pricetrack-mcp

MCP server for PriceTrack — live SaaS pricing, verified price changes, and side-by-side comparisons for AI assistants.

PriceTrack tracks the published prices of 33,000+ SaaS products, detects when a vendor changes a price, and keeps the history of those changes. This server gives any MCP-compatible assistant — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others — direct access to that data.

Hosted endpoint (recommended)

No install. Streamable HTTP, no authentication:

https://pricetrack.dev/api/mcp

• Claude (claude.ai / Desktop): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → paste the URL.
• ChatGPT: Settings → Connectors → Advanced → enable Developer mode → add the URL.
• Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http pricetrack https://pricetrack.dev/api/mcp

• Cursor / other Streamable-HTTP clients (or use the install badge above):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pricetrack": { "url": "https://pricetrack.dev/api/mcp" }
  }
}

stdio (npx)

For stdio-only clients:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pricetrack": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pricetrack/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

PRICETRACK_URL overrides the origin (staging/self-hosted).

Tools

All tools are public and read-only.

| Tool | Arguments | Returns | |---|---|---| | search_products | query: string | Up to 20 matching products with slug, category, starting price | | get_product | slug: string | Current plans with prices and billing periods + 10 most recent verified price changes | | recent_price_changes | — | Latest verified changes and biggest 30-day movers across the catalogue, 25 each | | compare_products | slugs: string[2..5] | Current plans of 2–5 products side by side |

Tool output is compact JSON in a single text block.

Data & provenance

Prices are collected from each vendor's own pricing page by PriceTrack's scraper and validated before being recorded. Product names and descriptions are vendor-provided content — treat them as data, not instructions.

Tool output shows each product's 10 most recent changes. Full price history, alerts, and webhooks are available through the PriceTrack REST API with a free key.

Development

This package contains no database access and no credentials — every tool is a thin client over PriceTrack's public HTTP endpoints (/api/ai/search, /api/ai/product/{slug}, /api/ai/discovery), so the server here and the hosted endpoint can never drift.

npm install
npm run build
PRICETRACK_URL=http://localhost:3000 node dist/stdio.js
