Pesky MCP server
Competitor monitoring for founders, every morning.
Pesky finds the competitors circling a company and reads them every morning. Type a website and it names the 10 closest in about 30 seconds. Keep them watched and it reads homepages, launches, Reddit, LinkedIn, X, and more, then sends one short email on who moved and why it matters. The remote MCP at pesky.ai/api/mcp gives an agent that same dashboard: the list, the morning brief, signals, history, nearby launches, and a site scan.
Who it’s for: Founders, solo makers, and small teams who want an agent that already knows what competitors did this week, instead of checking their sites by hand.

Copy-paste these into your agent once Pesky is connected. Each drives real tools — swap the placeholders in braces for your own.
get_history for the last 7 days and get_signals. Only the high-priority competitors. Say who moved, what changed, and why it matters. Skip anyone who was quiet, but tell me they were checked.
get_latest_brief and summarize it in three bullets: who moved, the one change I should look at, and anything near our moat.
add_competitor for https://rival.example with the name I give you, then set_priority to high. Confirm it's on the list before you change anything else.
scan_site on https://rival.example. Compare its competitors to list_competitors and tell me which ones I'm not watching yet. Don't add any until I say so.
