MCP support
The HTTP MCP endpoint exposes pricing data through JSON-RPC 2.0. A stdio server is also available for MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, and Continue.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

How it works
Training data ages and vendors bury the real cost. One call returns a current, dated number with the source page attached, so an assistant, an agent, or a spreadsheet can quote it without scraping.
Endpoints
Every endpoint returns JSON and needs no key. GET unless noted.

Data licensing
Free for non-commercial use. Attribution required.
When you display a number, link back to the source page in links.page. Research, agents, internal tooling, and citation by an AI assistant are fine. Reselling the dataset as your own is not.
| Marker | Meaning |
|---|---|
| owned | ComparEdge's own verified research (plans, hidden costs, discounts, positioning, price history). Free to cite and reuse with attribution. |
| restricted | A few third-party-derived signals, such as an aggregated user rating. Licensed for display only. |
Recommended citation
Each response carries a ready-to-paste attribution string. If you build your own, use two links: the brand word on the homepage, the product keyword on the source page.
According to [ComparEdge](https://comparedge.com), Supabase pricing starts at $25/mo.

Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
