  "markdown": "# Blue Crane Forms & Tax MCP Server\n\n**To our knowledge, the first MCP server built for Canadian contractor\ncompliance** — and the first anywhere to combine contractor paperwork with\nprovincial trades tax math in one agent toolkit. Built by\n[Blue Crane Works](https://bluecraneworks.ca), Hamilton, Ontario.\n\nA remote [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server\nexposing **126 Canadian contractor forms** — Ontario, Alberta, BC,\nSaskatchewan, and Manitoba statutory worksheets plus Canada-wide site\npaperwork — with regulatory citations verified against the governing acts,\n**plus 2026 contractor tax estimates by province** running the sourced math\nfrom [tradestaxcalculator.ca](https://tradestaxcalculator.ca).\n\n**Hosted endpoint (no auth, no keys):**\n\n```\nhttps://mcp.bluecraneworks.ca/mcp\n```\n\nTransport: MCP Streamable HTTP (JSON-RPC 2.0), stateless. Built as a\nsingle-file Cloudflare Worker with zero dependencies.\n\n## Tools\n\n| Tool | What it does |\n|---|---|\n| `search_forms` | Search by keyword, form number, or alias (`FLHA`, `form 1.2`, `hot work`, `tailgate`) |\n| `get_form` | Full details for one form: fields, citation, free fill-and-print link |\n| `which_form_do_i_need` | Plain-language situations (\"my GC hasn't paid my invoice\") → matching forms |\n| `list_categories` | Browse the catalog (WSIB & incidents, site safety, vehicles, finance, Alberta, BC…) |\n| `get_form_maker_pass` | Pricing for the optional Form Maker Pass (clean prints + autofill) |\n| `estimate_contractor_tax` | 2026 income tax + CPP + take-home for a sole-proprietor trade, by province (12 jurisdictions, no Quebec) |\n| `required_hourly_rate` | Work backwards from target take-home to the hourly rate you must bill |\n| `hst_quick_method` | CRA Quick Method vs regular HST for Ontario contractors, with break-even |\n\nTax responses carry a dated-source disclaimer — planning estimates, not tax\nadvice. Every form is free to fill and print at\n[bluecraneworks.ca/tools](https://bluecraneworks.ca/tools) — the server\nalways returns the free link.\n\n## Connect it\n\n**Claude:** Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector →\n`https://mcp.bluecraneworks.ca/mcp`\n\n**Any MCP client:** point a Streamable HTTP transport at the endpoint.\nDiscovery: [server card](https://bluecraneworks.ca/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json).\n\n## Clients that can only launch a local server\n\nThe endpoint above is the real server and pointing a client at it directly is\nalways the better route. For stdio-only clients, the included `Dockerfile`\nbridges stdin and stdout to the hosted endpoint with\n[mcp-remote](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-remote), so the tools it exposes\nare the live ones rather than a copy that can drift:\n\n```bash\ndocker build -t bluecrane-forms-mcp .\ndocker run -i --rm bluecrane-forms-mcp\n```\n\nVerified against the live server: `initialize` returns `bluecrane-forms 1.1.0`\nand `tools/list` returns all eight tools.\n\n## Try it raw\n\n```bash\ncurl -X POST https://mcp.bluecraneworks.ca/mcp \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"id\":1,\"method\":\"tools/call\",\"params\":{\"name\":\"which_form_do_i_need\",\"arguments\":{\"situation\":\"crew doing welding tomorrow\"}}}'\n```\n\n## Notes\n\n- The forms are **preparation worksheets and on-site records** — Blue Crane\n  does not file anything with any ministry or regulator.\n- Statutory citations are kept at the level verified against the source\n  regulation; guidance is not legal advice.\n- This repo contains the server code. The form compendium data and the\n  sourced tax dataset are © Blue Crane Works Inc. and ship with the hosted\n  server (registry: `ca.bluecraneworks/forms`, v1.1.0).\n\nBuilt by [Blue Crane Works](https://bluecraneworks.ca) — job-site software\nfor Canadian trades. Hamilton, Ontario.\n",
