## 🏗️ Architecture Components

### 1. **MCP Server** (`mcp_server.py`)
The backend service layer with 5 specialized tools:

| Tool | Function | Input | Output |
|------|----------|-------|--------|
| `validate_company()` | Verify company existence | Company name | "✓ VALID" or "✗ NOT VALID" |
| `identify_sector()` | Determine industry | Company name | Sector name (Technology, Finance, etc.) |
| `identify_competitors()` | Find top 3 rivals | Sector + Company | "Comp1, Comp2, Comp3" |
| `browse_page()` | Extract web content | URL + Instructions | Relevant text from page |
| `generate_report()` | Create analysis | Company + Context | Formatted Markdown report |

**Key Features**:
- ✅ Runs on port `8001`
- ✅ Uses DuckDuckGo for web search
- ✅ BeautifulSoup for web scraping
- ✅ FastMCP for protocol implementation
- ✅ Robust error handling

### 2. **MCP Client** (`mcp_client.py`)
The intelligent agent layer:

**Features**:
- ✅ OpenAI GPT-4 integration
- ✅ Orchestrates MCP tool calls
- ✅ Strategic reasoning and synthesis
- ✅ Fallback mode (if MCP unavailable)
- ✅ Error handling and logging

**Main Function**: `analyze_competitor_landscape(company_name, api_key)`

### 3. **Gradio Interface** (`app.py`)
Professional web UI for user interaction:

**Features**:
- ✅ Clean, modern interface (Soft theme)
- ✅ Input validation
- ✅ Real-time error handling
- ✅ Markdown report rendering
- ✅ Secure API key input (password field)
- ✅ Runs on port `7860`

| **Port already in use** | Change port in code or kill process using port: `lsof -i :8001` |
| **Import errors** | Reinstall dependencies: `pip install -r requirements.txt` |
| **Timeout errors** | System busy, try again in 5 minutes |

---

## 📈 Performance

| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| **Analysis Duration** | 30-60 seconds |
