SimilarIQ in Cursor
Bring competitor intelligence into your editor. Add SimilarIQ's hosted MCP server to Cursor and ask the agent for competitor lists, market research, and look-alike prospects while you build.
Setup
Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json globally):
{
"mcpServers": {
"similariq": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://similariq.ai/mcp",
"headers": { "X-API-Key": "sk-live-your-api-key" }
}
}
}Cursor will show similariq under MCP servers with 10 tools available. Get a key at similariq.ai/app → API Keys.

Frequently asked questions
What does SimilarIQ return for a domain?
The top 100 competitors, look-alikes, and similar companies for any company website — each with a 0-100 match score, relationship type (Direct, Indirect, Adjacent, Emerging), a confidence score, and a likely-competitor flag.
How much does it cost?
1 credit per search (up to 100 results). Plans from $6/month ($0.10-$0.24 per search) or pay-as-you-go at $0.50 per search. Free trial searches on signup; failed searches auto-refund.
Does this need a local server or npm package?
No — SimilarIQ MCP is fully hosted at https://similariq.ai/mcp over streamable HTTP. Nothing to install, nothing to keep running, always the latest version.
