IndustryLens does not always answer

Over the last week it answered 99.1% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Available tools 12

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

competitor

get_competitor_moves_diff

The dated CHANGE-FEED for one competitor: every real was→now strategic shift IndustryLens detected, newest-first, each stamped with its real analysis date (never a fabricated date). Use when the user asks what changed, what's new, or wants a timeline of a competitor's moves — optionally since a given date. Input a domain or name. Returns { covered: false } with a CTA for companies not publicly tracked.

list_competitor_moves

Recent tracked strategic moves for one competitor, newest-first — the existence of each shift plus a was→now summary and the real analysis date (never a fabricated date). Returns { covered: false } for companies IndustryLens doesn't publicly track, and an empty list for covered companies with no moves detected yet.

comparison

get_comparison

Fetch the full structured body of a published competitor comparison by slug. Returns content_json (the structured breakdown: pricing, recent moves, positioning, displacement signals, when-to-choose, etc.) plus metadata.

comparisons

list_comparisons

Browse published competitor-vs-competitor breakdowns. Optionally filter by a competitor name (matches either side). Each item has a slug usable with get_comparison. URLs follow https://industry-lens.com/compare/<slug>.

competitive

get_competitive_profile

Use when the user asks who competes with a company, what a competitor recently did, or for a competitive overview of a domain. Input a company domain or name and get a privacy-safe profile: firmographics, recent strategic moves (the existence of a shift + a was→now summary, with the real analysis date), and links to published reports/comparisons. Returns { covered: false } for companies IndustryLens doesn't publicly track.

competitors

find_competitors

Given a company domain or name, return the other companies IndustryLens tracks in the same market. Returns { covered: false } for companies not publicly tracked.

market

get_market_landscape

Given a market (a vertical slug or name), return the published category overview plus every player IndustryLens tracks in that market — the whole-CATEGORY map, not a self-selected competitor set. Returns the hub (title, abstract, tldr, hero_stats, url), the deduped list of players (name, domain, business_model), and `market_news` — the latest weekly market summary (narrative, top topics, new entrants, topic momentum, source URLs). Returns { covered: false } for markets IndustryLens doesn't publicly track. Use list_markets to discover slugs.

markets

list_markets

List the B2B SaaS markets (categories) IndustryLens monitors. Each item has a `slug` usable with get_market_landscape for the full category map. Ordered by name.

pricing

get_pricing_changes

Structured pricing/packaging changes IndustryLens has detected — each with a change_type, severity, materiality score, a plain-language summary, and the real detection date. Pass a `competitor` (name or domain) to scope to one company, or omit it for a recent pricing feed. The feed spans the markets IndustryLens publicly tracks. No other public source exposes structured competitor pricing-diffs like this.

report

get_report

Fetch the full body of a published report by slug. Returns the report's structured fields plus content_html (the canonical body). pdf_url is currently empty for every report (PDF generation is disabled pipeline-side); do not construct or suggest a .pdf URL — there is no such route. Point users to the report's web URL, or to the site's gated PDF-download form if one exists.

reports

list_reports

Browse published competitive-intelligence reports. Filter by industry or target_role; results are ordered newest-first. Each returned item has a slug usable with get_report. URLs follow https://industry-lens.com/reports/<slug>.

subscribe_to_newsletter

Sign the user up for IndustryLens's weekly intelligence-report newsletter. Use this only after the user explicitly asks to subscribe — never subscribe an email without their direct, informed consent. The source argument is recorded for attribution and defaults to 'mcp'.

IndustryLens — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can IndustryLens do?

It exposes 12 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_competitors, get_comparison, get_competitive_profile, get_competitor_moves_diff, get_market_landscape, get_pricing_changes and 6 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is IndustryLens working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 222 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect IndustryLens?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does IndustryLens need an API key?

No. IndustryLens completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 12 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is IndustryLens?

It answers our handshake in 222 ms on average, which is faster than 62% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is IndustryLens open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
