cityparity MCP server
Cost-of-living and quality-of-life comparison tools that AI agents can call. Point an agent at two cities and it returns take-home pay, a full cost breakdown, the equivalent salary you'd need in the target city, and the non-cash deltas people actually move for: vacation, parental leave, universal healthcare.

What it covers
About 165 cities across 69 countries. Most calculators stop at salary and rent. cityparity prices the social safety net (childcare subsidies, parental leave, statutory vacation, universal healthcare), so "the lower-salary city actually pays more" stops being a hand-wave and becomes a number.
