competitive-intel

Automate competitor monitoring for an MCP-powered project by triggering a Meta-Cron cycle to run the competitive-intel protocol, which detects meaningful competitor changes and translates them into actionable intelligence. It uses Bootstrap, Discovery, and Monitor modes to cover the competitive intelligence lifecycle.

The best way to bootstrap a competitor watchlist from project context is to use the Bootstrap execution mode. This mode automatically generates a watchlist based on your project context, establishing a baseline for subsequent weekly discovery and daily lightweight monitoring.

Competitive intelligence scoring minimizes noise during daily monitoring by applying conservative reporting discipline. It uses structured scoring, bounded search, and strict watchlist mutation rules to ensure only meaningful competitor changes are reported, maintaining clear provenance for every fact.

Yes, you can schedule competitor discovery and monitoring separately because the protocol operates across distinct execution modes. It performs weekly competitor search in Discovery mode and daily lightweight checks in Monitor mode to inform product strategy and roadmap decisions.

You do not need to manually curate the competitor watchlist during automated discovery because the protocol enforces strict watchlist mutation rules. It automatically manages the watchlist through bounded search and structured scoring with clear provenance for every fact.
