BizIntel

You can run BizIntel MCP Server to empower your AI assistant with real-time business intelligence capabilities, including competitor research, website scoring, review analysis, and market research, all via the Model Context Protocol.

How to use

Connect your MCP client to the BizIntel MCP Server using either the hosted endpoint or the local server you run yourself. Once connected, you can request analyses such as competitive landscape assessments, web presence scoring, review sentiment and themes, and market research. Your AI assistant will perform the requested analyses and return structured insights you can act on, all through MCP-enabled prompts.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installing include Git and Bun. Bun provides the runtime for the server. Ensure you have a recent version installed.

# Self-hosted installation
git clone https://github.com/sjcripps/mcp-business-intelligence.git
cd mcp-business-intelligence
bun install

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your OpenAI API key and admin secret

bun run server.ts

Additional configuration and security notes

The server requires credentials to access admin endpoints and to authenticate API usage. You will set these values in the environment or a configured .env file. The following environment variables are used by the server:

• OPENAI_API_KEY: OpenAI API key for AI-powered analysis
• ADMIN_SECRET: Secret for admin API endpoints
• MCP_PORT: Server port (optional; defaults to 4200)
