Developer ships read-only MCP server for padel racket comparison

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created a read-only MCP server for comparing padel rackets, accessible via Claude or ChatGPT. The server, built with Next.js and Vercel, offers three tools: racket recommendation based on player profile, search by criteria, and side-by-side spec comparison. The developer focused on stateless HTTP for serverless deployment and detailed the challenges faced with trailing slashes in Next.js routing.
