The ApexLogics catalog, inside your AI assistant
Connect the ApexLogics MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible host and work with the career and education catalog without leaving the conversation — ranked and full-catalog search tools cover all 168 tools with deep-link URLs, a server-side runner executes multi-tool chains with verifiable execution hashes, and a workflow builder chains tools into multi-step analyses.
Connect in under a minute
The server speaks standard MCP over Streamable HTTP with no authentication, so any MCP host can connect with just the URL.
- Claude — Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste
https://mcp.apexlogics.org/mcp. No OAuth prompt; it connects immediately. - ChatGPT (developer mode) — Settings → Connectors → Create → server URL
https://mcp.apexlogics.org/mcp, no authentication. - Any other MCP client — point a
streamable-httptransport at the endpoint.
Then just ask — "what tools help with student loan strategy?", "build a workflow for evaluating a job offer", or "find career pivot tools". The server returns direct links to the relevant calculators so you can open them in one click and run the numbers yourself.
The 6 tools
All six tools carry readOnlyHint: true — nothing mutates state, nothing writes anywhere. find_tool ranks the catalog for one specific calculator; find_chain ranks multi-tool decision journeys; run_chain executes a matched chain server-side with a verifiable composite hash; verify_execution_hash independently recomputes any artifact's hash; list_apexlogics_tools returns the full unranked catalog; build_workflow_links returns deep-link URLs for named workflow pages.
| Tool name | What it does |
|---|---|
| Discovery | |
| find_tool | Ranked BM25 search over the 168-tool catalog for ONE specific calculator answering a single question — e.g. "ISO AMT exposure", "teacher pension estimate". Returns best-matching tools with URLs and Policy Mandate types, most relevant first. |
| find_chain | Ranked BM25 search over the OpenChainGraph chains — multi-tool decision journeys — for a MULTI-STEP goal spanning several tools, e.g. "plan a career pivot", "equity exit and 83(b)". Returns matching chains with their ordered steps, most relevant first. |
| Execution & verification | |
| run_chain | Execute a named ChainGraph chain server-side (OpenChainGraph §21). Runs each kernel-backed step deterministically, threads each step's execution_hash into the next step's parent_hashes, and folds the outputs into one composite artifact with a reproducible composite_execution_hash. Zero network, zero PII. |
| verify_execution_hash | Independently recompute and verify a Policy Mandate artifact's SHA-256 execution_hash (OpenChainGraph §4) — confirms an artifact wasn't tampered with after export. |
| Catalog & workflows | |
| list_apexlogics_tools | Search the full ApexLogics catalog (168 client-side tools). Accepts an optional query keyword, category slug filter, and limit (max 50). Returns tool titles, descriptions, direct URLs, and Policy Mandate types. Categories: education_path_roi, compensation_offers, career_transition_mobility, licensing_credentials, student_finance_debt, workforce_development, immigration_visa, selected_studies, hr_analytics, obbba_student_loans, equity_tax, freelance_tax. |
| build_workflow_links | Return ordered, deep-link URLs for a named multi-tool workflow chain (40 chains — e.g. new-offer-suite, mba-aspirant-playbook, equity-compensation-decisions, student-loan-payoff-decisions) with handoff notes describing which outputs feed the next step. Call with no argument to list all available chains. |
40 multi-step analyses
build_workflow_links returns ordered, deep-link URLs for 40 named multi-tool chains. Each step includes the tool URL and a handoff note describing which outputs to carry forward. Ask by chain ID — e.g. "build workflow links for mba-aspirant-playbook" — or call with no argument to list all chains.

Tools that export Policy Mandates can pass their output directly to the next tool in a chain via the ?ap2= URL parameter. The mandate travels in the URL — it is never transmitted to a server — and the destination tool pre-fills from it automatically. All 168 tools are zero-network after page load.
