Best MCP Server for Competitor Analysis (2026)

December 7, 2025
TL;DR
The best MCP server for competitor analysis in 2026 depends on your workflow and budget. For keyword-related competitor analysis tasks, Delulu9 ($12/mo) offers a production-ready MCP server with Google, Bing, and Reddit data. Below we compare the top options and show how to set up competitor analysis workflows in Claude Code and Cursor.

Why Use an MCP Server for Competitor Analysis?

Competitor Analysis traditionally requires switching between browser-based tools, spreadsheets, and your development environment. An MCP server eliminates that context switching by bringing competitor analysis data directly into your AI assistant.

Instead of copying data from BrightLocal into a chat window, you ask Claude or Cursor to run the analysis. The MCP server fetches live data, and the AI interprets it in context. This is faster and produces better results because the AI sees the full picture.

Top MCP Options for Competitor Analysis

1. Delulu9 – Best for Keyword-Driven Competitor Analysis

Delulu9 is the most complete MCP server for competitor analysis when keywords are involved. It provides:

For competitor analysis specifically, Delulu9 excels because it combines data sources that other tools keep separate. You get a unified view of keyword opportunities across search engines and Reddit discussions.

2. Community Wrappers for Dedicated Tools

If you need competitor analysis capabilities beyond keyword research (like Above the Fold), community-built MCP wrappers for tools like BrightLocal and SpyFu can help. These wrap existing APIs but require separate subscriptions and more setup effort.

3. Custom MCP Servers

For advanced competitor analysis workflows, you can build a custom MCP server using the MCP SDK. This makes sense if you have proprietary data sources or need to combine multiple APIs into a single interface.

How to Set Up Competitor Analysis with MCP

Claude Code Setup

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "delulu9": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@delulu9/seo-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "DELULU9_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Once connected, you can ask Claude:

Cursor Setup

Add the same configuration to Cursor’s MCP settings. The protocol is identical, so any MCP server that works in Claude Code also works in Cursor.

Competitor Analysis MCP Workflow Examples

Quick Competitor Analysis Check

Ask your AI assistant: “Run a quick competitor analysis check for [your domain/keyword]. Summarize the top findings.”

The MCP server fetches the data, and the AI presents actionable insights without you leaving your editor.

Deep Competitor Analysis Analysis

For thorough competitor analysis, chain multiple MCP queries:

  1. Pull seed keywords for your niche
  2. Analyze search intent distribution
  3. Identify keyword gaps vs competitors
  4. Generate a prioritized action list

This entire workflow happens in a single AI conversation.
