Common questions

Is RankControl safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: RANKCONTROL_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.19.0) reached the registry 25 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

RankControl

RankControl wins Google rankings and AI citations for your site: seven AI agents plan, write, and publish citation-optimized articles as native posts on your own CMS (WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Ghost, Notion, Wix, Framer, and headless). They watch citations and rankings, refresh pages that slip, and draft link outreach for your approval.

This repo is the RankControl Claude Code plugin and agent skill. It teaches Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any skills-compatible agent how to run a RankControl workspace from the command line: AI visibility, content planning and publishing, backlinks, repurposing, and reports.

Claude Code, as a plugin:

/plugin marketplace add rankcontrol/rankcontrol

/plugin install rankcontrol@rankcontrol

Any skills-compatible agent:

npx skills add rankcontrol/rankcontrol

Prefer MCP tools? Local stdio via the same npm package, or the remote connector with OAuth:

claude mcp add rankcontrol -- npx rankcontrol mcp

claude mcp add --transport http rankcontrol https://api.rctrl.com/mcp

Safety: publishing, outreach, and other publicly visible actions are dry-run by default and require --confirm. Approval gates run server-side.
