CompShop

Directory of 350+ salary/compensation surveys across 17+ vendors (Mercer, WTW, Aon, SullivanCotter, Gallagher, Pearl Meyer, Empsight, Culpepper, Milliman, MRA, LOMA, Birches Group, Western Management Group, more) — searchable by job title, industry, region, or publisher. Bundled SQLite DB + ~3,500 statically-generated SEO pages. Note: the repo ships a Next.js website with FTS-like search, not a standalone MCP server — agents querying via MCP must use the registry-listed endpoint.

When to use CompShop

Choose if

You're building an agent for HR consultants, compensation analysts, or talent-acquisition teams who need to find which published salary survey covers a specific job title, industry, or region — and you want a vendor-agnostic directory rather than one survey publisher's catalog. Independent (not owned by Mercer/WTW/Aon) so the recommendation isn't biased toward one publisher.

Avoid if

You expect the MCP to return actual compensation numbers — it returns survey metadata (which survey, what it covers, who participates), not the underlying pay data. For real benchmarks the user must buy the named survey from its publisher. Avoid if you need data freshness guarantees; the loader cadence is manual.

Risk Flags

  • MEDIUM scope Directory of surveys — NOT the underlying compensation data itself. Agents get pointers (vendor, report, participating orgs, job families) but to actually read survey results the user must buy access from the survey vendor. Don't confuse "find which survey covers X" with "tell me the median pay for X."
  • MEDIUM maturity Single-developer Next.js project (mkibrick). README describes a web app and SQLite DB; the MCP-server surface is registry-listed but not documented in the README — agents may find limited tool coverage.
  • LOW data_quality Data is loaded from manually-curated scripts (see scripts/SCRAPING.md). Freshness depends on the maintainer's scrape cadence.
