Discover your competitors' strengths and leverage them to achieve your own success

AI agents are everywhere. But without reliable data, even the smartest AI can fall short of what’s needed.

That’s where Similarweb comes in.

We’re launching the Similarweb MCP server. So you and your AI agents can now access Similarweb data at scale.

And it integrates with popular LLMs and AI tools like Cursor, Claude, n8n, Zapier, and more.

Check out the demo below.

Why are we doing this?

Our clients have told us the same story again and again. AI agents are exciting, but they can’t be trusted without the right data.

The result? Your AI agents can instantly analyze market trends, benchmark competitors, identify growth opportunities, and generate data-backed recommendations with deeper context.

Read on and we’ll explain what this means for your own AI workflows.

How MCP gives your AI data, context, and dynamic access

Remember how you used to have a box of different cables – a different one for every device.

Well, MCP is like the USB socket that tidied that all up.

Unlike a general API, MCP focuses on providing the AI with data and context and how to use them. Often, this can be done through natural language descriptions.

It standardizes how AI agents can discover, understand, and interact with external services dynamically. As a result, AI systems become more autonomous, adaptable, and efficient in leveraging external resources.

Here are some examples of what you can now do with Similarweb’s MCP integration.

Real-world use cases: AI-powered market research and more

MCP (Model Context Protocol) opens the door to countless possibilities, whether you’re a developer building custom apps or a marketer experimenting with no-code tools.

Here are just a few ways you can start using our MCP integration to put Similarweb Digital Data at the center of your AI workflows:

  • Competitor Snapshot: In Claude or Zapier, request a quick traffic and engagement benchmark for a set of competitor sites. Your AI agent returns accurate numbers, making it easy to compare performance without switching tools
  • SEO Assistant: Ask Claude to pull the top keywords driving traffic to your category. Instead of digging through dashboards, you get instant answers grounded in Similarweb data, helping you spot opportunities faster
  • Automated Alerts: Use n8n to trigger daily updates on traffic changes or category shifts, delivered straight to Slack or email. No more manual checks. Your AI keeps you informed in real time
  • Custom AI App: Build a lightweight agent that can answer client questions with verified Similarweb insights, giving your teams a powerful edge in meetings and pitches
  • Customer Insights Agent: Spot look-alike prospects, analyze audience behavior, and uncover new market opportunities. Your AI can surface segments in minutes, powering smarter acquisition and retention strategies

The result: your AI will be analyzing, tracking, and delivering insights that matter as they happen.
