salarymcp, the salary API with caveats attached

salarymcp.com Observed source

Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A REST API and MCP server for comparing median pay across occupations and countries in local currency, USD, and PPP.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-02 issue.

Field notes

The service presents salary records with both original and normalized values, rather than collapsing different statistical conventions into a single figure. Its example identifies RAIS as the Brazilian source, marks the result as estimated, records a 2024 reference year, and explains the country-specific 13-pay-period calculation. The homepage also exposes an MCP endpoint for agent use, while API examples authenticate with an X-API-Key header.
