Competitor intelligence for AI agents

Whatever framework your agent runs on, SimilarIQ plugs in: a hosted MCP server for MCP-native agents, an OpenAPI spec for tool-calling frameworks, zero-dependency SDKs for custom code, and a clean JSON REST API underneath it all.

MCP-native agents (Claude, Cursor, custom MCP clients)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "similariq": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://similariq.ai/mcp",
      "headers": { "X-API-Key": "sk-live-your-api-key" }
    }
  }
}Copy

Tool-calling frameworks (LangChain, OpenAI tools, CrewAI...)

Point your framework's OpenAPI toolkit at the spec:

https://similariq.ai/openapi.jsonCopy

Or define one function that wraps a single POST:

POST https://similariq.ai/api/v1/search
Headers: X-API-Key: sk-live-...
Body: {"domain": "salesforce.com", "limit": 100}
→ {"competitors": [{"rank": 1, "company": "HubSpot", "domain": "hubspot.com", "matchScore": 97, ...}]}Copy

Custom code

npm install similariq-sdk   # Node 18+, TypeScript types
pip install similariq       # Python 3.8+, stdlib onlyCopy

Agent design notes

• Searches are synchronous and take 30-60s — give the tool a 120s timeout, or use start_bulk_search + get_bulk_job for lists.
• Re-reading past results (get_search_results, list_my_companies) is free — cache search IDs and let the agent revisit data without re-spending.
• Failed searches auto-refund, and the agent can call get_search_balance before deciding to search.

The tools it gets

10 tools: find_similar_companies, start_bulk_search, get_bulk_job, list_recent_searches, get_search_results, list_my_companies, save_company, list_saved_companies, create_share_link, get_search_balance. Only searches cost credits (1 per domain); everything else is free. Full details on the MCP page.
