What this server can do
7 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
find_surveys_for_position(limit, position)- Find compensation surveys that benchmark a specific job title or position (e.g. 'Software Engineer', 'CPA', 'Sr Acct', 'head of finance'). Combines literal title matching with embedding-based semantic similarity, so abbreviations and paraphrases work — 'CPA' returns 'Certified Public Accountant', 'Sr Acct' returns 'Senior Accountant'. Reports per position are ranked to surface broad-coverage surveys (general-industry, US scope) before niche cuts. Required: position.
get_report(slug)- Detailed info on a single survey report by slug. Required: slug.
get_vendor(slug)- Detailed info on a specific vendor by slug, including all of their reports. Use after `search` or `list_vendors_by_industry` returns a candidate. Required: slug.
list_vendors_by_industry(industry)- List every CompShop vendor that publishes surveys for a given industry. Use when the user asks 'what survey publishers cover [industry]?' Required: industry.
list_vendors_by_region(region)- List vendors with survey coverage in a given region. Use when the user asks 'what publishers cover [region]?' Region is matched against both vendor-level scope and individual report scopes. Required: region.
recommend_surveys(limit, region, industry, role_focus)- Recommend the best-fit compensation surveys given a hiring/benchmarking context. Use when the user asks 'what survey should I use for [situation]?' Returns ranked vendors with rationale. Required: industry. Optional: region, role focus. Required: industry.
search(limit, query)- Free-text search across the CompShop directory of compensation surveys. Returns matching vendors, reports, job families, and positions. Use for open-ended discovery questions like 'biotech surveys in Europe' or 'CEO compensation data'. Required: query.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
