# How to Map Your Competitive Landscape with Claude

## Steps

1. Connect ToolRouter to Claude: claude mcp add toolrouter -- npx -y toolrouter-mcp
2. Ask Claude: "Research competitors in the project management SaaS space using the competitor-research tool"
3. Claude calls research_competitor and returns a detailed breakdown of key players
4. Ask follow-up: "Categorize these competitors by market segment and threat level"
5. Request: "Identify any emerging competitors or startups I should watch"

## Example Prompt
