Switchboard Finance MCP server

• check_fitFree

  Checks whether an Australian business owner's finance need is something Switchboard Finance, a licensed finance broker, can help with, and which finance types fit. Covers ATO or tax debt, bank declines, caveat and second mortgages, private and commercial property loans, development, equipment and vehicles, invoice finance, overdrafts, bad credit and going-concern businesses such as motels. With amount, property value, timing and trading history it also checks loan size, LVR and time to fund against observed ranges, and returns documents usually needed, deal-breakers and an expected callback time. Example: {"purpose":"clear a $180k ATO debt this week","security":"warehouse worth $1.2M, $400k owing","amount":180000,"property_value":1200000,"existing_debt":400000}. General information, not a credit decision or advice.
