Competitor research in ChatGPT and Claude with MCP

· 4 min read

In short: MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets compatible AI tools use Spiderlook project intelligence directly. You connect one project, and the AI tool works with that project’s rivals, activity and evidence.

What MCP is

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to outside tools and data. Instead of pasting research into a chat, the assistant queries the source directly.

What it means for competitor research

With Spiderlook connected, you can ask ChatGPT, Claude or your own agents for the work itself — a monthly competitor report, a summary of what changed, a briefing from the latest scan — built from Spiderlook’s collected evidence.

One project at a time

  • Each client project keeps its own rivals, sources, history and intelligence.
  • Your AI tool works with the project you choose.
  • Other client projects stay private.

Prefer to stay in Spiderlook?

Ask Spidey, Spiderlook’s built-in assistant, answers the same kinds of questions in natural language inside the app, and shows the evidence behind each answer.
