      <title>I made 121 calculators callable by AI agents (MCP) — and embeddable in any blog</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Most calculator sites give you a number and hide the math. I wanted the&lt;br&gt;
opposite: calculators you can trust, call from code, and drop into your own&lt;br&gt;
pages. Here's how CalcFleet is put together and how you can embed one.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  One function, three surfaces
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each calculator is a single tested pure function with a Zod schema. From that&lt;br&gt;
one source it ships as:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a free web page (SSG),&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;a JSON REST API: &lt;code&gt;POST /api/v1/tools/&amp;lt;slug&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt;,&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;an MCP tool, so an AI agent can call the same math.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The AI never does the arithmetic — it only routes a plain-English question to&lt;br&gt;
the right tool. ~2,300 tests back the formulas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Embed one in your own post
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Every tool has an "Embed this calculator" snippet. For example, a mortgage&lt;br&gt;
overpayment calculator:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight html"&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;span class="nt"&gt;&amp;lt;iframe&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="na"&gt;src=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;"https://calcfleet.com/widget/mortgage-overpayment-calculator"&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="na"&gt;width=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;"100%"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="na"&gt;height=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;"720"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="na"&gt;loading=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;"lazy"&lt;/span&gt;
  &lt;span class="na"&gt;style=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;"border:1px solid #e4e0d6;border-radius:12px"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nt"&gt;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/iframe&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nt"&gt;&amp;lt;p&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="na"&gt;style=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;"font-size:14px"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nt"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;Calculator by
  &lt;span class="nt"&gt;&amp;lt;a&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="na"&gt;href=&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="s"&gt;"https://calcfleet.com/mortgage/mortgage-overpayment-calculator"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nt"&gt;&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;CalcFleet&lt;span class="nt"&gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Let an agent call one (MCP, free)
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The whole fleet is exposed as an MCP server, so an AI assistant can call any&lt;br&gt;
calculator as a tool — same tested math, no arithmetic done by the model:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="highlight js-code-highlight"&gt;
&lt;pre class="highlight plaintext"&gt;&lt;code&gt;https://calcfleet.com/api/mcp
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Point an MCP-compatible client at that endpoint and every calculator shows up&lt;br&gt;
as a callable tool (the tool name is the slug with dashes as underscores).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For a plain REST API (metered, via RapidAPI) and full request/response&lt;br&gt;
schemas, see &lt;a href="https://calcfleet.com/developers" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://calcfleet.com/developers&lt;/a&gt;. There's also an &lt;code&gt;llms.txt&lt;/code&gt; at&lt;br&gt;
the root that lists every tool for AI engines. The site's at&lt;br&gt;
&lt;a href="https://calcfleet.com" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://calcfleet.com&lt;/a&gt; — the web calculators are all free, no signup.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What calculator would you actually embed? I'll build the ones people ask for.&lt;/p&gt;
