Crypto-Tax Comparison

The user provided: $ARGUMENTS

Live Polystate MCP (preferred)

When polystate MCP is connected:

• Two countries: call tax_compare with { "country1": "<ISO>", "country2": "<ISO>" } (both required in the API).
• One country: call get_crypto_tax_treatment with { "country": "<ISO>" } — the tax_compare tool requires two countries.

If MCP succeeds, format the JSON for the user. If it fails or MCP is offline, use embedded ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/data/crypto-tax.json below.
