Use my connected Agentik MCP server for this job: country entry brief.

Write a market entry brief for a country. First ask me for my product, the country and my home currency.

Read GDP per head, population, internet use and inflation with world-bank/indicator. Read the exchange rate with frankfurter/latest-rates. Check local demand for my category with dataforseo/google-trends and size local-language keywords with dataforseo/google-ads-search-volume. Search the news on regulation and local competitors with serper/news. Read the economic background with wikipedia/page-summary.

Finish with a brief (economy, demand, competitors, regulation, pricing in local currency, risks) and a go, wait or no-go with reasons.

Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go. At the end, tell me what Agentik charged.
