Install & run

Connect in a couple of steps — prompt, web connector, or plugin, all read-only with OAuth sign-in (new workspaces get free trial credits):

Paste one prompt (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw, Goose — any agent that manages its own MCP servers): ask it to add the UnifAPI MCP server at https://mcp.unifapi.com — a remote streamable-HTTP, read-only server — and run the OAuth sign-in. No API key to paste.

Web connector — no terminal (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok): add a custom connector pointed at https://mcp.unifapi.com, then authorize over OAuth.

Add the skills in any client with npx skills add unifapi-agent/agents. Claude-compatible hosts (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, OpenClaw) can instead install skills + MCP together as a plugin: /plugin marketplace add unifapi-agent/agents then /plugin install unifapi@unifapi.

Then ask your assistant:

Analyze this competitor's public launch. Pull posts, reactions, videos, hiring signals, and community response across X, LinkedIn, YouTube, Reddit, and news. Summarize positioning, channels, customer language, and risks, and give me a watchlist to re-check weekly.

UnifAPI APIs: seo, browser, twitter, linkedin, youtube, reddit, news, hacker-news — public data only.

FAQ

Can it monitor competitors continuously?

It runs on demand and returns a re-runnable watchlist. Schedule it in your own assistant to get a fresh brief on a cadence; UnifAPI supplies the live records each run.

Does it use anything but public data?

No. Everything is public: posts, public company pages, jobs, videos, and threads. There's no private or leaked data, and every claim links to its source.

How does it relate to Social Listening?

Social Listening watches a topic or your own brand broadly; Competitive Intelligence is aimed at named competitors and their launches. They share several APIs and are often run together.
