Remote MCP
Ask an AI client to use Project SOR
Project SOR is a source-backed Schedule of Reductions calculation engine available through Excel, the web, a REST API, and a remote MCP server. The same tested engine supports detailed staff workflows, student-friendly estimates, AI-assisted scenario intake, stateless scenario comparison, and approved V55 versus V56 migration review.
Add https://sor.myproduct.life/mcp as a remote MCP server in a client that supports custom MCP connections.
Include award year, program level, grade level, dependency, loan-period scope, academic-year structure, credits, need, COA, other aid, and paid history when relevant.
The server returns gross eligibility, net display amounts, calculation stages, warnings, modeled checks, external checks, release metadata, and public citations. Phase B also supports compare_sor for two complete cases and advanced_student_estimate for institution-specific projections.
The calculator does not invent required facts or silently use demonstration defaults. An incomplete request returns the exact missing inputs and a short list of follow-up questions. The AI client can ask for those facts and call the tool again. Streamable HTTP clients should send Accept: application/json, text/event-stream and retain the session identifier returned during initialization. Parent PLUS aggregate usage and remaining eligibility remain school-side checks.
Good fit
- Staff scenario intake and explanation
- Fixture replay and implementation comparison
- Plain-language walkthroughs of modeled results
- Compare two complete scenarios with
compare_sor - Run an institution-specific projection with
advanced_student_estimate
Still requires school review
- NSLDS aggregate and lifetime eligibility
- COD origination and disbursement processing
- R2T4, traditional proration, and institution-specific policy
- Final award, posting, refund, and compliance decisions
Project SOR is independent decision support. It is not an official Department of Education publication, Department endorsement, or a substitute for current federal guidance and school review.
