Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security46
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- Authorisation not fully verified: no authorisation is required to call this server, and 12 tool(s) never declared a destructiveHint. The MCP spec treats an absent hint as destructive by default, so we cannot call this surface safe. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Unverified
- HTTPS check failed: the endpoint is reachable over plaintext HTTP. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC check failed: this domain isn't protected by DNSSEC. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability84
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1783 tokens (~137/item across 13 items; 12 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 12 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 14 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
How do I install the IndustryLens MCP server?
IndustryLens is a hosted endpoint at https://api.industry-lens.com/mcp/public, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
find_competitors Find who competes with a company ~101
Given a company domain or name, return the other companies IndustryLens tracks in the same market. Returns { covered: false } for companies not publicly tracked.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | – | Company domain or homepage URL (e.g. 'apollo.io'). Preferred. |
| limit | integer | – | Max competitors (default 10, max 50). |
| name | string | – | Company name (e.g. 'Apollo'). Used when no domain is given. |
No output schema declared.

|---|---|---|---|
| slug | string | yes | Comparison slug from list_comparisons. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_competitive_profile Get a competitive profile for a company ~145
Use when the user asks who competes with a company, what a competitor recently did, or for a competitive overview of a domain. Input a company domain or name and get a privacy-safe profile: firmographics, 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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | – | Company domain or homepage URL (e.g. 'apollo.io'). Preferred — most precise. |

get_competitor_moves_diff Get a competitor's dated change feed ~185
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). Use when the user asks what changed, what's new, or wants a timeline of a competitor's moves — optionally since a given date. Input a domain or name. Returns { covered: false } with a CTA for companies not publicly tracked.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| domain | string | – | Company domain or homepage URL (e.g. 'apollo.io'). Preferred — most precise. |
| limit | integer | – | Max moves (default 20, max 50). |

Given a market (a vertical slug or name), return 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.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| market | string | yes | A vertical slug (exact) or market name (ILIKE), e.g. 'sales-intelligence' or 'sales intelligence'. |

get_pricing_changes Get recent competitor pricing changes ~174
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. The feed spans the markets IndustryLens publicly tracks. No other public source exposes structured competitor pricing-diffs like this.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| competitor | string | – | Competitor name or domain (e.g. 'Apollo' or 'apollo.io'). Omit for a market-wide recent pricing feed. |
| limit | integer | – | Max changes (default 20, max 50). |

No examples provided.
get_report Get a full IndustryLens report ~124
Fetch the full body of a published report by slug. Returns the report's structured fields plus content_html (the canonical body). pdf_url is currently empty for every report (PDF generation is disabled pipeline-side); do not construct or suggest a .pdf URL — there is no such route. Point users to the report's web URL, or to the site's gated PDF-download form if one exists.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| slug | string | yes | Report slug from list_reports (e.g. '/devops-hiring-q1-2026' or 'devops-hiring-q1-2026'). |
