Ce que fait ce MCP

Provides sourced software pricing, total-cost-of-ownership calculations, hidden costs, price changes, comparisons, and negotiation information.

calculate_tco
Total cost of ownership for a product and team size: sourced line items (licenses with price escalation, benchmark implementation), year-one + multi-year totals, effective per-seat cost. The defensible "true cost for an N-person team" answer.

{'type': 'object', 'required': ['slug', 'seats'], 'properties': {'slug': {'type': 'string'}, 'tier': {'type': 'string'}, 'seats': {'type': 'number'}, 'termYears': {'type': 'number'}}}
compare_software
Side-by-side pricing comparison of 2–4 products (starting price, enterprise tier, median annual cost, free tier, ratings).

{'type': 'object', 'required': ['slugs'], 'properties': {'slugs': {'type': 'array', 'items': {'type': 'string'}, 'maxItems': 4, 'minItems': 2}}}
discover_software
Find software products by criteria (category, max price, free tier). Returns matching slugs to look up.

estimate_llm_cost
Estimate the cost of an LLM/API workload (input + output tokens) for a usage-priced provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS Bedrock…) from its real rate card.

{'type': 'object', 'required': ['slug'], 'properties': {'slug': {'type': 'string'}, 'model': {'type': 'string'}, 'inputTokens': {'type': 'number', 'description': 'Input tokens for the workload (e.g. per month). At least one of inputTokens/outputTokens must be > 0.'}, 'outputTokens': {'type': 'number', 'description': 'Output tokens for the workload. At least one of inputTokens/outputTokens must be > 0.'}}}
get_hidden_costs
The documented hidden/implementation/add-on costs of a product (uplifts, onboarding fees, overages), each with a sourced quote + date. The "what they don't tell you" answer.

get_negotiation_tips
Sourced negotiation tactics for a product with success-likelihood (how to get a discount).

get_price_changes
Recent software pricing changes CostBench detected against vendor pricing pages (increases, decreases, plan restructures) — dated, with before/after price bands and a source link. Filter by product slug, category, or lookback window. The "what changed lately" answer; each item links to the sourced record.

Default false.'}}}
get_price_history
Dated per-quarter snapshots of a product's pricing page. Returns observations, NOT a trend figure — CostBench does not publish one, because diffing snapshots across renamed/restructured plan lineups is ~90% measurement artifact.

get_pricing
Full sourced pricing record for a software product: tiers, hidden costs, contract terms, market data, sentiment, negotiation tips, TCO scenarios, price history — every claim with its sources + a confidence/verification envelope.
