NestPilot now works inside Claude

The Foundation's four free retirement-decision tools now work inside Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant. Ask your question in plain English and Claude uses the same anonymous, math-backed tools that run on this website.

This is the second assistant we reach, after ChatGPT. Same mission, same math, one more place people already are.

How to add it

Full walkthrough: Use NestPilot in Claude.

For most people it is one paste. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors, choose Add custom connector, and enter:

https://mcp.nestpilot.org/mcp

That is the whole setup. Nothing to download, no key to enter, no NestPilot account.

Which Claude plans can do this? Anthropic's documentation states that custom connectors are available on the Free, Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans — so a paid subscription is not required. One limit worth knowing before you start: free accounts can hold one custom connector at a time. If you already use one, you would need to swap it. Team and Enterprise accounts are usually set up by an administrator rather than by each member.

If you use Claude's developer tools — Claude Code or Cowork — there is also an installable plugin that adds two guided walkthroughs on top of the tools. Those commands are on the Use NestPilot in Claude page.

A note on how you find it. Unlike our ChatGPT app, NestPilot is not listed in an in-product Claude directory today. You add it by pasting the address above. We would rather say that plainly than have you search a directory for something that is not there yet.

The four decisions it answers

Each one wraps the same calculation you will find at www.nestpilot.org/tools:

  • Medicare enrollment timing — the enrollment windows that close, the penalties that lock in for life, and your exposure to income-based premium surcharges. See the Medicare Enrollment Guardian on the web.
  • Social Security claiming age — what the benefit looks like at 62, at full retirement age, and at 70, with the breakeven point in view. See the public claiming-age tool.
  • Roth conversion window — whether your household is a strong, moderate, or weak conversion candidate, and what a year of conversion costs against what it saves. See the Roth conversion assessment.
  • Retirement-age viability — candidate retirement ages compared, with portfolio runway and the healthcare-bridge gap before 65. See the retirement-age viability tool.

Ask in your own words. "Can I afford to retire at 62?" is a perfectly good way to start.

Same posture as everywhere else

NestPilot inside Claude keeps the commitments it keeps on this website:

  • Anonymous. No NestPilot account, no sign-in, no bank login, and no personally identifying information collected by the Foundation.
  • Nothing is sold. No financial products, no commissions, no advisor referrals, no donate-to-unlock. The 501(c)(3) operating commitments apply unchanged.
  • Same math. The tools call the same Foundation backend the web tools call. There is no second engine and no different answer.
  • Open methodology. Every calculation cites primary sources — SSA.gov, Medicare.gov, IRS.gov — exactly as the web tools do.

This is a distribution change, not a product change.

What you can do today

  • Add the connector — paste the address above, then ask a real question.
  • Use the tools on the web — they live at www.nestpilot.org/tools and stay free, anonymous, and account-free.
  • Prefer ChatGPT? The NestPilot ChatGPT app has been live since June.
  • Tell someone. If you know a pre-retiree approaching 65, the enrollment-timing decision is the one where a single missed window costs real money for the rest of their life.

Why this matters for the mission

The hard part of retirement-decision literacy was never the arithmetic. It is reach — being present at the moment someone is actually deciding, without an incentive riding on the answer.

Every assistant we reach removes one more "go learn a new website" step between a person and a neutral answer. A 501(c)(3) public charity, distributing free anonymous decision support inside the assistants people already use, with nothing to sell them: that is the charter working as intended.
