分类: 其他

安装

选择你使用的 AI 应用，然后复制设置。

安装之前

基础检查：1 项中通过 1 项
在你的电脑上运行，拥有你的用户账户的权限（文件、网络、应用）。
注册中心没有列出需要填写的密钥。

你需要

PyPI已安装 Python 的 uv（用于 uvx 命令）

你用的是哪个应用？

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

在上方选择你的应用。我们会记住它，下次按钮会显示“安装到 …”。

打开 Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config，把下面的内容粘贴到 claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pricing-time-machine": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "pricing-time-machine-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

在终端中运行这条命令

claude mcp add pricing-time-machine -- uvx pricing-time-machine-mcp

在 Cursor 中打开

或者自己复制设置

粘贴到项目中的 .cursor/mcp.json，或 ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pricing-time-machine": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "pricing-time-machine-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

浏览器会先询问是否打开应用，然后应用会显示设置并请你确认。密钥的值会留空，由你自己填写。

在 VS Code 中打开

或者自己复制设置

粘贴到项目中的 .vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "pricing-time-machine": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "pricing-time-machine-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

浏览器会先询问是否打开应用，然后应用会显示设置并请你确认。密钥的值会留空，由你自己填写。

pricing-time-machine-mcp

See how any SaaS pricing page changed over the years. An MCP server that reads archived copies of pricing pages from the Wayback Machine and pulls out the plans and prices, so Claude (or any MCP client) can tell you when a competitor raised prices, renamed plans or dropped a free tier.

No API keys. No scraping of live sites. One line to install.

You:    How did Notion's pricing change since 2022?

Claude: [compare_pricing → notion.so/pricing, 2022-03 vs latest] • Personal Pro ($4/mo billed yearly) is gone; the cheapest paid plan is now Plus at $10 per member/month. • Team ($8/user/mo) became Business at $20 per member/month: 2.5×. • Free is still $0.

<sub>Summarized from real tool output: archived copies of 31 Mar 2022 and 7 Sep 2026.</sub>

Why

You want to know	Without it	With pricing-time-machine
When a competitor raised prices	Click through dozens of Wayback snapshots by hand	`pricing_timeline` lists price periods and every change
What their plans looked like in 2021	Find a snapshot, read the page	`pricing_at` returns prices with plan names and billing hints
How a whole market moved	Days of spreadsheet work	`compare_competitors` puts 2-8 pricing pages side by side at any date

How it works

flowchart LR

C[Claude / MCP client] -->|tool call| S[pricing-time-machine-mcp] S --> I[Wayback CDX index: which months were archived] S --> W[Archived page closest to a date] W --> X[Extract prices: amount, currency, /mo /yr, per user, plan guess, context] X -->|compact table + page text around prices| C

The server does the deterministic part (finding snapshots, extracting prices, grouping periods). The model does the interpretation: which price belongs to which plan and what a change means. Archived pages never change, so they are cached on disk (~/.cache/pricing-time-machine).

Install

Requires uv.

Claude Code

claude mcp add pricing-time-machine -- uvx pricing-time-machine-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor (claude_desktop_config.json / .cursor/mcp.json)

"mcpServers": { "pricing-time-machine": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["pricing-time-machine-mcp"] } } }

Tools

Tool	What it does
`pricing_timeline`	Reads N archived copies across the years, groups identical prices into periods, lists what was added/removed
`pricing_at`	Prices on the page closest to a date, with plan guess, billing hints, context and the page text around them
`compare_pricing`	One page at two dates: both price tables plus added/removed prices
`compare_competitors`	2–8 pricing pages side by side at the same date
`pricing_snapshots`	Which months/years have an archived copy

Prompts: pricing_history_report (one company, the full story with dates), competitor_pricing (a market then vs now).

Dates can be 2021, 2021-06, 2021-06-15 or latest; the closest archived copy is used and its date is always shown.

Try these

"How did Slack's pricing change since 2016? Show every price increase in %."
"Compare the pricing of Notion, Coda and ClickUp today and in 2021."
"What did Figma charge for Professional in 2019?"
"Run pricing_history_report for linear.app/pricing."

Limits (set by the source)

Only pages the Wayback Machine archived. Most popular pricing pages have monthly copies going back years.
Pages that draw prices with JavaScript are empty in the archive; the server says so and you can try a nearby date.
Plan names are guesses from nearby headings; the context column and page text let the model check them.
archive.org is slow (10–30 s per page) and sometimes briefly offline; the server retries with backoff and caches everything it reads.

Part of the keyless MCP series

Open-source MCP servers that answer one market question each, with public data and no API keys.

Server	Question it answers
review-miner-mcp	What do users hate about competitor apps and games? (App Store + Steam reviews)
pricing-time-machine-mcp (this one)	How did a SaaS pricing page change over the years? (Wayback Machine)
hn-hiring-trends-mcp	Which skills are tech companies hiring for, and which are rising? (HN Who is hiring)
model-price-radar-mcp	What does each LLM cost, and did it get cheaper? (OpenRouter + price history)
launch-detector-mcp	What is a company about to launch? (certificate transparency logs)
