cal

A local MCP server that connects coding agents to Cal, an AI mortgage platform. MCP is a standard way for an AI tool to access capabilities and information from another service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to access Cal's lender library, down-payment-assistance programs, lender information, ValueGuard valuations, and authoritative loan-limit and fee facts.
Why use it?
It gives a compatible coding agent access to Cal's mortgage information without requiring the agent to maintain that data itself. It requires a Cal API token for authentication.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Grade A, and why

cal scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
