Add IndustryLens to Gemini

Install

The consumer Gemini app does not support custom MCP connectors yet (only a few partner connectors). The working path today is Gemini CLI — or use Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Grok above.

~/.gemini/settings.json (Gemini CLI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "industrylens": {
      "httpUrl": "https://api.industry-lens.com/mcp/public"
    }
  }
}

Steps

1. Install Gemini CLI, then open (or create) ~/.gemini/settings.json (or .gemini/settings.json in a project).
2. Add the industrylens entry under mcpServers (see the block above).
3. Restart Gemini CLI and ask a competitive question.

Verify it worked

Gemini CLI lists the industrylens server on start; ask "Find competitors for clay.com".

Try these prompts

• “Who competes with apollo.io?”
• “What did Clay recently change in its go-to-market?”
• “Give me a competitive profile of ramp.com.”
• “List recent strategic moves for ZoomInfo.”
• “Find competitors for cognism.com.”
