From the repository
Add the server to your MCP client using HTTP transport at https://mcp.askcyborg.com/mcp. For Claude Desktop, edit claude_desktop_config.json with the provided JSON snippet. Tools automatically appear in the model's tool list. Example prompts are available in the README.
search_companies
Search AskCyborg's corpus of company research by name or industry keyword. Returns up to N matches with company name, Cyborg Score, one-line strategic profile, and the URL to the full preview report. Use this first when the user mentions a company you want to research, or to discover companies in a category.
get_company_report
Retrieve AskCyborg's structured research report for a single company. Includes executive summary, Cyborg Score with rationale, strategic profile, top insights, competitive positioning, and recent developments. Returns a paywall-aware summary; the full 30-page report and analyst-debate audio are available at the returned URL.
get_cyborg_score
Retrieve just the Cyborg Score (1-10) for a company. The Cyborg Score is AskCyborg's proprietary rating, synthesized from hundreds of data points across business model, financials, leadership, competitive position, technology, marketing, and ESG. Use this when the user wants a quick rating without the full report context.
compare_companies
Compare 2-5 companies side by side on Cyborg Score, industry, key insights, and competitive positioning. Useful for portfolio decisions, M&A short-listing, or competitive analysis.
find_competitors
Find the named competitors of a company that AskCyborg's analyst panel identified as material to the target's strategic position. Returns each competitor with the one-line strategic tagline AskCyborg uses to characterize them. Useful for competitive landscape analysis, M&A short-listing, or pricing reference checks.
search_by_industry
Find companies in AskCyborg's corpus that operate in a specific industry. Returns up to N companies with their Cyborg Score and one-line strategic profile, ranked by Cyborg Score. Use this for sector mapping, comparable analysis, or to discover companies you didn't know existed in a space.
get_recent_developments
Retrieve the most recent material developments (news, deals, leadership changes, product launches, financial events) that AskCyborg's analyst panel flagged as decision-relevant for this company. Each entry is dated and concise. Use this for news catch-up before a meeting, for monitoring portfolio companies, or to spot recent strategic shifts.
get_top_insights
Retrieve just the top analyst-debate insights for a company — the punchiest, decision-relevant claims that AskCyborg's analyst panel surfaced after stress-testing the company. Faster and more focused than get_company_report when you just need 'what should I know about this company in 60 seconds'.
