You run a fast MCP server that delivers AI-powered competitive intelligence and daily planning. It retrieves competitor updates, analyzes trends, and helps you plan your day with calendar integration and prioritized tasks, all through a streamlined MCP client workflow.

How to use

Connect to the Competitive Intelligence MCP Server from your MCP client by adding a local stdio configuration that points to your Python runtime and the server entry script. Once connected, you can request fresh competitive insights, generate daily plans, and schedule automated intelligence gathering tasks.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation are Python 3.x, pip, and Git. You will also use a virtual environment to keep dependencies isolated.

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/competitive-intelligence-mcp.git
cd competitive-intelligence-mcp

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

pip install -r requirements.txt

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your actual API keys and configuration

python src/server.py

Configuration and runtime notes

Create a local MCP configuration entry to run the server via a stdio connection. This lets your MCP client start and manage the server directly from your workspace.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "competitive_intel": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["src/server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Security and environment setup

Store API keys and credentials in a protected .env file and keep it out of source control. The following environment variables are used by the server and should be defined in your .env file.

# API Keys
NEWS_API_KEY=your_news_api_key_here

# Google Calendar OAuth
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your_google_client_id_here
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_google_client_secret_here

# Jira API
JIRA_API_TOKEN=your_jira_api_token_here
JIRA_DOMAIN=your_domain.atlassian.net

# Asana API
ASANA_API_TOKEN=your_asana_api_token_here

# Configuration
DEFAULT_COMPETITORS=competitor1,competitor2,competitor3
DEFAULT_FOCUS_AREAS=pricing,product_launches,partnerships
