Connect a client
Connect Competitor Tracker & Co. to your MCP client: copy-paste setup for Claude, Codex, Cursor, Zed, Cline and more, pointing at one Streamable HTTP endpoint.
The endpoint is one URL: https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp. Most clients need only that — on first use they run the OAuth handshake, so you sign in and pick an organization once. Clients with nobody at the keyboard (automations, headless agents) skip that and send an API key on the X-API-Key header instead.
Each client below has its own section you can link straight to. If yours isn't here and it speaks remote MCP over Streamable HTTP, hand it the endpoint URL and it should behave like the rest. See also Use an API key instead and Clients without remote MCP.
Claude
In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector, then paste the endpoint as the server URL. The first tool call sends you through sign-in and an organization picker. In Claude Code, run:
claude mcp add --transport http competitor-tracker https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcpCodex
OpenAI Codex reads ~/.codex/config.toml. Add the server there:
[mcp_servers.competitor-tracker]
url = "https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp"The first tool call opens the browser for sign-in and an organization picker. For a headless run, send a key instead with http_headers = { "X-API-Key" = "ctk_your_key_here" }.
Cursor
Add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"competitor-tracker": {
"url": "https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp"
}
}
}Enable it in Cursor's MCP settings, then sign in when the first tool runs.
VS Code
Add an HTTP server to .vscode/mcp.json (or your user settings):
{
"servers": {
"competitor-tracker": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp"
}
}
}Windsurf
Add the server to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"competitor-tracker": {
"serverUrl": "https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp"
}
}
}Cline
Open Cline's MCP Servers panel and add a remote server, or edit cline_mcp_settings.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"competitor-tracker": {
"type": "streamableHttp",
"url": "https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp"
}
}
}Zed
Zed runs MCP servers as context servers. Bridge to the endpoint from settings.json:
{
"context_servers": {
"competitor-tracker": {
"command": {
"path": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp"]
}
}
}
}OpenCode
Add the server to opencode.json:
{
"mcp": {
"competitor-tracker": {
"type": "remote",
"url": "https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp",
"enabled": true
}
}
}ChatGPT
In ChatGPT (paid plans), open Settings → Connectors and add a custom connector at the endpoint URL https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp. The OAuth prompt handles sign-in.
Perplexity
In Perplexity, open Settings → Connectors and add a custom MCP connector at the endpoint URL https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp. Sign in when prompted.
Gemini
The Gemini CLI reads ~/.gemini/settings.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"competitor-tracker": {
"httpUrl": "https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp"
}
}
}Raycast
In Raycast, add a remote MCP server from the AI settings at the endpoint URL https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp. Sign in via OAuth, or send an API key.
Zapier
Where Zapier lets you add a remote MCP server, point it at the endpoint URL https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp and send the X-API-Key header.
n8n
Add an MCP Client Tool node, set the endpoint URL https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp to Streamable HTTP, and give it an X-API-Key header credential.
Make
Add an MCP connection in Make at the endpoint URL https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp with the X-API-Key header.
Microsoft Copilot
In Copilot Studio, add the server as an MCP tool at the endpoint URL https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp with the X-API-Key header.
Manus
In Manus, add an MCP integration at the endpoint URL https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp. Sign in via OAuth, or send the X-API-Key header.
Use an API key instead
To skip the sign-in flow (handy for a script or a headless agent), send an API key on the X-API-Key header. Clients that take custom headers accept it inline:
{
"mcpServers": {
"competitor-tracker": {
"url": "https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-API-Key": "ctk_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}Mint a key from API keys.
Clients without remote MCP
A client that only speaks the local stdio transport can bridge to the endpoint with mcp-remote:
{
"mcpServers": {
"competitor-tracker": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.competitortracker.io/mcp"]
}
}
}To use a key rather than the OAuth flow, append --header "X-API-Key: ctk_your_key_here" to the args.
