IntelCue MCP Server
Live market & competitor intelligence inside Claude and any MCP-compatible AI assistant.
IntelCue is an AI-first competitive and market intelligence
platform. It continuously monitors your sources — newsletters, blogs,
news, YouTube, websites, Google Ads, patents, SEC filings, Certificate Transparency (new subdomains), and more — then analyzes everything for
trending topics, competitive moves, and keywords. This repository
documents the IntelCue MCP server, which exposes that intelligence to AI assistants via
the Model Context Protocol.
Ask your AI assistant about your market and competitors, and it pulls from your live,
continuously-updated IntelCue data automatically. Learn more at
www.intelcue.ai.
What is the IntelCue MCP server?
A hosted, remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP) that gives AI assistants read-only access to
your IntelCue workspace. It scopes every response to your authenticated workspace, so your
data stays private to you.
- Endpoint:
https://api.intelcue.ai/v1/mcp/sse
- Transport: Streamable HTTP (official MCP SDK)
- Auth: your IntelCue API key (
ic_sk_…) — via OAuth, Authorization: Bearer, or the
x-api-key header
Connect
Option 1 — Smithery (easiest)
Install from the Smithery listing and paste your IntelCue API key when
prompted.
Option 2 — Claude Desktop
