# Create competitor set
> Explicitly approve one customer and up to ten competitors.
`create_competitor_set`
Explicitly approve one customer and up to ten competitors. Registration does not verify links or buy discovery.
Available in the deployed MCP and HTTP bundle. Confirm access and inputs with your connected catalog. Workspace scopes and enabled providers still apply.
| Access | Behavior |
| ----------------- | --------------------- |
| `discovery:write` | Writes or admits work |
This operation changes saved state. Review its inputs and retry behavior before calling.
## Example request
Connect through [MCP](/guides/connect-mcp), [CLI](/guides/connect-cli), or [HTTP](/guides/connect-http). Replace example identifiers with records from your workspace.
```json MCP theme={null}
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "create_competitor_set",
"arguments": {
"projectId": "project_example",
"approved": true,
"members": [
{
"role": "customer",
"scope": {
"target_kind": "domain",
"target": "example.com",
"include_subdomains": true
}
},
{

"scope": {
"target_kind": "domain",
"target": "competitor.example.com",
"include_subdomains": true
}
}
]
}
}
}
```
```bash CLI theme={null}
agentlinkops call create_competitor_set --args '{"projectId":"project_example","approved":true,"members":[{"role":"customer","scope":{"target_kind":"domain","target":"example.com","include_subdomains":true}},{"role":"competitor","scope":{"target_kind":"domain","target":"competitor.example.com","include_subdomains":true}}]}'
```
```bash HTTP theme={null}
curl "$AGENTLINKOPS_API_URL/v1/commands/create_competitor_set" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTLINKOPS_API_KEY" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \

```
## Returned result
Illustrative data validated against the documented response schema. IDs and dates are examples, not a live account capture. MCP returns this data in `structuredContent` and in a text content block; generic HTTP and CLI return the JSON result directly.
```json theme={null}
{
"v": 1,
"id": "cs_example",
"revision": 1,
"workspace_id": "ws_example",
"project_id": "project_example",
"approved_by": "user_example",
"approved_at": "2026-09-13T12:00:00.000Z",
"members": [
{
"role": "customer",
"scope": {
"target_kind": "domain",
"target": "example.com",
"include_subdomains": true
},
"id": "cm_customer"
},
{
"role": "competitor",
"scope": {
"target_kind": "domain",
"target": "competitor.example.com",
"include_subdomains": true
},
"id": "cm_competitor"
}
],
"current_revision": 1,
"retired_at": null
}
```
## Input fields
Omit optional fields when you do not want to supply them. Null is accepted only where listed. Unknown input properties are rejected.
| Field | Type | Presence | Meaning and constraints |
| ------------------------------------ | ------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `projectId` | string | Required | Identifier of the project returned by its create or list operation. pattern: "^\[a-zA-Z0-9\_-]\{1,128}\$" |
| `approved` | boolean | Required | Explicit approval required to freeze this customer and competitor selection. must equal true |
| `members` | array | Required | Customer and competitor members approved for this set revision. minItems: 2; maxItems: 11 |
| `members[].role` | string | Required | values: "customer", "competitor" |
| `members[].scope` | object | Required | additional fields rejected |
| `members[].scope.target_kind` | string | Required | values: "domain", "exact\_url" |
| `members[].scope.target` | string | Required | minLength: 1; maxLength: 4096 |
| `members[].scope.include_subdomains` | boolean | Required | |
### Validation and omitted values
Requires exactly one customer, distinct member identities and nonoverlapping approved target scopes. Scope target kind, target and subdomain policy are explicit; none is inferred from a default.

## Errors and retries
This command is not annotated idempotent. After a timeout, inspect existing state before repeating a write.
See [error recovery](/reference/errors) for status, scope, cooldown, cursor and retry handling. Unknown observations are result data and do not establish loss.
## HTTP resource routes
These existing resource routes share the operation’s domain behavior. Their parameter placement, status and response envelope can differ from generic invocation. See [HTTP route details](/reference/http/routes).
| Method and route | Success | Details |
| -------------------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| `POST /v1/competitor-sets` | 201 | Remaining arguments go in a JSON object body. |
