MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants like Claude connect to external data sources and call real tools.
This MCP server connects Claude — or any MCP-compatible AI — to ComparEdge: a database of 300+ SaaS products with pricing plans, G2 ratings, and feature comparisons.
Ask Claude things like "What's the cheapest CRM with a free tier?" and get live, structured answers pulled straight from comparedge.com.
Requirements: Node.js 18+

The server runs as a local process and communicates with Claude via JSON-RPC 2.0 over stdin/stdout — the MCP wire protocol. It fetches live data from the ComparEdge API and formats it for Claude to read.
Zero external npm dependencies. Pure Node.js built-ins only (https, readline).
All pricing and rating data comes from ComparEdge — updated regularly.
