API & MCP

Your competitor intelligence, in the AI tools you use

A read-only REST API and an MCP server. Assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code answer from what Orlea tracked for your workspace, and link every claim back to the change it came from.

What did Brisklane change in pricing this month?

Read from Orleasearch_changescompetitor: Brisklane · category: pricing · since: Oct 12 changes

Two changes. On October 14 Brisklane cut Pro from $49 to $39 a month and moved SSO into it1. On October 22 it lengthened its free trial from 14 to 30 days2.

Orlea's interpretation

Both make Pro cheaper to try and to commit to: a push for mid-market deals.

How it works

Three steps, then it runs itself.

01
Create a key
An owner or admin makes one in Settings → API, named after where it will be used. It is shown once; Orlea keeps only a fingerprint.
Key created
- NameClaude · Maja
- AccessRead only, this workspace
- ExpiresIn 90 days
- StoredA fingerprint, not the key
02
Connect your tool
Add Orlea's server address to Claude or ChatGPT and sign in, give Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code the address and a key, or send the key with requests to the REST API.

Ask, or read
Your assistant calls Orlea's tools and answers with links to each change; your own code reads the same data as JSON.

Product tour

See the change behind an answer.

The API isn't part of the tour. What it returns is: step through one change as Orlea records it, the facts, the evidence and the interpretation kept apart, as an assistant reads and cites it.

Take the tour

For AI assistants

Connect once, then just ask.

Orlea's MCP server gives an assistant eight read-only tools. It decides which to call, and answers from your workspace with links back to each change, so you can check every claim.

Assistants that connect today

ClaudeSign in
On the web or in Claude Desktop: add a custom connector with the server address, then connect, sign in to Orlea and pick the workspace. On Claude's Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds the connector once and each person connects with their own Orlea account.
ChatGPTSign in
In developer mode, create a connector with the server address and OAuth, then sign in to Orlea and pick the workspace. Availability depends on the ChatGPT plan.
Claude CodeSign in or API key
One command in a terminal, then /mcp to sign in to Orlea in the browser. In scripts, send an API key as a header instead.
```
claude mcp add --transport http orlea https://app.orlea.com/api/mcp
```
CursorAPI key
Add Orlea to ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or to a project's .cursor/mcp.json, with the key from your environment.
VS CodeAPI key
Add Orlea to .vscode/mcp.json. VS Code asks for the key once and keeps it in its secret storage.

For your own code

The same data, as JSON.

A versioned REST API for a data warehouse, an internal dashboard or a script. Lists page with a cursor, and an unknown parameter is an error, never silently ignored.

Shortened: a change also carries its source, summary, tags, triage state and when Orlea recorded it.

Product prices
Your products' price positions and competitors' price moves, on Pro, Team and Enterprise.

Security and limits

Read-only, one workspace, yours to revoke.

The API and MCP server come with Pro, Team and Enterprise. A key carries no more than its maker could read in the app, and you can stop it at any moment.

What a key can do

Read only: Every endpoint and every tool reads. Nothing can be created, changed or deleted through a key.
One workspace: A key opens the workspace it was made in and nothing else. An id from any other workspace answers as if it didn't exist.
Shown once, stored as a fingerprint: A random 32-byte key, shown once when it is made. Orlea keeps its SHA-256 hash, never the key.
Revocable, and can expire: Revoke a key in Settings → API and it stops at once. It can expire after 30 days, 90 days or a year, or run until revoked.
Tied to an admin: Only owners and admins make keys, and a key works only while its maker is still one. Remove or demote them and their keys stop.
Keys only, no browser access: The API never reads a signed-in browser session, and other websites can't call it from a visitor's browser.

Limits

Rate limits: 120 requests a minute per key and 300 per workspace. Past that, the answer says when to retry.
Keys per workspace: Up to 25 at a time: one per tool or assistant, so each can be revoked alone.
Usage you can see: Settings → API shows each key's maker, when it was last used and its requests over 30 days, through MCP and in all.
Connected apps: Assistants that sign in read as the person who connected them, in the one workspace they picked, until an admin disconnects them in Settings → API. Not yet: write access, and managing webhooks through the API.

Plans

Starter, €49 a month: Not included.
Pro, €129 a month: API and MCP server included.
Team, €349 a month: API and MCP server included.
Enterprise: API and MCP server included.
Free trial: Included, so you can connect an assistant before you choose a plan.

How we protect your workspace overall: Security. Prices and every plan's limits: Pricing.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes, where ChatGPT offers custom connectors (developer mode; it depends on the ChatGPT plan). Add Orlea's server address, sign in to Orlea and pick the workspace: ChatGPT then reads it as you, read-only. Claude connects the same way; Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code can also use an API key.

Can an assistant change anything in Orlea?

No. Every endpoint and every tool only reads. Triage, rules and settings stay in the app, and there is no write access through the API.

Which plans include it?

Pro, Team and Enterprise, and the free trial. It isn't on Starter. Client workspaces under an agency plan don't offer it yet. A workspace that moves to a plan without it keeps its keys, refused until the plan has it again.

Do questions an assistant asks Orlea count as mine?

They count as asked by the key's maker, or by the person who connected the assistant: toward their 30 questions an hour, and in their recent questions, marked "Via API".

Where is the documentation?

In the app, under Settings → API: every endpoint and tool, and the setup for each assistant. The OpenAPI 3.1 description is public at /api/v1/openapi.json, for Postman, Insomnia or a client generator.
