RemodelerIQ MCP Server
Let AI agents check whether a home-remodeling contractor's bid is fair — and answer "how much should this cost?" — using RemodelerIQ's live data (BLS labor wages, Zonda Cost vs. Value benchmarks, contract-risk analysis).
Hosted, no install. Streamable-HTTP endpoint:

Example
"Is a $48,000 kitchen remodel with a 50% upfront deposit and a 'cabinets allowance TBD' line fair in Texas?"
The agent calls analyze_bid → gets a low confidence score and flags: high deposit, undefined cost exposure (open allowance), missing license/permit references — plus talk-tracks to push back.
