Switchboard Finance MCP server

Australian business loans for the self-employed. A remote MCP server that lets AI assistants check which business finance fits a situation — ATO debt, caveat loans, second mortgages, private lending after a bank decline, commercial property, development, equipment, truck and vehicle finance, invoice finance, overdrafts, bad credit, motels and pubs — and, with the owner's consent, request a callback from a licensed broker.

Run by Switchboard Finance Pty Ltd, Credit Representative 576702 of Australian Credit Licence 517192. General information only: no lender is named, nothing is a credit decision, offer or advice, and consumer loans are out of scope.
