Description
Calculate and compare indicative UK building-work budgets from supplied scope using Proper Job.
What our measurements say
Proper Job is a remote MCP server published at www.proper-job.uk. It has been probed 8 times since 9/12/2026. It answered in 8 of them (100.0%), a near-uninterrupted record. Median response time is 546 ms, a delay an agent will notice. It offers a narrow, focused set of 3 tools. On the protocol side it still runs 2025-11-25 and has not moved to the newer spec.
Agent readability score
Can an LLM agent pick the right tool here — names, descriptions and parameter clarity are assessed.
Agent readability score
Strengths
- Third tool (compare_guide_scenarios) has clear required parameters for scenario comparison.
- Descriptions explain use cases for each tool (requirements gathering, price calculation, scenario comparison).
Weaknesses
- First two tools (get_estimate_requirements, calculate_guide_price) have all optional parameters, making input expectations unclear.
- Overlapping parameters (country, jobType, postcode) between tools may confuse agents about which tool to use.
- No explicit error handling or constraint documentation in tool descriptions.
get_estimate_requirements— All parameters are optional, but no guidance on minimum required inputs for meaningful results.calculate_guide_price— Overlapping parameters with get_estimate_requirements may cause tool selection ambiguity.compare_guide_scenarios— No mention of validation rules for baseline/scenario object structure.

Tools
Tools the server advertised in the latest measurement — measured, not catalog-claimed.
get_estimate_requirementsUse this when a homeowner, builder or residential architect wants to plan a UK or US residential extension, addition, conversion, kitchen, bathroom, remodel, studio or new-home budget but required details may be missing. Returns country-specific choices and concise questions. No account or saved project is required. Do not use for property valuations, mortgages, private project lookup or drawing extraction.
countrystringjobTypestringpostcodeAreastringstatestringzipCodestringscopeobject
calculate_guide_priceUse this when the user has supplied enough scope to calculate a free indicative UK or US residential building-cost range with Proper Job's country-specific engine. Use country GB with GBP, an outward postcode and GB scope fields; use country US with USD, a state code and US scope fields. Never send fields from both country schemas. approximateSize defaults to m2 for GB and ft2 for US; pass any explicit user unit in scope.areaUnit so m2 and ft2 are converted safely. Use only conversation inputs. Missing details return needs_input; ask rather than guessing. Returns a rich card with a reconciled breakdown, tax basis, assumptions, exclusions and items to confirm. Repeated calculations are free. Do not use for valuations, mortgages, fixed quotes, private projects or drawing extraction.

compare_guide_scenariosUse this when the user wants to compare the size, scope or finish of the same UK or US residential building project. Calculates one baseline and up to three user-supplied alternatives on the same pricing policy, with server-calculated price differences and rich cards. Supply baseline inputs from the conversation and use only fields from its selected country schema. Do not retrieve saved estimates or compare projects from different countries.
