## Tools
- 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. Endpoint: https://costbench.com/mcp
- 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. Endpoint: https://costbench.com/mcp
- get_negotiation_tips - Sourced negotiation tactics for a product with success-likelihood (how to get a discount). Endpoint: https://costbench.com/mcp
- 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. Endpoint: https://costbench.com/mcp
- compare_software - Side-by-side pricing comparison of 2–4 products (starting price, enterprise tier, median annual cost, free tier, ratings). Endpoint: https://costbench.com/mcp
- discover_software - Find software products by criteria (category, max price, free tier). Returns matching slugs to look up. Endpoint: https://costbench.com/mcp
- 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. Endpoint: https://costbench.com/mcp
- 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. Endpoint: https://costbench.com/mcp
