What the checks stopped.

The MCP server answers from the same checked data as the rest of the site. Real drafts that never reached a customer, and why.

Draft · 27 Jul 2026Rejected

“A vendor cut its annual plan price.”

That was the normal annual-billing discount, not a price cut.

Draft · 24 Aug 2026Retracted

“A vendor is running 400 active ads.”

The ad library shows at most 200 results per page. We hit that limit; we did not count 400 ads.

Draft · 29 Sep 2026Rejected

“A vendor is listing exactly 50 open roles.”

50 is the job board’s page limit, not a real count. The true number is unknown.

Every draft runs through 29 checks. See them all.

Frequently asked questions

What can I ask the IndustryLens MCP server?

30 tools across five jobs: monitoring a competitor or market (find_competitors, list_competitor_moves, get_competitor_moves_diff, get_pricing_changes, list_markets, get_market_landscape, list_signals, get_hiring_by_geo, get_my_market), analysing what a move means (get_competitive_profile, compare_competitors, get_customer_voice, list_ai_moves, compare_capabilities, get_recommendations, ask_industrylens, get_market_visibility, get_tech_stack), prepping to sell (get_battlecard, prep_for_call, list_competitors), writing human judgement back as an account owner or admin (suggest_intel, annotate_battlecard), and browsing published reports and comparisons (list_reports, get_report, list_comparisons, get_comparison, subscribe_to_newsletter). 12 of these need no signup; the rest need a paid account. get_competitive_profile, get_pricing_changes and get_competitor_moves_diff also accept a batch of up to 10 companies per call, and account-tier clients can subscribe to a signal feed or a battlecard for push notifications instead of polling.

How is IndustryLens MCP different from other competitive intelligence tools?

Most competitive intelligence platforms require a demo call and an enterprise contract before you can access any data. IndustryLens has a public MCP tier that works inside the AI tools you already use, with published pricing from £149/month.

Does the IndustryLens MCP server expose any private customer data?

No. The public server returns facts about companies and the existence of strategic shifts, never a customer's private data or who tracks whom. Full per-account intelligence lives in your IndustryLens account.

Which AI clients support the IndustryLens MCP server?

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, Perplexity, Grok, Mistral, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Cline, Smithery, and any other MCP-aware tool that accepts a remote server URL.

What industries does the IndustryLens MCP server cover?

Sales intelligence, AI-search and brand visibility, GTM engineering, spend management, APM and observability, offshore engineering/BOT, and competitive intelligence. Coverage refreshes weekly.
