find_competitors

Use when the user asks who else competes in a company's market, or wants a peer/competitor set for a given company. Given a company domain or name, returns the other companies IndustryLens tracks in the same market. Returns { covered: false } for companies not publicly tracked.

Argument	Type	Description
name	string	Company name (e.g. 'Apollo'). Used when no domain is given.
limit	integer	Max competitors (default 10, max 50).
domain	string	Company domain or homepage URL (e.g. 'apollo.io'). Preferred.

    }
  },
  "additionalProperties": false
}

get_comparison

Use when the user wants the full head-to-head detail for one published comparison (after finding its slug via list_comparisons). Fetches the full structured body of a published competitor comparison by slug. Returns content_json (the structured breakdown: pricing, recent moves, positioning, displacement signals, when-to-choose, etc.) plus metadata.

Argument	Type	Description
slug*	string	Comparison slug from list_comparisons.

Input schema (JSON)

  "type": "object",
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",

      "minLength": 1,
      "description": "Comparison slug from list_comparisons."
    }
  },
  "additionalProperties": false
}

get_competitive_profile

Use when the user asks who competes with a company, what a competitor recently did, or for a competitive overview of one or more domains. Input a company domain or name and get a privacy-safe profile: firmographics (business model, stage, HQ, plus `firmographics.funding_stage` / `last_raise` / `investors` / `employee_count` — these read `collected: false` with a plain 'not yet collected' note until that enrichment source is wired up, never a guess), recent strategic moves (the existence of a shift + a was→now summary, with the real analysis date), and links to published reports/comparisons. Returns { covered: false } for companies IndustryLens doesn't publicly track. Pass `companies` (up to 10 names/domains) instead of domain/name to look up several companies in one call — each gets its own result block, in the order given, each tagged with a `status` (account / public / not_covered / ambiguous).

Argument	Type	Description
name	string	Company name (e.g. 'Apollo'). Used when no domain is given.
domain	string	Company domain or homepage URL (e.g. 'apollo.io'). Preferred — most precise.
companies	array	Batch alternative to domain/name: up to 10 company names or domains. Omit domain/name when using this. Returns one profile per entry, in input order.

    }
  },
  "additionalProperties": false
}

get_competitor_moves_diff

Use when the user asks what changed, what's new, or wants a timeline of a competitor's moves. Returns the dated CHANGE-FEED for one competitor: every real was→now strategic shift IndustryLens detected, newest-first, each stamped with its real analysis date (never a fabricated date) — optionally since a given date. Input a domain or name. Returns { covered: false } with a CTA for companies not publicly tracked. Pass `companies` (up to 10 names/domains) instead of domain/name to get a change feed for several competitors in one call — each gets its own result block, in the order given.

Argument	Type	Description
name	string	Company name (e.g. 'Apollo'). Used when no domain is given.
limit	integer	Max moves (default 20, max 50).
since	string	Optional ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD). Only moves analyzed on/after this date are returned.
domain	string	Company domain or homepage URL (e.g. 'apollo.io'). Preferred — most precise.
companies	array	Batch alternative to domain/name: up to 10 company names or domains. Omit domain/name when using this. Returns one change feed per entry, in input order; `since`/`limit` apply to every entry.

    }
  },
  "additionalProperties": false
}

get_market_landscape

Use when the user wants an overview of a whole market/category — every player in it, not just a self-selected competitor set. Given a market (a vertical slug or name), returns the published category overview plus every player IndustryLens tracks in that market — the whole-CATEGORY map, not a self-selected competitor set. Returns the hub (title, abstract, tldr, hero_stats, url), the deduped list of players (name, domain, business_model), and `market_news` — the latest weekly market summary (narrative, top topics, new entrants, topic momentum, source URLs). Returns { covered: false } for markets IndustryLens doesn't publicly track. Use list_markets to discover slugs.

Argument	Type	Description
market*	string	A vertical slug (exact) or market name (ILIKE), e.g. 'sales-intelligence' or 'sales intelligence'.

Input schema (JSON)

{
  "type": "object",
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  "required": [
    "market"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "market": {

      "minLength": 1,
      "description": "A vertical slug (exact) or market name (ILIKE), e.g. 'sales-intelligence' or 'sales intelligence'."
    }
  },
  "additionalProperties": false
}

get_pricing_changes

Use when the user asks about a competitor's pricing/packaging changes, or wants a recent pricing-change feed. Returns structured pricing/packaging changes IndustryLens has detected — each with a change_type, severity, materiality score, a plain-language summary, and the real detection date. Pass a `competitor` (name or domain) to scope to one company, or omit it for a recent pricing feed. Pass `competitors` (up to 10 names/domains) instead to get a feed per company in one call, each in input order. The feed spans the markets IndustryLens publicly tracks. No other public source exposes structured competitor pricing-diffs like this.

