Getting started with ContextBolt Radar
Set up ContextBolt Radar in one conversation. Connect your agent, name up to five competitors, get an instant teardown, then it runs itself.
Setup is one short conversation with your agent. Connect it, name your competitors, tell it what you sell, and get an instant read. After that, Radar runs on its own.
1. Subscribe
Grab a plan from the ContextBolt Radar page. Right after you subscribe, you get a private MCP URL by email. Treat it like a password, since anyone with it can reach your account.
2. Connect your agent
Paste that URL into your agent once. Name the connection contextbolt-radar so it is easy to spot.
Full per-client steps for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex and more are on Connect your agent. In Claude Code it is one line:
claude mcp add --transport http contextbolt-radar <your ContextBolt Radar URL>Restart your client so it loads the new tools.
3. Name your competitors
Tell your agent who to watch. Up to five.
“Watch my competitors: acme.com, rival.io and matter.com.”
Radar starts tracking their pricing page, homepage, changelog, sitemap and search footprint.
4. Tell it what you sell
One line of context makes every briefing sharper, because Radar judges each change for you instead of generically.
“For context, I sell a flat-rate competitor monitoring tool for small teams.”
Now a rival’s move is read through your lens, for example “they moved into your price band.”
5. Get an instant teardown
You don’t have to wait for the first nightly run. Ask for a deep read now.
“Give me a teardown of acme.com.”
You get an analyst-style read of that competitor across every surface, plus it sets the baseline that future changes are measured against.
6. Then it runs itself
That is the whole setup. From here, Radar checks the pages every night, folds in search data weekly, and emails your briefing every Monday when something moved. You can also ask any time, “what did my competitors do this week?”
