It supports tools for discovering vendors by industry or region, finding surveys for specific job titles, and getting detailed information on reports and vendors to help users benchmark compensation data.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers a Streamable HTTP server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http compshop-mcp https://www.comp-shop.com/api/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).
Codex configuration
codex mcp add compshop-mcp --url https://www.comp-shop.com/api/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable compshop-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "compshop-mcp": {
      "url": "https://www.comp-shop.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure). The type must be streamableHttp for a remote HTTP server.
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "compshop-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://www.comp-shop.com/api/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start compshop-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "compshop-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://www.comp-shop.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.
Gemini CLI configuration
gemini mcp add --transport http compshop-mcp https://www.comp-shop.com/api/mcp

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.
Claude Desktop configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "compshop-mcp": {
      "url": "https://www.comp-shop.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
Windsurf configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "compshop-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://www.comp-shop.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}
