Analook MCP Server

Use Analook from Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client — no installs, no local processes. One HTTPS endpoint, one revocable MCP API key, and eight tools for running and reading competitor analyses from inside your agent workflow.

Endpoint: https://www.analook.com/mcp Transport: Streamable HTTP Protocol: MCP 2024-11-05

🖥️ Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows) and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "analook": {
      "url": "https://www.analook.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer anl_mcp_<YOUR_API_KEY>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after editing. Then ask Claude: "use Analook to analyze linear.app".

⌨️ Cursor

Open Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server. Use the same JSON as above, or manually:

Name:     analook
URL:      https://www.analook.com/mcp
Headers:  Authorization: Bearer anl_mcp_<YOUR_API_KEY>

🔑 Create an MCP API key

Sign in to analook.com
Create a named MCP key below and copy it once
Paste it into the Bearer anl_mcp_<...> slot above
Revoke the key immediately if it is exposed or a device is lost

Keys are scoped to your Analook account, stored hashed server-side, and can be revoked without signing out of the website.

💡 Example agent workflow

Ask your agent: "Analyze my top 3 competitors and tell me where I'm losing."

1. analyze_competitor(url="linear.app")        → job_id: "abc123"
2. analyze_competitor(url="notion.so")         → job_id: "def456"
3. analyze_competitor(url="asana.com")         → job_id: "ghi789"
4. [wait 3 min]
5. get_report("abc123"), get_report("def456"), get_report("ghi789")
6. Agent synthesizes: "Linear leads on DX (open-source energy + GitHub stars),
   Notion on content (blog traffic 3x yours), Asana on enterprise (pricing tier
   gap). Your weak spot: zero Product Hunt presence across 3 launches — all 3
   competitors launched 4+ times."

📊 Limits & pricing

1 credit per analyze_competitor call (same as the web UI)
Owner-only read tools are unlimited; public gallery browsing exposes links only
Reports persist forever by default (server-side storage) — use the job_id in any future session
Free tier: 3 analyses/month · Pro: 30/month · Team: unlimited (see pricing)

🛠️ Troubleshooting

AUTH_REQUIRED on every call: Check the API key prefix, or create a new key and revoke the old one in the key panel above.
INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS: Top up at /pricing or wait for monthly reset.
Tool responds but agent says "not connected": Fully restart the MCP client — Claude Desktop caches server state across reloads.
Still stuck?: Email iris@gingiris.com with your job_id and the failing call.
