ComparEdge MCP Server
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.
Install
Add one block to your client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"comparedge": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@comparedge/mcp-server@latest"]
}
}
}Claude Desktop keeps this file at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.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.
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:
