JohnKenley

MCP facade over reviewed Australian computational accounting engines. Compatible with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Antigravity.

[!WARNING] Not tax advice. This server returns structured results, refusals, and citations. It does not lodge, and it does not replace a registered agent. See DISCLAIMER.md.

This server does not reimplement tax law. Payday Super and ATO small-business benchmarks are delegated to:

• CharlesHenryWickens (payday-super-checker)
• RaymondChambers (ato-benchmark-compare)

Division 7A is refused until a reviewed engine exists. SBR payloads are synthetic fixtures, not lodgments.

Install

Python 3.10+ and uv. The engines install from GitHub because they are not on PyPI, so the one-command path is uvx from this repository:

uvx --from git+https://github.com/ryanduguid/JohnKenley aus-accounting-mcp

Clone and pip install . still works when you want a local editable tree.

Client integration

Standard config works with hosts that run a local stdio MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aus-accounting": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/ryanduguid/JohnKenley",
        "aus-accounting-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Ready-made copies live in clients/.

Cursor

Or drop the standard config into ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

Claude Desktop

Paste the standard config into claude_desktop_config.json (%APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS).

Claude Code

claude mcp add aus-accounting -- uvx --from git+https://github.com/ryanduguid/JohnKenley aus-accounting-mcp

Codex

codex mcp add aus-accounting -- uvx --from git+https://github.com/ryanduguid/JohnKenley aus-accounting-mcp

Tools

Tool	Job	Engine
list_ato_benchmark_industries	List or search the shipped ATO business types	ato-benchmark-compare
get_ato_benchmarks	Compare operator-supplied bucket totals to ATO ranges	ato-benchmark-compare
calc_payday_super_deadline	Review one contribution against Payday Super timing	payday-super-checker
refuse_div7a	Returns a refusal. No reviewed Div 7A engine is wired	none
generate_synthetic_sbr_fixture	Synthetic CTR/BAS for agent tests (synthetic: true)	local fixture

calc_payday_super_deadline requires as_at. It does not invent clearing-house latency and cannot confirm LCR 2026/1 transition allocation. A remittance date alone cannot produce ON_TIME. Omitted ATO expense buckets are not_supplied, not zero.

Amounts are decimal strings, finite, at most two decimal places, and no greater than AUD 1,000,000,000,000.00. Dates are ISO-8601. Payday Super uses payday-super-checker's national SGAA 1992 s 6(1) calendar.

Ask the agent:

Compare these P&L buckets to the ATO small-business benchmarks for this industry. Omit buckets I have not supplied. Do not treat missing as zero.

Review this Payday Super contribution. QE day, remitted date, and fund-receipt date are in the CSV. as_at is today. Do not invent an SGC charge.
