CompShop
Gives Claude search access to a curated directory of 350+ compensation and salary surveys from major vendors like Mercer, WTW, Aon, and SullivanCotter. You can query by job title, industry, geography, or publisher to find which surveys cover specific roles or markets. The underlying data lives in a SQLite database with full-text search across vendors, reports, job families, positions, and participating organizations. Useful when you're doing comp benchmarking research, need to identify relevant salary surveys for HR projects, or want to quickly check which vendors publish data for a particular industry or role without manually browsing dozens of vendor catalogs.
