advice, and only the responsible agency can determine an actual tax or benefit amount.
