About Competitive Intel
Competitive Intel is described as offering tools for competitive research using SEC filings, patent data, and trade data. The README does not match this project, so this overview relies only on its name and tagline.
Key features
- 01SEC filing data
- 02Patent data
- 03Trade data
Use cases
- 01Search SEC filings
- 02Review patent data
- 03Analyze trade data
MCP support
The project is labeled as providing four competitive intelligence MCP tools, but the README does not describe their specific behavior.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Tools
Details
From the project READMECybersecurity Vulnerability Intelligence MCP Server
Unified vulnerability intelligence from 4 government data sources in a single MCP server. Get enriched CVE lookups with CVSS scores, active exploitation status, exploitation probability, and ATT&CK techniques in one call.
| Source | What It Provides | Update Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| NIST NVD 2.0 | CVE details, CVSS scores, descriptions, references, CWE classifications | Continuous |
| CISA KEV | Actively exploited vulnerabilities catalog, remediation deadlines | Daily |
| FIRST.org EPSS | Exploitation probability scores (0-1) predicting likelihood of exploitation in next 30 days | Daily |
| MITRE ATT&CK | Adversary techniques mapped to CVEs | Quarterly |
Tools
vuln_lookup_cve — Enriched CVE Lookup
The killer feature. Look up any CVE and get intelligence from all 4 sources in a single call.
- Input:
{ cveId: "CVE-2021-44228" } - Returns: NVD details + CVSS score + KEV exploitation status + EPSS probability + ATT&CK techniques
vuln_search — Search CVEs
Search the NVD by keyword, severity, and date range. Optionally filter to only actively exploited (KEV) vulnerabilities.
- Input:
{ keyword: "apache log4j", severity: "CRITICAL", hasKev: true, limit: 20 }
vuln_kev_latest — Recently Exploited Vulnerabilities
Get vulnerabilities recently added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
- Input:
{ days: 7, limit: 20 }
vuln_kev_due_soon — Upcoming Remediation Deadlines
Get KEV entries with remediation deadlines approaching. Critical for federal compliance.
- Input:
{ days: 14, limit: 20 }
vuln_epss_top — Highest Exploitation Probability
Get CVEs most likely to be exploited in the next 30 days based on EPSS machine learning model.
- Input:
{ threshold: 0.7, limit: 20 }
vuln_trending — Newly Published Critical CVEs
Get recently published high/critical severity CVEs from the NVD.
- Input:
{ days: 3, severity: "CRITICAL", limit: 20 }
vuln_by_vendor — Vendor Vulnerability Assessment
Search CVEs for a specific vendor/product. Cross-references with CISA KEV to flag actively exploited issues.
- Input:
{ vendor: "microsoft", product: "windows", limit: 20 }
Use Cases
- Vulnerability triage: Look up a CVE and instantly know if it's actively exploited, its EPSS score, and what ATT&CK techniques apply
- Patch prioritization: Combine KEV status + EPSS scores to prioritize remediation
- Compliance tracking: Monitor upcoming CISA KEV remediation deadlines
- Threat intelligence: Track trending CVEs and newly weaponized vulnerabilities
- Vendor risk assessment: Assess a vendor's vulnerability exposure and active exploitation status

New to MCP?
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.
