Overview

What is Rival Mcp?

Rival Mcp is an MCP server that lets AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client) natively query AI model comparison data from rival.tips — including benchmarks, pricing, capabilities, and side‑by‑side comparisons — without leaving the editor.

How to use Rival Mcp?

Run npx rival-mcp in your terminal. No API key is required; all data comes from the public rival.tips API. Configure the server for your client (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf) by adding the command npx -y rival-mcp to the client’s MCP configuration file.
