Overview

AI-generated overview

Lotus measures whether AI assistants cite your brand and returns prioritized fixes with install-ready code, verified against your live site.

What you can do
  • Run a GEO diagnosis for any domain, including visibility score and estimated revenue at risk
  • List pending quick wins and fetch install-ready code for one by hash
  • Review competitor moves, generated artifacts, AI crawler activity and estimated lost business
  • Check citation scores with per-query measurements and verify artifacts live on your site
  • Mark a quick win as applied after live verification, create share links and regenerate artifacts
When to use it
Useful when you want to know whether LLM answers cite your brand or a competitor, and want concrete JSON-LD or llms.txt fixes your coding agent can apply and then confirm in production.
Requirements
Remote hosted endpoint over streamable-http; nothing to install. A Lotus API key issued during onboarding at clicon.app, sent in the X-API-Key header. Only the analyze_geo preview works without a key.
Before you install
The API key is a credential and must go in the X-API-Key header, not tool arguments or URLs. Write tools change your Lotus account state: mark_applied, generate_share_link and regenerate_artifacts, the last being rate-limited and paid tiers only. The server fetches your live site to verify fixes and never writes to your site or repository.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Lotus — AI Citation Intelligence in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect X-API-Key credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/app.clicon%2Flotus/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

Lotus — AI Citation Intelligence (MCP Server)

Lotus is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) platform. It measures whether your brand is actually cited as a source inside LLM-generated answers, and hands your coding agent the exact code to fix what is missing.

This repository documents the hosted Lotus MCP server. The server is a managed remote endpoint — there is nothing to install or self-host.

  • Endpoint: https://lotus.clicon.app/mcp/ (trailing slash required)
  • Transport: streamable-http, stateless
  • Registry: app.clicon/lotus
  • Website: https://clicon.app

What it does

Search engines told you when you ranked badly. Generative engines do not. If an assistant hallucinates your product, ignores you, or cites a competitor instead, you lose the business with no signal that it happened.

Lotus closes that loop in three steps:

  1. Measure — real citation measurements across LLM answers for your domain, plus crawler activity and Search Console signals.
  2. Fix — prioritized "quick wins" with ready-to-install code (JSON-LD structured data, llms.txt).
  3. Verify — Lotus fetches your live site and confirms the fix is really there. A fix is not "applied" because an agent said so; it is applied because it was found in production.

Tools

analyze_geo works without credentials, so any agent can evaluate a domain before signing up. Every other tool requires an API key. Tools that take no domain argument resolve the domain from the key itself.

Preview

ToolDescription
analyze_geoGEO diagnosis for any domain: visibility score and estimated revenue at risk

Read (API key)

ToolDescription
get_quick_winsPending fixes, each with title, category, priority, estimated impact and a hash
get_quick_win_codeFull, install-ready code for one quick win, by hash
get_competitor_actionsCompetitor moves classified by AI-discoverability layer
get_artifactRetrieve a generated artifact (json_ld, llms_txt)
get_bot_activityAI crawler activity on your site over the last N days
get_bleed_modelEstimated business lost through the generative channel, with its provenance
verify_installationCheck whether your artifacts are live on your site right now
get_citation_verdictLatest citation score plus the per-query measurements behind it

Write (API key)

ToolDescription
mark_appliedMarks a quick win as applied — after verifying it against your live site
generate_share_linkCreate a shareable report link
regenerate_artifactsRegenerate your artifacts. Rate-limited; paid tiers only

Configuration

Add the server to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, or your own agent):

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "lotus": {      "url": "https://lotus.clicon.app/mcp/",      "headers": {        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_LOTUS_API_KEY"      }    }  }}

The API key is sent as the X-API-Key header — never as a tool argument or a query parameter. Keys are issued during onboarding at clicon.app. Without a key the server still responds to analyze_geo.

Exact config syntax varies slightly per client; the shape above is what most of them expect.

Usage

Talk to your agent in plain language — it picks the tools:

"Run the Lotus GEO analysis on my domain."

"Show me the pending Lotus quick wins."

"Get me the code for the highest-priority one and apply it to this repo."

"I deployed. Mark it as applied in Lotus."

On that last step Lotus fetches your live site and looks for the schema. If it is there, the fix turns green with a verification date. If it is not — because the deploy has not landed, or the snippet went in wrong — Lotus refuses to mark it. No false positives.

Lotus generates and verifies. You deploy. The server never writes to your site or your repository.
