Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf

Add to the client's MCP config (Cursor: ~/.cursor/mcp.json; Claude Desktop: Settings → Developer → Edit Config):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "front-desk-review": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcp.frontdeskreview.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code (GitHub Copilot agent)

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "front-desk-review": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.frontdeskreview.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity (no config file)

These add a remote server from their own settings — nothing to install, and no directory listing required. Paste the endpoint above and leave authentication set to None.

• Claude — Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the URL.
• ChatGPT — Settings → Connectors → add a custom MCP connector with the URL (Developer Mode).
• Perplexity — Settings → Connectors → “+ Custom connector” → Remote → name it, paste the URL, Authentication: None.

Any MCP-capable client works — point it at the Streamable HTTP endpoint above. Machine-readable manifest: server.json · server card: server-card.

What your assistant can ask

19 tools. Examples: “cheapest CRM with a free tier”, “normalize Aircall vs Dialpad at 500 calls/mo”, “which GPU under $600 has the most VRAM”.

list_sections

Every software/SaaS pricing theme covered, with slug, label and vendor count.

search_vendors

Free-text search across a theme's vendors — names, domains, integrations, plan notes, capabilities.

compare

Named vendors side by side within a theme, full sourced records.

get_normalized_pricing

Effective monthly cost at a chosen volume, with flat, per-minute and per-call billing reduced to one comparable number.

get_benchmark

One vendor's card: entry price, cost at reference volumes, compliance, free tier, integration breadth.

find_best

“Cheapest X with a free tier / HIPAA / SOC 2 / GDPR” — ranked, and never on an unverified claim.

list_coverage

What the index covers, how many vendors, over what date range — and what it does not cover.

whats_changed

Recent price changes, each dated and corroborated by two sources.

get_price_history

The full dated price series for one product or vendor, plus archived points read off Internet Archive snapshots.

price_movers

What moved most recently across a category or the whole index.

volatility_for_entity

How much one product's price actually moves — withheld rather than guessed when the record is too thin.

most_volatile_in_category

The least stable prices in a category, ranked.

list_product_categories

Every hardware category, with product counts, comparable spec keys and brands.

search_products

Free-text search inside a hardware category across names, brands and spec values.

compare_products

Named products lined up on the spec keys that category actually compares on.

find_products

“Best under $N” or “most <spec>” — filter and rank by price, release date or any spec.

get_independent_test_coverage

How many independent labs measured a product, and what they measured — a count of evidence, never a rating.

list_cost_decoders

Which categories have a cost decoder explaining what actually drives the bill.

get_cost_decoder

The drivers behind a category's real cost, so a quoted price can be read properly.

No MCP client? Use the REST API or a GPT

The same sourced data is a plain read-only JSON API — no key, CORS-open — callable from any HTTP client, agent framework, automation tool, or a ChatGPT custom GPT.

curl "https://mcp.frontdeskreview.com/api/v1/best?section=crm-software&requireFreeTier=true"
curl "https://mcp.frontdeskreview.com/api/v1/products/find?category=laptops&maxPriceUsd=1000"

Build a ChatGPT GPT: in the GPT editor → Actions → Import, paste the OpenAPI URL mcp.frontdeskreview.com/openapi.json. Your GPT can then answer pricing/spec questions from our verified, dated data.

Why connect it

• Cited, not guessed. Every record returns source.url + accessedAt, so your agent can attribute any figure. Quote-only vendors return null, never an invented price.
• Current. Prices are re-verified and dated; whats_changed surfaces recent two-source-corroborated moves a base model can't know.
• Neutral. We are not a vendor or reseller. Payment never affects ranking or the data. How we make money.
