What is the AskCyborg MCP Server?

The AskCyborg MCP server gives AI agents structured, permission-aware access to AskCyborg through the Model Context Protocol. With 8 pre-built actions, agents can read, create, and update AskCyborg data on behalf of authorized users.

Willow ships the AskCyborg MCP server as part of an enterprise control plane. Every call runs behind SSO (Okta, Azure AD), enforces RBAC and least-privilege at runtime, writes to a full audit trail, and integrates with Splunk and Loki for SIEM visibility. Connect from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code, n8n, or any custom agent. Install once, distribute org-wide, and see exactly how AskCyborg is being used by every AI agent in your stack.

Tools

search_companies

Search AskCyborg's corpus of company research by name or industry keyword. Returns up to N matches with company name, Cyborg Score, one-line strategic profile, and the URL to the full preview report. Use this first when the user mentions a company you want to research, or to discover companies in a category.

get_company_report

Retrieve AskCyborg's structured research report for a single company. Includes executive summary, Cyborg Score with rationale, strategic profile, top insights, competitive positioning, and recent developments. Returns a paywall-aware summary; the full 30-page report and analyst-debate audio are available at the returned URL.

get_cyborg_score

Retrieve just the Cyborg Score (1-10) for a company. The Cyborg Score is AskCyborg's proprietary rating, synthesized from hundreds of data points across business model, financials, leadership, competitive position, technology, marketing, and ESG. Use this when the user wants a quick rating without the full report context.

compare_companies

Compare 2-5 companies side by side on Cyborg Score, industry, key insights, and competitive positioning. Useful for portfolio decisions, M&A short-listing, or competitive analysis.

find_competitors

Find the named competitors of a company that AskCyborg's analyst panel identified as material to the target's strategic position. Returns each competitor with the one-line strategic tagline AskCyborg uses to characterize them. Useful for competitive landscape analysis, M&A short-listing, or pricing reference checks.

search_by_industry

Find companies in AskCyborg's corpus that operate in a specific industry. Returns up to N companies with their Cyborg Score and one-line strategic profile, ranked by Cyborg Score. Use this for sector mapping, comparable analysis, or to discover companies you didn't know existed in a space.

get_recent_developments

Retrieve the most recent material developments (news, deals, leadership changes, product launches, financial events) that AskCyborg's analyst panel flagged as decision-relevant for this company. Each entry is dated and concise. Use this for news catch-up before a meeting, for monitoring portfolio companies, or to spot recent strategic shifts.

get_top_insights

Retrieve just the top analyst-debate insights for a company — the punchiest, decision-relevant claims that AskCyborg's analyst panel surfaced after stress-testing the company. Faster and more focused than get_company_report when you just need 'what should I know about this company in 60 seconds'.

Enterprise Governance for AskCyborg

Willow adds the layer AskCyborg and every other SaaS doesn't ship out of the box: every call runs behind SSO (Okta, Azure AD), enforces RBAC and least-privilege at runtime, writes to full audit logs, and detects shadow AI usage across your stack. One MCP gateway. Any agent. Every tool.

AskCyborg MCP Server FAQ

What is the AskCyborg MCP server?

The AskCyborg MCP server is a Model Context Protocol implementation that lets AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT read and write AskCyborg data through a standardized interface. Willow hosts and governs this server so enterprises can roll it out without a security review backlog.

How is Willow's AskCyborg MCP server different from the official one?

The official AskCyborg MCP server is scoped to a single user's account and does not include enterprise governance. Willow's version adds SSO, RBAC, audit logging, shadow AI detection, and centralized control over which actions agents can take across the entire org.

Which AI clients work with the AskCyborg MCP server?

Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code with MCP support, n8n, and any custom agent built with OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, or Anthropic SDK.

Is the AskCyborg MCP server secure? How does Willow handle authentication?

Every call runs behind your existing SSO (Okta, Azure AD). Per-user OAuth scopes the agent to exactly what that user can do in AskCyborg, nothing more. No credentials reach the LLM. Every action writes to an audit trail.

Can I limit which AskCyborg actions agents can take?

Yes. Willow lets you scope agents to specific actions, specific projects, or specific environments. Toggle actions on or off in the dashboard, or enforce policy via infrastructure-as-code through GitHub.

How do I detect shadow AskCyborg MCP servers in my org?

Willow's browser extension and discovery service surface unmanaged MCP servers, skills, and AI agents across the org. If a developer installed an unapproved AskCyborg MCP locally, you'll see it.

What does the AskCyborg MCP server cost?

Pricing depends on org size and deployment model (SaaS, dedicated cloud, self-host). See withwillow.ai/pricing or contact sales for a quote.

How do I install the AskCyborg MCP server with Willow?

Install via the Willow Connect Panel in one click, or paste the JSON snippet above into your Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code config. SSO and RBAC inherit from your existing Willow setup.
