## Tools
- compare_cities (Compare two cities for a household) - Compare two cities for one household: take-home pay, full cost breakdown, the equivalent target salary needed to match source net cash, non-cash lifestyle deltas (vacation, parental leave, healthcare), and a 0-100 quality score on five weighted dimensions. Use this for a head-to-head between two named cities; for a single city call get_city_summary, and to rank many cities call rank_cities. Read-only, no side effects; returns a text summary plus structured JSON. RSU income is NOT a parameter; RSU is treated as source-only because grants typically do not follow you across employers. Endpoint: https://mcp.cityparity.com/mcp
- list_cities (List supported cities by country) - List all city slugs supported by cityparity, grouped by country. Call this first to discover valid slugs before any other tool; the optional country filter narrows to one country. Read-only, no side effects; returns a text summary plus structured JSON. Endpoint: https://mcp.cityparity.com/mcp
- get_city_summary (Get a one-city profile) - Concise profile of one city: currency, tax shape (bracket count + top rate + payroll/national insurance), headline costs (rent / groceries / transit / childcare), safety-net values (parental leave, vacation, universal healthcare), and data freshness. Lighter than compare_cities; use when the user is asking about one place rather than a comparison. Read-only, no side effects; returns a text summary plus structured JSON. Endpoint: https://mcp.cityparity.com/mcp
- rank_cities (Rank cities by composite quality score) - Rank supported cities by composite quality-of-life score across five weighted dimensions (financial, healthcare, vacation, childcare, safety_net). Returns top N (default 10), with filters for country, countries, region (europe/asia/north_america/south_america/oceania), has_universal_healthcare, include_cities, and exclude_cities. Use this to shortlist across many cities; for a head-to-head between two named cities use compare_cities. The same scenario is applied to every city so scores are directly comparable (default: single person, 2BR rent, $100k USD-equivalent gross). Read-only, no side effects; returns a text summary plus structured JSON. Endpoint: https://mcp.cityparity.com/mcp
- get_safety_net (Look up family safety net for several cities) - Batch lookup of safety-net values — parental leave weeks + paid percentage, universal healthcare flag, vacation days, public holidays — for 1 to 20 cities at once, plus each city's safety_net dimension score (0-100) for relative strength. This is the only tool that accepts many cities in one call: use it to line several places up on family / leave / healthcare benefits. For one city's full profile (tax shape + costs + safety net together) call get_city_summary instead; for a two-city head-to-head that includes cost-of-living use compare_cities. Read-only, no side effects; returns a text summary plus structured JSON. Endpoint: https://mcp.cityparity.com/mcp
- get_inbound_tax_regime (Look up inbound-worker tax regime for a city) - Look up a city's inbound-worker tax regime, the special reduced-tax schemes for relocating workers that general cost-of-living tools do not surface. Returns null when the country has no modeled regime (most cities). Modeled regimes: Italy impatriati (Milan, Rome), Portugal IFICI (Lisbon, Porto), Belgium expat (Brussels), Poland B2B ryczałt (Warsaw, Kraków), Greece inbound (Athens). Each entry includes the mechanic (reduction percentage or flat rate), duration, income cap if any, and a conservative eligibility hint. Read-only, no side effects; returns a text summary plus structured JSON. Endpoint: https://mcp.cityparity.com/mcp
