Search 350+ compensation surveys by industry, region, or job title. Independent directory.
Search 350+ compensation surveys by industry, region, or job title. Independent directory. Exposed over MCP by the compshop mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
The independent directory of salary & compensation surveys. Search 350+ reports across 17+ vendors (Mercer, WTW, Aon, SullivanCotter, Gallagher, Pearl Meyer, Empsight, Culpepper, Milliman, MRA, LOMA, Birches Group, Western Management Group, and more) by job title, industry, geography, or publisher.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Framework — ** Next.js 14 (App Router) + TypeScript + TailwindDatabase — ** SQLite (better-sqlite3) with a file-backed DB bundled in the repoSearch — ** server-side FTS-ish query across vendors, reports, job families, positions, and participating orgsSEO — ** ~3,500 statically-generated indexable pages (vendor / report / family / position) with JSON-LD, OG/Twitter tags, canonical URLs, and anYou will need one environment variable: NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at npm on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Among the database access options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. CompShop's toolset — Framework, Database, Search and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by mkibrick; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against CompShop's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
