Tolatam MCP server: Latin America data inside Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor

What is the Model Context Protocol?

What you can do with it

Once the server is connected, you can ask your assistant questions like the following and get answers grounded in real, current Tolatam data:

• "Compare visa requirements for digital nomads in Uruguay, Argentina and Mexico, and tell me which one leads to permanent residency the fastest."
• "What is the latest monthly inflation in Argentina according to INDEC, and how does it compare to the last twelve months?"
• "Build me a $2,000 / month budget for living in Montevideo, broken down by housing, food, transport and healthcare."
• "Which Latin American country has the best combination of low cost of living and easy visa for a retiree on $1,500 / month?"
• "Summarise the Uruguay Tax Holiday 2.0 — who qualifies, what changed, and what should I file with DGI in the first year?"
• "List every visa in your database that requires no minimum income and leads to permanent residency."
• "What is the current USD / UYU rate, and what are reference prices for a basic grocery basket in Uruguay?"
• "Walk me step-by-step through the Argentina residency process for 2026."

Available tools

The server registers seventeen tools, grouped below into fourteen entries (three list_*/get_* pairs share a row for brevity). Each tool returns JSON inside an MCP text content block; clients usually parse and surface the data automatically.

list_countries

All six covered countries with quantitative metrics (monthly cost in USD, visa difficulty, healthcare score, safety score, English level, minimum budget) and the list of detailed sections available per country.

get_country_section

Full prose content for one section of one country — overview, visa, banking, housing, taxes, healthcare, safety, or cost of living. Returns the same structured payload that drives the corresponding /countries page.

list_visas

Filterable index of every visa record (country, purpose, citizenship group). Useful for narrowing the search before a deep dive with get_visa.

get_visa

A single visa record: minimum income, processing time, duration, whether it leads to permanent residency, citizenship eligibility group, and highlights.

list_guides / get_guide

In-depth long-form guides: 2026 Argentina residency, digital-nomad visas across LatAm, the expat tax calendar, and how to open a bank account in the region.

list_blog_posts / get_blog_post

Article-format pieces, currently led by the Uruguay Tax Holiday 2.0 analysis with the eleven-year foreign-income exemption rules.

list_comparisons / get_comparison

Pre-written multi-country comparisons (Uruguay vs Argentina, Mexico vs Colombia, best for digital nomads, retirees, families, budget travellers).

compare_countries

Numeric side-by-side of any two countries from the registry, including computed deltas in cost, healthcare and safety scores.

get_cities

Curated city list for a country with cost index, climate, average temperature, safety, English level, population and highlights.

get_cost_of_living

Structured cost-of-living JSON (housing rent for 1BR/2BR/3BR, food, transport, utilities, healthcare, entertainment) in USD, for every country.

get_fx_rates

Latest USD / UYU exchange rate sourced from Banco Central del Uruguay.

get_argentina_inflation

Latest monthly and annual CPI variation from INDEC plus a twelve-month history.

get_uruguay_prices

Reference basket of common groceries in UYU collected from public sources.

search_content

Substring search across guides, blog posts, country sections, comparisons and visa records. Returns ranked hits with snippets so the model can decide what to fetch in full.

The endpoint is https://tolatam.com/mcp. It speaks Streamable HTTP (the modern MCP transport) and accepts plain JSON responses, so any client that supports remote MCP servers works out of the box.

    "mcpServers": {
        "tolatam": {
            "url": "https://tolatam.com/mcp"
        }
    }
}

        }
    }
}

Try it from the command line

You do not need an AI client to test the server. Any HTTP client speaks the protocol; here is a direct JSON-RPC call from curl that searches for "tax holiday" and asks for up to five hits.

curl -X POST https://tolatam.com/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "search_content",
      "arguments": { "query": "tax holiday", "limit": 5 }
    }
  }'

The response is a JSON-RPC 2.0 message whose result.content[0].text contains the ranked search hits as a JSON string. From there you can call get_blog_post or get_country_section to retrieve any hit in full.
