  "markdown": "# TopAlternativesTo MCP server\n\nGive your AI assistant verified software comparisons: pricing read from the\nvendor's own page and dated, and a ranked verdict on what to switch to.\n\nBacked by [TopAlternativesTo](https://topalternatives.to), an independent\nsoftware comparison site covering 360+ tools across 59 categories with 358\nranked alternatives guides.\n\nFree, read-only, no auth, no API key.\n\n## Install\n\n### Claude Code\n\n```bash\nclaude mcp add --transport http topalternativesto https://topalternatives.to/api/mcp/mcp\n```\n\n### Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code\n\nAdd the server to the client's MCP config:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"topalternativesto\": {\n      \"type\": \"http\",\n      \"url\": \"https://topalternatives.to/api/mcp/mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### stdio clients\n\nClients that only speak stdio can run this package, which proxies the hosted\nserver:\n\n```bash\nnpx topalternativesto-mcp\n```\n\n## Tools\n\n| Tool | Parameters | Returns |\n|---|---|---|\n| `search_tools` | `query`, `category`, `free_tier`, `max_price`, `limit` | Filtered catalogue. Matches on name, category, tagline and features, best match first |\n| `get_tool` | `slug` | One tool in full: what it is, pricing with the vendor page it was read from and the date, who it suits and who it does not |\n| `get_alternatives` | `slug` | The ranked alternatives, with the verdict on which one fits which kind of buyer |\n\nEvery response carries the page URL, so the full reasoning and the date it was\nchecked stay one click away.\n\n## What you can ask\n\n- \"What should we move to instead of Zendesk? We are eight people.\"\n- \"Find project management tools with a free plan under $15 a seat.\"\n- \"What does Notion actually cost, and when was that checked?\"\n\n## About the data\n\nPricing is read from each vendor's own pricing page, and every price is\nreturned with that source URL and the date it was checked. Treat it as the\nvendor's list price on that date rather than as live pricing; enterprise\npricing is negotiated.\n\nThe catalogue and the method behind it are documented at\n[topalternatives.to/methodology](https://topalternatives.to/methodology).\nThere is also a [REST API](https://topalternatives.to/developers) for bulk\naccess, and [full MCP docs](https://topalternatives.to/mcp).\n\n## Licence\n\nCode MIT. The data is CC BY 4.0: reuse it, including commercially, with a\nvisible link back to [topalternatives.to](https://topalternatives.to).\n",
