What is ShadowPrice?

ShadowPrice connects your AI assistant — Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible LLM — to a curated database of leaked B2B SaaS contracts, historical discount data, and negotiation playbooks.

Ask a simple question like "How much should I pay for HubSpot Enterprise?" and get back real pricing benchmarks sourced from actual contracts — not vendor list prices.

Key Capabilities

• 🔍 Contract Pricing Intelligence — Access leaked pricing from real SaaS deals.
• 📉 Historical Discount Data — See what discounts others have negotiated over time.
• 🤝 Negotiation Tactics — AI-generated strategies tailored to each vendor.
• ⚡ Zero Setup — Runs instantly via npx -y shadowprice. No cloning, no building.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client installed.

Connect to Claude Desktop

Open your Claude Desktop config file:

OS	Path
macOS	~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows	%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shadowprice": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "shadowprice"],
      "env": {
        "SHADOWPRICE_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

[!IMPORTANT] Replace your_api_key_here with the API key from your shadowprice.dev dashboard.

Save the file, then quit and reopen Claude Desktop. The ShadowPrice tools will appear in the 🔨 tools menu.

2. Click "+ Add New MCP Server".
3. Fill in the fields:
   • Type: command
   • Name: ShadowPrice
   • Command: npx -y shadowprice
4. Add your API key as an environment variable:

Universal MCP Clients

ShadowPrice works with any MCP-compatible client — including LangChain, Dify, Flowise, and others. Configure your client to use the command transport type with the following settings:

Field	Value
Type	command
Command	npx
Args	["-y", "shadowprice"]
Env	SHADOWPRICE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Most clients accept this as a JSON block:

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "shadowprice"],
  "env": {
    "SHADOWPRICE_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
  }
}

[!TIP] Pass SHADOWPRICE_API_KEY via your client's environment variable configuration to keep your key secure and out of version control.
