Use Worth Leaving from your AI assistant
Worth Leaving is a connector for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any other assistant that speaks MCP. Paste an offer letter into the chat; the assistant sends the terms to the engine and reads you back what leaving forfeits, the number an offer has to beat, and the verdict. The assistant never does the money math.
Connector URL: https://worthleaving.com/api/mcp
What you get
- Walk-away verdict: what leaving on your date forfeits, the next vest worth waiting for, the number an offer has to beat before tax, when leaving costs least over the next two years, the asks your grants support, and the verdict with its after-tax, after-housing gain when there is an offer.
- Market base pay check: what a role and level earns in a US metro, from public US government data, with the source and its date. Base pay only, and it never changes the verdict.

Agents that can only send JSON
POST the same terms to https://worthleaving.com/api/verdict as { "input": { ... } }, and the market check to https://worthleaving.com/api/market-check. The field names are the ones the connector advertises.
What to paste
The letter’s own terms: base, bonus, the grant’s shares or dollar value, grant date, term, cliff, cadence or the per-year percentages as written, the metro, and the date you would leave. Say when the company is private and how much you trust its valuation. If there is no offer yet, say so; the engine still answers.
What leaves your chat
The terms, for one calculation, answered in the same call. Nothing is stored: the only record is an anonymous count that a call happened and, for a rejected input, which field was wrong. The share link the assistant returns carries rounded bands only. The privacy page has the specifics.
FAQ
Can Claude or ChatGPT calculate my walk-away cost?
Yes, once Worth Leaving is added as a connector. The assistant sends the offer letter's own terms to the connector and relays the engine's numbers: what leaving on a date forfeits, the next vest worth waiting for, the number an offer has to beat, and the verdict when there is an offer.
Does the assistant do the math itself?
No. Every dollar comes from the same deterministic engine the calculator on this site runs. The connector's instructions tell the assistant never to compute vest dates or totals, and to call again rather than scale a figure when a price, date or term changes.
What happens to my offer letter?
The terms you give the assistant are sent to the connector for one calculation and answered in the same call. Nothing is stored: the only record is an anonymous count that a call happened and, if the input was rejected, which field was wrong. The share link the assistant returns carries rounded bands only, never exact figures.
What if I have no offer yet?
Leave the offer out. The connector answers with what staying pays over the next year before tax, which any offer has to beat, what leaving on your date would forfeit, when leaving costs least over the next two years, and the asks your grant structure supports.
Prefer to do it here? The calculator asks the same questions, runs the same engine, and keeps your numbers in this browser.