Argument	Type	Description
limit	integer	Max changes (default 20, max 50).
since	string	ISO date lower bound for detection (e.g. '2026-01-01'). Defaults to 90 days ago.
competitor	string	Competitor name or domain (e.g. 'Apollo' or 'apollo.io'). Omit for a market-wide recent pricing feed.
competitors	array	Batch alternative to `competitor`: up to 10 competitor names or domains. Omit `competitor` when using this. Returns one pricing feed per entry, in input order; `since`/`limit` apply to every entry.

Input schema (JSON)

{
  "type": "object",
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  "properties": {
    "limit": {
      "type": "integer",

    }
  },
  "additionalProperties": false
}

get_report

Use when the user wants the full text of one published IndustryLens report (after finding its slug via list_reports). Fetch the full body of a published report by slug. Returns the report's structured fields plus content_html (the canonical body) and the report's web URL. There is no standalone hosted PDF file — `pdf_url` is always null (verified live: the marketing_reports.pdf_url column is unpopulated for every published report; an earlier version of this description incorrectly claimed a real generated-PDF link existed). A PDF IS available, but gated by design: `pdf_download.url` is the report's own web page, where a 'Download PDF' button opens after the reader submits a work email (IndustryLens's deliberate lead-capture gate) and then renders the PDF client-side in the browser via print-to-PDF — there is no URL an MCP client (or anything else) can fetch directly to get the PDF bytes. Never construct or guess a .pdf URL yourself; point the user at `pdf_download.url` (same as `url`) and tell them a work email is required.

Argument	Type	Description
slug*	string	Report slug from list_reports (e.g. '/devops-hiring-q1-2026' or 'devops-hiring-q1-2026').

Input schema (JSON)

{
  "type": "object",
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  "required": [
    "slug"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "slug": {
      "type": "string",
      "minLength": 1,
      "description": "Report slug from list_reports (e.g. '/devops-hiring-q1-2026' or 'devops-hiring-q1-2026')."
    }
  },
  "additionalProperties": false
}

list_comparisons

Use when the user wants to browse published competitor-vs-competitor breakdowns, or find one involving a specific competitor, rather than fetch one specific comparison by slug. Optionally filter by a competitor name (matches either side). Each item has a slug usable with get_comparison. URLs follow https://industry-lens.com/compare/<slug>.

Argument	Type	Description
limit	integer	Max results (default 10, max 50).
competitor	string	Competitor name filter (matches either side, ILIKE).

  "type": "object",

    "competitor": {
      "type": "string",
      "description": "Competitor name filter (matches either side, ILIKE)."
    }
  },
  "additionalProperties": false
}

list_competitor_moves

Use when the user asks what a specific competitor has recently done or changed. Returns recent tracked strategic moves for one competitor, newest-first — the existence of each shift plus a was→now summary and the real analysis date (never a fabricated date). Returns { covered: false } for companies IndustryLens doesn't publicly track, and an empty list for covered companies with no moves detected yet.

Argument	Type	Description
limit	integer	Max moves (default 10, max 50).
competitor*	string	Competitor name or domain (e.g. 'Apollo' or 'apollo.io').

    "competitor"

list_markets

Use when the user wants to know which B2B SaaS markets/categories IndustryLens tracks, or needs a slug for get_market_landscape. Returns the list of markets, ordered by name. Each item has a `slug` usable with get_market_landscape for the full category map.

list_reports

Use when the user wants to browse or discover published competitive-intelligence reports (e.g. by topic, role, or industry) rather than fetch one specific report by slug. Filter by industry or target_role; results are ordered newest-first. Each returned item has a slug usable with get_report. URLs follow https://industry-lens.com/reports/<slug>.

Argument	Type	Description
limit	integer	Max results (default 10, max 50).
industry	string	Industry filter, ILIKE match (e.g. 'hr tech', 'devops', 'fintech').

  "type": "object",
  "$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
  "properties": {
    "limit": {

subscribe_to_newsletter

Use ONLY after the user explicitly asks to subscribe to IndustryLens's weekly intelligence-report newsletter — never subscribe an email without their direct, informed consent. Signs the given email up and returns a confirmation. The source argument is recorded for attribution and defaults to 'mcp'.

Argument	Type	Description
email*	string	The email address the user explicitly asked to subscribe.
source	string	Where the request came from (e.g. 'mcp_claude_desktop'). Defaults to 'mcp'.
