get_competitor

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/tools.ts:57-66 (registration)

  Tool registration entry for 'get_competitor' in the tools array. Defines name, description, Zod schema (projectId, competitorId), and path template (/v1/projects/{projectId}/competitors/{competitorId}).

  {
    name: "get_competitor",
    description:
      "Get competitor details including monitored pages (homepage URL, pricing page URL) and configuration. Use this when you need specific competitor metadata beyond what list_competitors provides — for example, to find which URLs are being tracked. Requires competitorId from list_competitors. Read-only. Returns JSON object.",
    parameters: z.object({
      projectId: objectId("Project ID (from list_projects)"),
      competitorId: objectId("Competitor ID (from list_competitors)"),
    }),
    path: (a) => `/v1/projects/${a.projectId}/competitors/${a.competitorId}`,
  },

• src/index.ts:16-25 (handler)

  Generic handler that iterates all tool definitions (including get_competitor) and calls the CompetLab API via apiGet using the tool's path and query parameters.

  for (const tool of tools) {
    server.tool(tool.name, tool.description, tool.parameters.shape, async (args: Record<string, any>) => {
      const path = tool.path(args);
      const query: Record<string, any> = {};
      for (const key of tool.queryParams ?? []) {
        if (args[key] !== undefined) query[key] = args[key];
      }
      return apiGet(path, Object.keys(query).length ? query : undefined);
    });
  }

• src/api-client.ts:1-58 (helper)

  The apiGet helper function that makes authenticated HTTP GET requests to the CompetLab API (https://api.competlab.com) for all tools including get_competitor.

  const API_BASE = "https://api.competlab.com";
  
  export async function apiGet(
    path: string,
    query?: Record<string, string | number>,
  ): Promise<{ content: Array<{ type: "text"; text: string }>; isError?: true }> {
    const apiKey = process.env.COMPETLAB_API_KEY;
    if (!apiKey) {
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: JSON.stringify({
              error: "api_key_missing",
              message: "COMPETLAB_API_KEY environment variable is not set",
            }),
          },
        ],
        isError: true,
      };
    }
  
    const url = new URL(`${API_BASE}${path}`);
    if (query) {
      for (const [k, v] of Object.entries(query)) {
        if (v !== undefined) url.searchParams.set(k, String(v));
      }
    }
  
    try {
      const res = await fetch(url, {
        headers: { "CL-API-Key": apiKey },
      });
  
      const body = await res.text();
  
      if (!res.ok) {
        return { content: [{ type: "text", text: body }], isError: true };
      }
  
      return { content: [{ type: "text", text: body }] };
    } catch (err) {
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: JSON.stringify({
              error: "api_unreachable",
              message:
                err instanceof Error ? err.message : "Failed to reach CompetLab API",
              status: 503,
            }),
          },
        ],
        isError: true,
      };
    }
