# Built for the AI era

> Calven is the product-marketing layer of your AI stack. It runs an MCP server, so the AI tools your team already uses (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) get grounded, cited access to your competitive intel, audience, and messaging, without anyone logging into Calven.

## Calven doesn't replace your AI tools. It grounds them.

A general AI model is a brilliant generalist. Ask it for a competitive deck and it will confidently write one from thin air. Calven's agents do the research and keep a single source of truth current (every competitor, your ICP, your messaging, the exact words your customers use). MCP hands that to your AI tool, so the work it produces is built on what is true about your market, not what the model guessed.

## What MCP is

MCP (the Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI tools connect securely to outside systems. Calven runs an MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini can read your Universe and put your agents to work, without anyone logging into Calven. Two things you can do:

- **Read your Universe**: pull any knowledge your agents have built: a competitor dossier, a battle card, customer verbatims, win/loss answers, your ICP, the product profile.
- **Put your agents to work**: start an agent task without leaving your AI tool: add a competitor and kick off research, hand a file to triage, or queue any job.

## What your team builds over MCP

- Quarterly win/loss report and board-ready competitive decks.
- Live-deal war room: fuse the battle card, real customer objections, and confirmed product facts into a strategy for one deal.
- Customer language bank and customer-evidence packs from real verbatims.
- Market opportunity to GTM business case.
- Score an account list against your ICP.
- Check a draft's product claims against the canonical product profile before publishing.

## How it works

1. **Connect**: point Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini at your Calven MCP server once. Each person connects with their own access.
2. **Ask**: in your own AI tool, ask it to pull from your Universe: a competitor dossier, win/loss answers, your ICP, the product profile, whatever the work needs.
3. **Get**: it builds the report, deck, or copy you asked for, grounded in your Universe and cited back to the source. Nothing invented.

Product marketers drive Calven in the app; everyone else reaches the same Universe through Slack, the API, or MCP in their own AI tool.
