Overview

What is Compare Html?

Compare Html is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that allows AI assistants to programmatically compare two HTML values and return their structural differences. It is part of the @compare-html/cli package and targets developers who need automated HTML comparison in AI-driven workflows.

How to use Compare Html?

Start the MCP server by running npx @compare-html/cli --mcp in your terminal. AI assistants can then call the compare_html tool, providing at least one base input (baseHTML string or baseHTMLFilePath) and one contrast input (contrastHTML string or contrastHTMLFilePath). The server returns an array of HTMLValueDifference objects describing each change.
