Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server giving Dutch living-cost answers: rent points and legal maximum rent, car data by number plate, city budgets, and current official figures.

What you can do
  • Look up a Dutch-registered car by number plate: make, model, fuel, CO2, weight, APK due date, insurance and company-car tax addition
  • Check a rental home's points under the Dutch points system, its rental sector and the legal maximum basic rent
  • Estimate what is left each month in a Dutch city: net salary, typical rent, health insurance, energy and municipal charges
  • Retrieve current Dutch amounts that change yearly, such as healthcare deductible, child benefit and passport fees, with period and official source
When to use it
Useful when someone asks practical questions about living in the Netherlands: whether a rent is legal, what a used car costs in tax, or what a monthly budget in a given city looks like. It is aimed at general orientation, not binding decisions.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint over streamable HTTP; no package, account, API key or environment variable is declared. Network access to the provider's endpoint is needed.
Before you install
Results are estimates and general information, not legal advice; the server points users to the official body for binding decisions. Figures are stated for 2026 and should be checked against the cited sources. Questions and arguments are sent to the provider's remote service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Living in the Netherlands in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/nl.nltaxcalculator%2Fliving-nl/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

car_by_plate

Dutch car lookup by number plate (RDW)

Looks up a Dutch-registered car by its number plate (kenteken) in the official RDW register: make, model, first registration, fuel, CO2 emission, catalogue price, empty weight, when the periodic inspection (APK) is due and whether it is insured. With a taxable income it also gives the company car tax (bijtelling) for 2026, including the electric-car rate locked for 60 months from first registration. Live data from RDW Open Data.

Parametersplaterequiredtaxable_income

monthly_budget_by_city

Monthly budget in a Dutch city: net pay minus rent and fixed costs

What is left each month in a Dutch city: net salary (2026 tax, optional 30% ruling and holiday allowance) minus a typical unregulated-sector rent for the home size in that city, the basic health insurance premium (less any healthcare allowance), an average energy bill and the municipal charges for a renter. Cities with their own figures: Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Haarlem, The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Eindhoven, Helmond, Leeuwarden, Zwolle; any other city uses the national average rent and leaves out municipal charges. Food, transport, internet and water board charges are not included.

nl_current_facts

Current Dutch figures with their source (2026)

Current Dutch amounts that change every year, each with the period it applies to and its official source, so an answer does not rely on outdated knowledge. Topics: health_deductible (Healthcare deductible (eigen risico)), child_benefit (Child benefit (kinderbijslag)), passport_id_fees (Passport and identity card fees), ind_fees (IND application fees (residence permits and naturalisation)), rent_limits (Rent limits and maximum rent increases), minimum_wage (Minimum wage (wettelijk minimumloon)). Ask by topic, or with a short question. For income tax figures use the tax server's dutch_tax_figures tool.

rent_points_check

Dutch rent points check: legal maximum rent and allowed increase

For a rented independent home (zelfstandige woning: own front door, kitchen and toilet) in the Netherlands: from its points under the points system (woningwaarderingsstelsel, WWS), the rental sector (social up to 143 points, regulated mid-rent up to 186, free sector above), the legal maximum basic monthly rent (kale huur) for 2026, whether a current rent is above it, and the maximum yearly rent increase for that sector. The points come from the government's Huurprijscheck on huurcommissie.nl. Rooms (onzelfstandige woonruimte) use a different table and are not covered.
