Status: Developer preview.

Distribution

Distribution status and release channels

Model Context Protocol server for the bisibility REST API. It exposes stdio tools backed by the published @bisibility/sdk package.

Requirements

• Node.js 18 or newer
• A bisibility API key
• A bisibility API v1 base URL

Install

Run the published stdio server without a global install:

npx -y @bisibility/mcp

For local development, install and build from this package directory:

From this package directory:

npm install

npm run build

The SDK is consumed from the npm registry:

"@bisibility/sdk": "^0.22.0"

MCPB bundle

Directories and clients that support MCPB can distribute bisibility as a one-click local bundle. The bundle includes the stdio server and all production dependencies, but never a bisibility credential. The client collects configuration during installation.

Build the upload artifact with:

npm ci

npm run build npm run build:mcpb

The versioned file is written to artifacts/.

Environment

export BISIBILITY_API_KEY="bsb_pat_live_..."

export BISIBILITY_BASE_URL="https://eu.bisibility.com/api/v1" export BISIBILITY_PROJECT_ID="prj_..." export BISIBILITY_MCP_READ_ONLY="1" export BISIBILITY_MCP_TOOLSETS="projects,keywords,checks,rank-history"

BISIBILITY_BASE_URL is optional and defaults to https://eu.bisibility.com/api/v1. For self-hosted installs, set it to your API v1 root, for example https://rank.example.com/api/v1. BISIBILITY_API_KEY accepts a project key (bsb_key_live_...) or personal access token (bsb_pat_live_...). Set optional BISIBILITY_PROJECT_ID as the default X-Bisibility-Project selector for project-implicit PAT tools; a tool's optional project_id argument overrides it for that call. Every resource ID accepted by the MCP server, including BISIBILITY_PROJECT_ID, must use the current typed public ID format: a canonical lowercase prefix plus _ and a 24-character lowercase suffix, for example prj_a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8j9k0m2n3. Malformed IDs, mixed-case IDs, and wrong resource prefixes are rejected. Location selection uses the returned location_key, never a location ID. A key can end in @language to select a non-default language for the location, for example ES/Andalusia/Malaga@en; an unqualified key uses the country's default language.

The server consumes the public ID contract from the published @bisibility/sdk package. Do not replace it with a local SDK link.

BISIBILITY_MCP_READ_ONLY accepts 1, true, yes, or on, ignoring case. When enabled, write tools are not registered and do not appear in tools/list.

BISIBILITY_MCP_TOOLSETS is an optional comma-separated allowlist. Valid toolsets are account, agent-reports, alerts, analytics, backlinks, brand-visibility, checks, competitors, domain-overview, keywords, notifications, page-indexing, project-context, projects, prompt-explorer, prompt-research, prompt-tracker, providers, rank-history, saved-keywords, saved-views, signals, site-audits, sitemaps, system, team, tokens, and webhooks. An unknown value prevents the server from starting. When the variable is unset, all toolsets are registered. The toolset filter and read-only mode compose. The allowlist is a scope control, not a way to improve tool selection.

Run

npm run build

BISIBILITY_API_KEY="bsb_key_live_..." node dist/stdio.js

When installed as a package, the bin is:

bisibility-mcp

Connect

After building the repository, connect Codex to the local stdio server:

codex mcp add bisibility \

--env BISIBILITY_API_KEY="bsb_key_live_..." \ --env BISIBILITY_BASE_URL="https://bisibility.com/api/v1" \ -- node /absolute/path/to/bisibility-mcp/dist/stdio.js

The codex mcp add syntax above was verified against the Codex CLI. Replace the absolute path and credential before running it.

Other MCP clients commonly use a JSON configuration like this:

{

"mcpServers": { "bisibility": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@bisibility/mcp"], "env": { "BISIBILITY_API_KEY": "bsb_key_live_...", "BISIBILITY_BASE_URL": "https://eu.bisibility.com/api/v1" } } } }

If bisibility-mcp is installed on the client's PATH, use the package bin:

{

"mcpServers": { "bisibility": { "command": "bisibility-mcp", "env": { "BISIBILITY_API_KEY": "bsb_key_live_...", "BISIBILITY_BASE_URL": "https://eu.bisibility.com/api/v1" } } } }

Tools

Tools use unprefixed snake_case names and can be filtered with BISIBILITY_MCP_TOOLSETS. Tools shared with the built-in /api/mcp endpoint use the same names. The two transports have different tool inventories; check tools/list before switching.

Domain Overview tools always require a nonnegative whole-cent max_cost_cents cap. Use estimate_only: true together with max_cost_cents: 0 for the safe estimate-first step; provider estimates and returned charges may still contain fractional cents.

For rank results, read execution status and observation_completeness together with position. A null position with unknown or legacy coverage does not establish absence within Top N. Only complete coverage supports that conclusion; a positive position remains valid with truncated coverage. latest_successful_check means the most recent completed observation, which can itself have unknown coverage.

Backlinks history is optional. history_unavailable marks a history failure with confirmed cost while summary and links remain available. If accounting is unknown, the request stays failed (isError) and may carry the completed summary as current-response evidence: cost_cents is null and rows are not requested. That evidence is not a cached snapshot or a settled total, cannot be extended with load_more_backlink_rows, and does not survive reload.
