## Ask RivalSweeper (Customer MCP)

Existing RivalSweeper customers can let AI assistants (for example, Cursor) access their own monitored
domains, competitor comparisons, and analytics through the Model Context Protocol. See
`https://www.rivalsweeper.com/features/rivalsweeper-mcp` for authentication and setup. This customer MCP
requires an account and bearer token; the public Signals API above does not.
