Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http tektolo 'https://tektolo.com/mcp'

Tektolo skills and connector
Agent skills, a Claude Code plugin and the public API contract for Tektolo. Tektolo runs rules-based, source-cited tools for real-world operations work: you send structured inputs, versioned rules are applied, and you get a checked answer with its sources. The same findings always get the same answer. Where a tool reads your notes or a document, an AI model turns them into findings and never sets a number; the answer lists every finding it read so you can check them. Every tool can be used three ways: on the web, from an AI assistant over MCP, or over REST.
This repository holds only instructions and public metadata. The engines and rule tables run on tektolo.com. Every file here is synced from the live site daily by scripts/sync.py.
Tools
| Tool | What it does | MCP tools | Links |
|---|---|---|---|
| Property turnover estimate | Turn move-out inspection findings into a priced, vendor-ready make-ready scope. | property_turnover_quick_estimate, property_turnover_scope, property_turnover_issue_codes | web tool · reference · skill |
| Deposit settlement | Settle a US rental security deposit under the state's rule (and a covered city's): the return deadline, each deduction assessed (allowed category, depreciation, documentation), interest owed, the refund, penalty exposure and a draft itemized statement, every number cited. | deposit_settlement_settle, deposit_settlement_rules | web tool · reference · skill |
Pricing: Try every tool free. Agents and software get a free tier of 20 calls a day, then $0.02 a call. Some tools will add paid features. Details: https://tektolo.com/pricing
Use it from your AI assistant
The MCP server is https://tektolo.com/mcp. It uses streamable HTTP and needs no account. For your own free allowance behind Claude's or ChatGPT's shared servers, get a personal connector URL at tektolo.com/connect-your-ai.
Claude Code: install the plugin, which bundles the skills and the MCP server:
claude plugin marketplace add tektolo/skills
claude plugin install tektolo@tektolo
Or connect only the server:
claude mcp add --transport http tektolo https://tektolo.com/mcp
Skills for any agent that reads SKILL.md (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot and others):
npx skills add tektolo/skills
Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code: add a custom connector with the URL above. Step-by-step instructions are at tektolo.com/connect-your-ai.
OpenClaw: both skills are also on ClawHub under @tektolo.
Use it over REST
Every MCP tool is also a plain JSON endpoint. contract/openapi.json describes them, and contract/catalog.json lists every operation with its schemas, pricing, privacy notes and ruleset hash. Request bodies that work are in examples/:
curl -sS https://tektolo.com/v1/deposit-settlement/settle \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d @examples/deposit-settlement/settle/california_carpet.json
