Tools (public tier)
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
get_competitive_profile | Profile for a company: firmographics, recent strategic moves (was → now, with the real analysis date), and linked reports. |
list_competitor_moves | A competitor's recent tracked moves, newest first. |
find_competitors | Companies competing with a given company, in the same tracked market. |
list_reports | Browse published competitive-intelligence reports (filter by industry / role). |
get_report | Full body of a published report by slug. |
list_comparisons | Browse head-to-head competitor comparisons. |
get_comparison | Full structured body of a comparison by slug. |
subscribe_to_newsletter | Subscribe to the weekly intelligence briefing (with consent). |
get_competitor_moves_diff | A competitor's dated change feed: every detected was → now strategic shift, newest first, each stamped with its real analysis date. |
get_pricing_changes | Recent pricing and packaging changes across tracked markets — change type, severity, materiality score, plain-language summary, and detection date. |
list_markets | The B2B SaaS markets IndustryLens monitors; each item returns a slug usable with get_market_landscape. |
get_market_landscape | Whole-category map for a market: the published category overview plus every player tracked in it — not a self-selected competitor set. |
Resources
| Resource | What it does |
|---|---|
industrylens://reports | The catalog of published competitive-intelligence reports as JSON (slug, title, url). |
industrylens://reports/{slug} | Read pattern for a single report: the full body of the report with that slug. |
Prompts
| Prompt | What it does |
|---|---|
market_brief | Builds a dated, cited competitive brief for one company, using get_competitive_profile and get_competitor_moves_diff. Argument: company (required) — name or domain, e.g. Apollo or apollo.io. |
compare_two | Produces a head-to-head comparison of two companies, preferring a published IndustryLens comparison and falling back to each company's profile. Arguments: company_a and company_b (both required) — name or domain. |
The public tier returns facts about companies and the existence of strategic shifts (with real analysis dates), never a customer's private data. Deeper, per-account intelligence (full reasoning, recommendations, weekly briefings) lives in an IndustryLens account: https://industry-lens.com/pricing

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
