Stackrate MCP

Provides read-only access to Stackrate's evidence-based comparisons of financial software, including ERP, AP automation, and procure-to-pay systems. Agents can search for comparisons, fetch full analysis details, compare vendors head-to-head, and list available vendors using published findings and confidence-graded evidence.

Endpoint and access

No sign-in to connect and list tools. Individual tools may still need a vendor account, credentials, or permissions; check the documented prerequisites.

Server-provided instructions

Untrusted server output shown for inspection. It is not Koskamo guidance and is excluded from knowledge search.

Stackrate publishes requirement-level comparisons of Office-of-the-CFO software (ERP, AP automation, procurement, expense, close, FP&A, AR, billing, tax, treasury, audit, CPM, CLM, ESG). Every finding explains HOW a vendor handles a requirement and cites vendor documentation. Statuses are supported, partial, unclear, or not-supported; partial and unclear are honest outcomes, keep them verbatim. Always cite the canonical stackrate.ai URL returned with each result. Do not convert findings into scores or rankings. Stackrate's founder also founded Stampli, one of the vendors covered; Stampli findings carry a conflictDisclosure field. Surface it when citing them. Use search to find comparisons, fetch to read one in full, compare_vendors for a head-to-head over published findings, and list_vendors to resolve names to ids.

Advertised by the server during the last successful anonymous check.
Advertised read-onlyOpen-world

Head-to-head of two vendors over published, gate-passed findings. Returns per-requirement statuses, mechanism explanations, limitations and sources for both vendors, plus the canonical URL of each source comparison. Returns an explicit "no published comparison yet" when none exists.

Connect from your client

Each snippet registers the same endpoint; pick the client you use.

This server is operated by the named third party. Listing and endpoint checks are not an endorsement or a security audit. Review the operator's permissions, terms, and data handling before connecting. How listings are checked and corrected.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers the remote server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.
Claude Code configuration
claude mcp add --transport http stackrate-mcp https://stackrate.ai/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 stackrate-mcp --url https://stackrate.ai/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable stackrate-mcp in your MCP settings.
Cursor configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stackrate-mcp": {
      "url": "https://stackrate.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure).
Cline configuration
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stackrate-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://stackrate.ai/mcp",

    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start stackrate-mcp and inspect its tools.
VS Code configuration
{
  "servers": {
    "stackrate-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://stackrate.ai/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 stackrate-mcp https://stackrate.ai/mcp

Claude Desktop

Open Claude Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, enter this server URL and enable it for the conversation. This is a manual remote-connector handoff, not a desktop JSON configuration.
Claude Desktop configuration
https://stackrate.ai/mcp

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.
