How to compare home internet providers in Claude

Last updated: September 27, 2026

Commerce for Agents is a free MCP server that lists the fixed home internet providers available at a US address, with technology, top speeds and latency, so Claude can compare them for you. Connect it once as a custom connector, then ask Claude for broadband at your address inside the chat.

Example prompts

What the tool returns

The compare-broadband tool takes a US street address (or latitude/longitude) and returns the fixed providers reported for that census block: technology (fiber, cable, DSL, fixed wireless or satellite), maximum advertised download and upload speed, and whether latency is low. Results are ranked by low latency first, then by speed. There are no prices.

For example, at 350 5th Ave, New York, NY 10118, the tool reports the carriers on file for that block with their technology and top speeds, plus a coverage note that a provider listed for a block may not serve every building in it. The data comes from the FCC's Broadband Data Collection at census-block level, with an as-of date in every response.

FAQ

Does this cost anything?

No. Commerce for Agents is free to use. See the terms, section 4 for how the service is funded.

Does it store my address?

No. The address is used only to look up the US Census block and is not stored or logged. See privacy.

Is there an affiliate relationship?

Where a provider link is shown, it may be an affiliate link and Commerce for Agents may earn a commission; ranking is never affected by commissions. Details in the terms, section 4.

Can I use this without Claude Desktop?

Yes. Any MCP client that supports custom connectors and Streamable HTTP can add the same URL, including claude.ai.
