What is the best competitor tracking tool?

There is no single best competitor tracking tool. Klue and Crayon fit sales enablement and battlecards. Visualping fits website change alerts. Similarweb fits enterprise digital data. Spyglass, Trendtrack, and Competitors App fit ad research. Spiderlook fits teams that want a daily, evidence-backed scan of chosen rivals in Claude or ChatGPT, with one project per client.

Choose another tool if

  • PMMs and sales reps need battlecards and win-loss. That is Klue's published audience. Crayon and Kompyte publish sales enablement and battlecards.
  • The job is website change detection. That is Visualping's published product, and it has an MCP endpoint plus a ChatGPT app.
  • The job is enterprise traffic, keywords, and ads. That is Similarweb's published audience. Its MCP needs API access, and it publishes Ad Intelligence and Ad Monitor.
  • The job is ecommerce creative or ads. Spyglass, Trendtrack, and Competitors App publish that coverage.

Choose Spiderlook if

  • You want a daily scan of the website, social profiles, and Meta and Google ads you turn on for each rival, with the posts, ads, and pages kept as evidence.
  • Each client or brand has its own project, and you want that project in Claude Desktop, the claude.ai connector, or ChatGPT.

Use it in Claude and ChatGPT

These are the published Spiderlook steps. Sign-in is OAuth. Do not paste a bearer token.

Claude Desktop

  1. Add a remote MCP server named spiderlook.
  2. Set the URL to https://api.spiderlook.com/mcp.
  3. Or run claude mcp add --transport http spiderlook https://api.spiderlook.com/mcp.
  4. When Claude asks you to sign in, approve access in Spiderlook. Do not paste a bearer token.

claude.ai connector

  1. Open Claude on the web and go to Customize, then Connectors.
  2. Add a custom connector named Spiderlook and paste the MCP endpoint.
  3. The prefilled connector link opens that modal with the name and URL filled in.
  4. Choose Connect. Claude starts OAuth and opens Spiderlook so you can sign in and approve.

ChatGPT

  1. In ChatGPT, add a custom connector or app that accepts a remote MCP server URL.
  2. Name it Spiderlook and set the server URL to https://api.spiderlook.com/mcp.
  3. Create the connector. ChatGPT starts OAuth and opens Spiderlook so you can sign in and approve.
  4. Do not paste a bearer token. Spiderlook does not deep-link ChatGPT, because ChatGPT does not provide a connector install link.

Open the claude.ai connector with Spiderlook prefilled. Setup steps.

Example prompts

  1. List the projects and rivals I can access.
