Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote MCP server that lets an assistant read CitedOrNot's AI search visibility results: which AI engines name your brand, which competitors win instead, and,

What you can do
List every brand on the account with question counts and last scan time, and list agency clients with rolled-up visibility rates where the account has clients. Read a brand's visibility rate, recommendation rate, sentiment split, and breakdowns by engine and question, plus competitor gaps. Browse individual engine answers with engine, whether the brand was named, tone, recommendation strength, an excerpt and citations, filtered by question, engine, tone or gaps only. Retrieve current what-to-publish advice, including the winning competitor, the query, proof points and action steps.
When to use it
Useful when you already track brand visibility in AI engines through CitedOrNot and want an assistant to query those results directly, for example to compare brands, inspect where competitors were named instead of you, or get publishing suggestions without opening the dashboard.
Requirements
A remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local runtime. A CitedOrNot account on the Pro or Agency plan and a personal MCP token created under Settings > MCP, sent as an Authorization Bearer header or as the X-API-Key header. No OAuth sign-in. Rate limit of 60 requests per minute.
Before you install
The token is a secret: anyone holding it can read your brands' results, and it stops working if the plan is downgraded or the token is deactivated. All tools are read-only and do not start scans or use scan allowance. Results come from CitedOrNot's scheduled scans and are sent to the remote service.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open CitedOrNot - AI Search Visibility 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/com.citedornot%2Fai-visibility/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

CitedOrNot MCP server

Ask your AI assistant whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and other AI engines recommend your brand, which competitors they name instead, and what to publish to get named.

CitedOrNot checks, on a schedule, whether AI engines name your brand when buyers ask what to buy or who to use. This MCP server lets an assistant such as Claude, Cursor or VS Code read those results directly.

This repository is documentation only. The server runs at https://citedornot.com/mcp and is part of the CitedOrNot product; its source code is not published here. This repo exists so you can see what it does and how to connect to it.

What you need

  • A CitedOrNot account on the Pro or Agency plan (plans and prices).
  • A personal MCP token: in CitedOrNot go to Settings → MCP and create one. It starts with mcp_.

New to CitedOrNot? The free check needs no signup: citedornot.com.

What you can ask

  • "Which of my brands is named least often by the AI engines this month?"
  • "Show the questions where a competitor was named and we weren't, on Perplexity."
  • "How do the engines differ in tone about ?"
  • "What should I publish next to get named more often?"
  • "Which of my agency clients has the lowest visibility?" (Agency plan)

Tools

ToolWhat it returns
list-brands-toolEvery brand on the account, with question counts and when each was last scanned. Call this first.
get-brand-visibility-toolVisibility rate, recommendation rate, sentiment split, a breakdown by engine and by question, and the competitor gaps.
list-mentions-toolIndividual engine answers: the engine, whether the brand was named, tone, how strongly it was recommended, an excerpt and any citations. Filter by question, engine, tone or gaps only.
get-recommendations-toolThe current "what to publish" advice: which competitor is winning, the query, proof points and action steps.
list-clients-toolAgency clients with their brands and a rolled-up visibility rate. Appears only for accounts that have clients.

Every tool is read-only. None of them starts a new scan, uses your scan allowance or changes anything on your account. The live list is also published as a server card.

Connect

The endpoint is https://citedornot.com/mcp (streamable HTTP). Send your token as Authorization: Bearer <your-token>, or as X-API-Key: <your-token> if your client can't set an Authorization header. There is no OAuth sign-in.

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add citedornot --transport http https://citedornot.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>"

Claude.ai / Claude Desktop

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the URL above. When it asks about authentication choose None (this server uses a token, not OAuth), then add a header:

  • Name: Authorization
  • Value: Bearer <your-token>

Cursor / VS Code / Windsurf

Add a remote MCP server with:

  • URL: https://citedornot.com/mcp
  • Header: Authorization: Bearer <your-token>

Smithery

A listing with a token field is on Smithery: citedornot/ai-visibility.

Limits and access

  • 60 requests per minute.
  • The token works only while the account is on Pro or Agency. It stops working if the plan is downgraded or you deactivate the token under Settings → MCP.
