⚠️ Limitations
Source material provides limited readme content; sections reflect available data
No detailed API schema or endpoint examples in the excerpt
Tool-specific behaviors not described in depth in the provided data
Your assistant already knows what Notion is. It does not know that Notion Plus costs $12 a seat this month, or that the tool you are evaluating quietly dropped its free plan in spring. Training data ages; prices move. This server closes that gap with verified pricing, plans, ratings and alternatives for 494 SaaS and AI tools, checked against vendor pages before they ship. Live docs and examples: comparedge.com/mcp.
Zero dependencies, no API key, no account. Works in Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code and any other MCP client.
Claude Desktop keeps this file at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Cursor: Settings, then MCP, then Add Server. VS Code with Copilot reads .vscode/mcp.json. Per-client walkthroughs live in the setup guide.
What you can ask
Once connected, questions like these stop producing guesses and start producing verified numbers:
How much does Slack cost for a team of 40 on annual billing?
Find me a CRM under $20 per user that still has a real free plan.
I want to leave Salesforce. What do people switch to, and what does the move cost?
Which AI coding assistants are top rated right now?
Compare Notion and Coda plan by plan.
Tools
Eight tools, each a read-only lookup against the catalog.
Tool
Returns
Params
search_tools
products matching a name, keyword or use case
query, limit?
get_tool
full profile for one product
slug
get_pricing
every plan with price, period and features, plus trial and free-plan status
slug
compare_tools
two products side by side: pricing, features, ratings
tool1, tool2
get_alternatives
top alternatives in the same category, ranked by rating
slug, limit?
list_category
all tools in one category with a pricing overview

get_leaderboard

category?, limit?
list_categories
all 44 category slugs with display names
none
Products are addressed by slug: notion, github-copilot, screaming-frog. When in doubt, search_tools first. Category slugs double as public pages a human can open, for example the LLM category hub. LLM entries carry per-token API pricing on top of the plan data.
Prompts
Four workflows ship as prompts your client can expose as slash commands:
Prompt
Args
What it runs
find_best_tool
use_case
searches the catalog, prices the top matches, returns a ranked pick
compare_pricing
tool_a, tool_b
plan-by-plan price comparison
evaluate_tool
tool
profile, verified pricing and top alternatives in one pass
The catalog is maintained by ComparEdge. Every price traces to the vendor's own pricing page, harvested from the live DOM and re-verified on a rolling schedule; each record carries its verification date. The pipeline is documented in the methodology, and the full catalog ships as an open dataset under CC BY 4.0. If a tool is not a fit, the alternatives hub covers switch paths for the whole catalog.
