CompShop does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 63.0% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 7

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

vendors

list_vendors_by_industry

List every CompShop vendor that publishes surveys for a given industry. Use when the user asks 'what survey publishers cover [industry]?'

list_vendors_by_region

List vendors with survey coverage in a given region. Use when the user asks 'what publishers cover [region]?' Region is matched against both vendor-level scope and individual report scopes.

recommend

recommend_surveys

Recommend the best-fit compensation surveys given a hiring/benchmarking context. Use when the user asks 'what survey should I use for [situation]?' Returns ranked vendors with rationale. Required: industry. Optional: region, role focus.

report

get_report

Detailed info on a single survey report by slug.

search

Free-text search across the CompShop directory of compensation surveys. Returns matching vendors, reports, job families, and positions. Use for open-ended discovery questions like 'biotech surveys in Europe' or 'CEO compensation data'.

surveys

find_surveys_for_position

Find compensation surveys that benchmark a specific job title or position (e.g. 'Software Engineer', 'CPA', 'Sr Acct', 'head of finance'). Combines literal title matching with embedding-based semantic similarity, so abbreviations and paraphrases work — 'CPA' returns 'Certified Public Accountant', 'Sr Acct' returns 'Senior Accountant'. Reports per position are ranked to surface broad-coverage surveys (general-industry, US scope) before niche cuts.

vendor

get_vendor

Detailed info on a specific vendor by slug, including all of their reports. Use after `search` or `list_vendors_by_industry` returns a candidate.

CompShop — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can CompShop do?

It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_surveys_for_position, get_report, get_vendor, list_vendors_by_industry, list_vendors_by_region, recommend_surveys and 1 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is CompShop working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 55 of 92 checks got a reply (59.8%), average response time 253 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Is CompShop still maintained?

The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.

The registry lists CompShop as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect CompShop?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does CompShop need an API key?

No. CompShop completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is CompShop?

It answers our handshake in 253 ms on average, which is faster than 54% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
