**Know what's protectable before competitors copy it.**

FITTIN is an AI-native startup protection and defensibility platform for founders and builders.
This MCP server connects Cursor and Claude to FITTIN so you can run a free Startup Protection Check
right from your editor — describe your project, get a structured analysis in ~2 minutes.

The moment your code ships, it's publicly disclosed. Most founders skip protection and discover the
risk only when a larger, better-funded company copies their product. FITTIN makes it a 2-minute check
before you launch.

## What FITTIN analyzes

- **Clone risk** — how easy is it for competitors to replicate your product?
- **Defensibility** — what parts of your stack, workflow, or architecture are hard to copy?
- **Startup moat** — what gives you sustainable competitive advantage?
- **Protectable features** — what can be patented, kept as trade secret, or documented as prior art?
- **Investor readiness** — does your IP position hold up in due diligence?
- **Pre-launch protection** — what to do before you ship to establish your priority date?
