Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search, price and plan press placements across 1,600+ publications, and request quotes or AI-visibility audits.

What it does
A hosted MCP server for buying press coverage. Its main tools search a network of over 1,600 publications by price, domain authority, category, region and turnaround; quote a set of placements with fees included; and build a recommended plan from a goal, audience and budget. It can also request paid-media campaign quotes, run a quick AI-visibility check, and request a full free AI-visibility audit. The remaining tools cover publication detail and comparisons, categories, advertising channels, meeting availability, order status and the client content workflow.
When to use it
Useful for founders, marketers and agencies who want to research, price and plan PR placements from inside an MCP client, or who want to know whether AI assistants can find and cite a website. It fits early planning and quoting rather than campaign execution.
Requirements
A remote Streamable HTTP endpoint; no API key, account or signup is declared. The README notes the URL needs its trailing slash. Network access to the provider's endpoint is required.
Before you install
The server can open an unpaid order and return a payment link, but no payment method is reachable through any tool; nothing happens until a human opens the link and pays, and unpaid orders are deleted after 72 hours. Quotes and plans reserve nothing. Campaign briefs and audit requests are answered by a person, so contact details may be shared.

README

The Profound Agency MCP Server

A hosted MCP server for buying press. It gives an AI agent direct access to The Profound Agency's network of 1,600+ publications: search placements by price and authority, price a set of them, build a plan for a budget, and open an order for a human to pay. It can also request paid-media quotes and run AI-visibility checks.

No API key, no account, no signup. Point your client at the endpoint and go.

This repository holds the registry metadata only. The server itself runs on theprofound.agency.

Who it's for

  • Founders and marketers who want to plan and price PR from inside Claude, Cursor or any MCP client
  • Agencies building agents that quote press placements for their clients
  • Anyone who wants to know whether AI assistants can find and cite their website

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "profound-agency": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://theprofound.agency/api/mcp/"    }  }}

Tools

24 tools, 22 of them read-only. The ones you'll use most:

ToolWhat it does
search_placementsSearch the network by price, Domain Authority, Domain Rating, category, region, turnaround, Google indexing and AI-crawler readiness.
quote_placementsPrice a set of placements exactly as checkout would, fees included. Returns a link that opens the store with those placements in the cart. Reserves nothing.
plan_placementsGive it a goal, audience and budget; get back a recommended set of publications, already quoted and inside budget.
submit_campaign_briefAsk for a quote on a paid media campaign (display, CTV, social, search, audio, out-of-home). A person prices it and replies. Buys nothing.
quick_visibility_checkAn instant check of five AI-visibility basics for any site: AI crawlers in robots.txt, llms.txt, structured data, title and description.
request_auditRequest the full, free AI-visibility audit, scored out of 100. A person runs it and replies by email.

The rest cover publication detail and comparisons, categories, advertising channels and restricted-category rules, meeting availability, order status, and the client content workflow. The full list with descriptions is in the manifest and on the docs page.

Agents can't spend money

The server is built so an agent can do the research and the paperwork, but never the paying.

  • No payment method is reachable through any tool.
  • create_order opens an unpaid order and returns a payment link. Nothing happens until a human opens that link and pays.
  • Unpaid orders are deleted automatically after 72 hours.
  • Quotes and plans reserve nothing and commit nobody.
