social-security-cola-2027-mcp
Social Security COLA 2027, full retirement age and 2027 limits for AI assistants. The COLA paid from January 2027 is 3.6 percent. Give a birth date and get the exact full retirement age month, the cut at 62 and the gain at 70.
This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Every amount is copied from the SSA notices in the Federal Register and from 20 CFR part 404. It needs no API key.
Tools
Every result has structured JSON, a one-paragraph summary, as_of, source (the Federal Register notice or the eCFR section) and more (a page on mcpstamp.com).
What it knows that your model does not
- The 2027 COLA (3.6 percent) and the 2027 amounts. SSA published them on 2026-10-26, after most models were trained.
- The full retirement age rules as written. A January 1 birthday counts as the year before. You reach an age the day before your birthday. Before full retirement age you must be 62 for the whole month, so most people start the month after they turn 62.
- The exact reduction and delayed-credit arithmetic with SSA rounding. The two worked examples in 20 CFR 404.410 and 404.313 are test fixtures.

Limitations
- It does not read your earnings record. Use your SSA statement for your PIA.
- The COLA increase from a net payment is an estimate within about a dollar, because SSA applies the COLA to the PIA before the Medicare premium is taken out.
- Spousal and survivor amounts are shown as percents only. Family maximum and disability benefits are not modeled.
- Yearly limits cover 2023 to 2027. COLA history covers 1996 to 2027.
