The Front Desk Review is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 19 tools, among them compare, compare_products, find_best. It answers at https://mcp.frontdeskreview.com/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 10 of 10 times since 5 September 2026; the last check, on 18 October 2026, succeeded.
4,764 products, 626 categories: sourced prices, dated price history, independent-test coverage.
Description as the publisher wrote it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
compare | Compare specific vendors side by side by slug within any theme (e.g. ['goodcall','rosie','smith-ai'] in ai-receptionists, or ['nordvpn','expressvpn'] in vpn-services). Set `section` to the theme slug from list_sections. Returns full provena Inputs: slugs, section |
compare_products | Compare specific products side by side by slug within a category (e.g. ['apple-iphone-16-pro','samsung-galaxy-s25-ultra'] in 'smartphones'). Returns full provenanced spec records plus a notFound list and the category's comparable specKeys, Inputs: category, slugs |
find_best | Answer 'best <theme> for <use case>' and 'cheapest <theme>' directly: returns the theme's vendors ranked by entry price (cheapest first, quote-only last), each with its verified compliance facts (HIPAA/SOC 2/GDPR), free-tier flag, best-for Inputs: section, requireHipaa, requireSoc2, requireGdpr, requireFreeTier |
find_products | Answer 'best <category> under $N' and 'which <category> has the most <spec>' directly: filter a category by maxPriceUsd and/or brand, then rank by a field — 'priceUsd' (default, cheapest first), 'releaseDate', or any of the category's spec Inputs: category, maxPriceUsd, brand, sortBy, descending |
get_benchmark | Per-vendor benchmark card by slug within any theme: full provenanced record plus dataset-derived indicators (entry price, normalized cost at 100 and 500 calls/mo where call-volume applies, billing models, free-tier presence, compliance, int Inputs: slug, section |
get_cost_decoder | The REAL all-in monthly cost per vendor for a decoder topic (slug from list_cost_decoders, e.g. 'ai-customer-support-cost'), computed in deterministic code from sourced, dated inputs — each vendor's per-seat price + AI billing model + per-u Inputs: topic, agents, resolutions |
get_independent_test_coverage | The independent-testing provenance for ONE product (by category + slug) — a COUNT of evidence, never a quality score. Fields: outlets (independent outlets on record), labs (how many physically tested it and left >=1 measured value), metrics Inputs: category, slug |
get_normalized_pricing | Effective monthly cost per vendor in any theme at a chosen call volume, normalizing flat, per-minute and per-call billing to one comparable number. For non-telephony catalog themes (per-seat / flat plans with no call quota) this returns eac Inputs: callsPerMonth, avgCallMinutes, section |
get_price_history | The full dated price series for ONE product or vendor (by slug), plus derived stats: first-tracked date, current/low/high, number of recorded changes, net % since tracked, the largest single move, and the last change. This is the citable an Inputs: slug, kind |
list_cost_decoders | List the 'real cost' decoders — topics where the advertised sticker price hides the true bill (e.g. AI customer support billed per resolution, where a $29/mo seat price becomes hundreds/mo at volume). Each entry carries the question it answ |
list_coverage | What this index actually covers, so a miss reads as out-of-scope rather than broken. Now spans 275 pricing themes — the deep hub sections PLUS dozens of catalog topics (VPNs, web hosting, password managers, CRM, e-commerce, AI tools, and mo |
list_product_categories | Enumerate the spec-driven PRODUCT categories this index covers (physical goods like smartphones, laptops, GPUs — distinct from the software/subscription pricing themes). Each entry carries its slug, product count, the comparable spec keys, |
list_sections | Enumerate ALL 275 pricing themes this index covers: the deep hub sections (e.g. ai-receptionists, call-tracking) plus dozens of catalog topics (e.g. vpn-services, web-hosting, password-managers, crm-software). Each entry carries its slug, d |
most_volatile_in_category | Within one category/theme, the entities whose prices have moved the most (ranked by volatility score), plus the category price baseline (count, median current, low/high). Entities without enough recorded movement are omitted from the rankin Inputs: category, kind, limit |
price_movers | Recorded price MOVES across the index within a recency window (default 90 days), newest-and-largest first — each a dated before→after change of a tracked entity. Optionally filter by kind ('hw'/'sw') or category/theme slug. The freshness a Inputs: kind, category, withinDays, limit |
search_products | Search one product category by free-text query across product name, brand, and spec values (e.g. 'snapdragon 5000mah', 'oled 120hz'). Set `category` to a slug from list_product_categories. Returns full provenanced product records (every spe Inputs: category, query |
search_vendors | Search any theme's data index by free-text query across vendor name, domain, integrations, plan notes, and capabilities (e.g. 'hipaa restaurant', 'google ads zapier'). Works for every theme — hub sections and catalog topics alike (set `sect Inputs: query, section |
volatility_for_entity | How volatile ONE product or vendor's price has been: a 0-100 volatility score derived from its recorded moves (frequency × average move size), plus change count, net % and last change. Honest gate: below a minimum recorded-change threshold Inputs: slug, kind |
whats_changed | Recent dated price-change capsules, newest first — the freshness a base model cannot have. Each capsule is a movement of a vendor's published price (vendor, plan, before→after, date, sources), cleared against two witnesses on two different Inputs: since, section |

Yes. It is published by frontdeskreview.com and served from mcp.frontdeskreview.com, the vendor's own domain: https://mcp.frontdeskreview.com/mcp.
19, as returned by the server's own tools/list on 10 September 2026: compare, compare_products, find_best, find_products, get_benchmark, get_cost_decoder, get_independent_test_coverage, get_normalized_pricing, and 11 more.

Put the server under mcpServers in ~/.cursor/mcp.json with the URL https://mcp.frontdeskreview.com/mcp. The exact JSON is above, with the same setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, Gemini CLI and the rest.
It listed its tools to an anonymous client, so reading the tool list needs no key. Individual tools can still ask for credentials in their own inputs.
