Not ready to connect? Watch the agent desk: a recorded Claude session on this MCP server, working a live case of 25 competitive-intelligence rivals from April to July. Real tool calls, real detected changes. The same case as a Monday email brief sits next door, and the demo hub shows both.

Authentication

On the first tool call the server walks you through an OAuth sign-in. For headless or automated use, generate an API key in the app and send it as an X-API-Key header. See API keys.

Tools

The server exposes ~50 tools across the workspace. A sample:

Tool	What it does
list_competitors	List the competitors your organization tracks
subscribe_competitor	Start tracking a competitor by URL
list_org_changes	Read the organization-wide change feed, with filters
get_competitor_timeline	Chronological activity for one competitor
list_snapshots / get_snapshot	Tracked-page snapshots with HTML, markdown and screenshots
list_labels / assign_label	Organize competitors with labels
create_dispatch	Set up a notification / weekly dossier
create_webhook	Register a webhook endpoint for changes

Read tools need no special scope; write tools modify your workspace and destructive tools require an explicit confirm: true. The complete, always-current catalogue is at competitortracker.io/docs/mcp/tools.

Who it's for

Founders, product and marketing teams who already live in an AI assistant and want competitor intelligence where they work: pricing moves, page changes, launches. Not in yet another dashboard.

About this repository

This repo is the public listing and manifest for the Competitor Tracker MCP server (server.json, client config, install notes). The server itself runs remotely at https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp, so there is nothing to build or host here. To use it, just point your client at the endpoint.
