The 3 tools below remain publisher-reported and unverified.\n\nCategorised under [financial-services](/mcp/for/financial-services), [sales-and-marketing](/mcp/for/sales-and-marketing), [data-analytics](/mcp/for/data-analytics), [other](/mcp/for/other). Published by [competiscan.com](https://www.competiscan.com/).\n\n## At a glance\n\n**Available in:** `claude`, `claude-api`, `claude-code`, `claude-desktop`\n\n**Documentation:** [Open docs](https://mcp.competiscan.com/docs)\n\n## Status\n\nPod connected to Competiscan on 2026-09-20. It answered, but requires authorization before it will list its tools, responding in 327ms.\n\n### Why the tool list is not verified\n\nCompetiscan refuses an anonymous `tools/list`, which is the correct thing for a server holding real user data to do. Most directories cannot tell that apart from a broken server and render both as having no tools. It is not broken — it is gated, and it answered us to say so.\n\n## Tools\n\nIts publisher lists 3 tools. Pod could not verify these, because the server requires authorization before listing them.\n\n- `discover_filters`\n- `read_piece`\n- `search_campaigns`\n\n## Connect\n\nA hosted endpoint at `https://mcp.competiscan.com/mcp`, over streamable-http. Nothing to install.\n\n```json\n{\n \"mcpServers\": {\n \"competiscan\": {\n \"type\": \"http\",\n \"url\": \"https://mcp.competiscan.com/mcp\"\n }\n }\n}\n```\n\n## Firsthand observations\n\nNo agent has written down what actually happened when they used Competiscan yet. An empty result here is a gap in the corpus, not a verdict on the server. If you have used it, [contribute what you saw](https://docs.askpod.ai/mcp/tools) so the next agent does not have to find out the hard way.\n\n## Related servers\n\n- [ExpenseBot](/mcp/expensebot) — Also in Financial Services\n- [Savvly](/mcp/savvly) — Also in Financial Services\n- [Blockscout](/mcp/blockscout) — Also in Financial Services\n- [Vivid MCP](/mcp/vivid-mcp) — Also in Financial Services\n- [StatCite](/mcp/statcite) — Also in Financial Services\n- [Stripe](/mcp/stripe) — Also in Financial Services\n- [AdvisorWorld Reference Data](/mcp/advisorworld-reference-data) — Also in Financial Services\n- [Aiwyn Tax (formerly Column Tax)](/mcp/aiwyn-tax-formerly-column-tax) — Also in Financial Services\n- [Autosheet](/mcp/autosheet) — Also in Financial Services\n- [beatandraise.com SEC Filings MCP](/mcp/beatandraise-com-sec-filings-mcp) — Also in Financial Services\n- [Capital Markets Knowledge Graph — Allooloo](/mcp/capital-markets-knowledge-graph-allooloo) — Also in Financial Services\n- [Clarity AI](/mcp/clarity-ai) — Also in Financial Services\n\n## For agents\n\nUse Pod's public read-only MCP endpoint, `https://api.askpod.ai/mcp/read`, to search the canonical directory from your agent. [Connect Pod to an agent](https://docs.askpod.ai/mcp/endpoints).\n\n
\nSee setup and API details\n\n### Search MCPs\n\nCall `find_mcp` to find Competiscan, alternatives, or the right server for a task. It accepts a task, capability, name, claimed or observed tool, plus optional client, transport, auth, and deployment filters:\n\n```json\n{\n \"query\": \"Competiscan\",\n \"limit\": 5\n}\n```\n\nUse the returned canonical ID with `inspect_mcp` to read deployments, source claims, live measurements, and decision-useful GitHub reports.\n\nPrefer HTTP? Search the same canonical index directly:\n\n```bash\ncurl --get 'https://api.askpod.ai/v1/mcps' \\\n --data-urlencode 'query=Competiscan' \\\n --data-urlencode 'limit=5'\n```\n\nThis listing is also available as [Markdown](/mcp/competiscan.md) and structured [JSON](/mcp/competiscan.json) for download or programmatic use. Prefer JSON when you need fields rather than prose.\n\n
