Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 4 months ago.
Which apps can use it?

IntelCue MCP Server
Live market & competitor intelligence inside Claude and any MCP-compatible AI assistant.
IntelCue is an AI-first competitive and market intelligence platform. It continuously monitors your sources — newsletters, blogs, news, YouTube, websites, Google Ads, patents, SEC filings, Certificate Transparency (new subdomains), and more — then analyzes everything for trending topics, competitive moves, and keywords. This repository documents the IntelCue MCP server, which exposes that intelligence to AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol.
Ask your AI assistant about your market and competitors, and it pulls from your live,
continuously-updated IntelCue data automatically. Learn more at
[www.intelcue.ai](https://www.intelcue.ai).
