Put your own value in place of <RIVALIZE_API_KEY> (Your Rivalize API key (rk_live_...). Create one at rivalize.ai under Settings, API Keys. Free plans get rate-limited reads). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: RIVALIZE_API_URL (Origin of the Rivalize API that issued your key. Leave unset for rivalize.ai), RIVALIZE_MCP_ALLOW_WRITES (Set to 1, true or yes to register add_competitor, which spends credits. Read-only when unset).

Rivalize — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Rivalize?
Rivalize runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @rivalize/mcp was installed 287 times last week.
How do I connect Rivalize?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @rivalize/mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Rivalize?
The npm package @rivalize/mcp was installed 287 times in the last week. Week over week that is +770%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Rivalize open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript 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.
