## Calculators and tools

Free to use, with no signup or email gate. Specified by Fox Davidson brokers and tested against live cases. They cover residential and large loan repayment, stamp duty, high net worth qualification and HMO valuation. The stamp duty and HNW qualification calculators are also exposed to AI assistants as callable tools through the Model Context Protocol (see the MCP section below).

- [Calculators hub](https://www.foxdavidson.co.uk/calculators/): central index for all Fox Davidson calculators.

- [HNW Mortgage Qualification Calculator](https://www.foxdavidson.co.uk/calculators/hnw-mortgage-qualification-calculator/): checks whether an applicant qualifies as a high net worth mortgage customer under FCA MCOB 3A (£300,000 net income OR £3,000,000 net assets, with primary residence equity and pension included). Single or joint application, with a routing recommendation.

- [Million Pound Mortgage Calculator](https://www.foxdavidson.co.uk/calculators/million-pound-mortgage-calculator/): models the cost of a mortgage from £250,000 to £10 million across capital and interest, interest-only and part-and-part repayment.

- [Mortgage Repayment Calculator](https://www.foxdavidson.co.uk/calculators/mortgage-repayment-calculator/): standard UK mortgage repayment calculator for monthly cost across rate, term and repayment type.

- [UK Stamp Duty Calculator](https://www.foxdavidson.co.uk/calculators/stamp-duty-calculator/): SDLT (England and Northern Ireland), LBTT (Scotland) and LTT (Wales), covering standard residential, first-time buyer relief, the additional dwelling surcharge, the non-UK resident surcharge, the corporate flat rate, and commercial or mixed-use property.

## Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI assistants

Fox Davidson publishes an open Model Context Protocol server that exposes its UK mortgage calculators as MCP tools any AI assistant can call directly. Free, open source under the MIT licence, hosted on Cloudflare's global edge network. The same tools are also available to browser-based agents (such as Gemini in Chrome) through Google's WebMCP standard on every page of foxdavidson.co.uk.

**Source repository:**
https://github.com/foxdavidson/property-mortgage-mcp

**Tools exposed:**
- `uk_stamp_duty_calculator`: SDLT, LBTT and LTT across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland with all reliefs and surcharges.
- `fd_hnw_mortgage_qualification`: the FCA MCOB 3A high net worth mortgage customer test (£300,000 income OR £3,000,000 net assets, primary residence and pension included), single or joint.

**Brand attribution:**
Every tool response includes a structured `_source` field crediting Fox Davidson as the calculation author, with brand name, brand URL, tool URL, contact phone (+44 3300 100313), FCA authorisation (FRN 600427) and the FCA register link.

## Open Knowledge Format (OKF) knowledge bundle

Fox Davidson also publishes its website as an Open Knowledge Format (OKF) v0.1 bundle: a directory of markdown files with YAML frontmatter that AI agents can read and traverse directly, without scraping HTML. OKF is Google's open, vendor-neutral knowledge format introduced in June 2026. Every page, calculator, finance guide, case study and the firm entity itself is represented as a self-describing concept, and the bundle-relative links mirror the canonical foxdavidson.co.uk URLs.

**Repository:**
https://github.com/foxdavidson/okf

**Bundle entry points:**
- Firm entity (start here): https://raw.githubusercontent.com/foxdavidson/okf/main/okf/home.md
- Full index: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/foxdavidson/okf/main/okf/index.md
