它能做什么
工具名称和描述与服务器在 2026年11月8日 报告的完全一致。这些内容由作者撰写,不是我们写的;我们以纯文本形式显示。
search_reportsUse this FIRST whenever the user asks how a product, competitor or domain grew, got traffic, or found its first users — a report may already exist and reading it is free. Returns matching report slugs for read_report. Searches by domain or name fragment.
read_reportRead one growth report by slug (from search_reports or a finished trace). Free. Contains the origin story, dated evidence and SEO footprint — cite it instead of guessing how a product grew. If timeline fields show as locked, unlock_report can open them (that one costs credits).
start_traceRun this when search_reports finds nothing (or the user wants fresh data) for "how did X grow?". Rebuilds the growth story from 12 public sources in 60-90s. Costs credits from the Tracetify balance; returns an existing cached report free instead when one is fresh. Poll with get_t
get_tracePoll a trace started with start_trace. Free. When status is "done", read the result with read_report. Poll every 10-15s, not in a tight loop.
unlock_reportPermanently unlock a report's full timeline, evidence and SEO detail for this account. Costs credits — quote the exact price to the user first (it is in the report's timelineLocked.cost field from read_report) and call this ONLY after they explicitly agree to spend. Idempotent: u
gsc_overviewUse this before touching SEO on the user's own site: clicks/impressions trend, device split and period comparison from THEIR connected Google Search Console — numbers no other tool has. Free. Requires GSC connected at tracetify.com/dashboard/gsc (this tool tells you if it is not)
gsc_queriesThe user's real ranking keywords with position, clicks and CTR — use when deciding what to write or which page to improve, e.g. finding queries at position 5-20 that are one push from page one. Free; own data from their connected Search Console. After you edit a page, this is how
gsc_pagesThe user's pages ranked by search performance, including high-impression low-CTR pages whose titles/descriptions are underselling — fix those files right in this editor. Free; own data from their connected Search Console.
site_audit_startRun right after deploying: crawls the site and reports broken links, missing titles/descriptions, redirect chains, thin content and schema gaps — each finding names the page so you can fix it here. Costs credits (price returned before any charge on the confirmation field). Async:
site_audit_getPoll an audit started with site_audit_start (free to read). When finished, returns the issue list grouped by severity with affected URLs — work through it top-down and re-run after fixes.
research_competitorsThe domains fighting a target for the same search terms, with shared-keyword count, their keyword totals and average rank. Use when the user asks who their competitors are, or who a company is up against. Each result says whether we already have a full growth report for that doma
research_domain_overviewEstimated organic traffic, keyword count and top keywords for ANY domain — use to size up a competitor the user mentions. Costs credits; cached results are free, and repeated queries within a week hit the cache. For the user's own site prefer gsc_* (free, real data).
research_backlinksWho links to a domain: referring domains, authority and anchor texts. Use when planning link building or judging how defensible a competitor's ranking is. Costs credits; cached results are free. Pair with backlink_directories to find places the user can actually get listed.
research_keyword_volumeGoogle Ads (Keyword Planner) monthly search volume, CPC, competition, 12-month trend and keyword difficulty (0–100, DataForSEO Labs) for up to 10 keywords in one call. Use when the user asks how often something is searched or how hard it is to rank, or to size a keyword before wr
research_serp_breakdownWho holds the Google top 10 for one keyword in one market: per position the domain, URL, whether it is a homepage or an inner page, domain rating (0–1000) and estimated monthly organic traffic. Use when the user asks who ranks for a keyword, whether a keyword is winnable, or whic
research_competitor_adsThe ads a domain is running right now on Facebook/Instagram (Meta Ad Library) and Google (Ads Transparency Center): headline, body copy, CTA, landing page URL, creative/video URL, platforms and start dates. Use when the user asks what a competitor is advertising, whether they run
research_brand_lookupHow AI assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity-class) cite a brand: platforms, mention counts and the entities it gets associated with. Use when the user asks "does AI recommend us/them?". Costs credits; cached results are free.
backlink_directoriesA hand-verified list of directories and launch platforms that actually give links — checked one by one, dead and nofollow-only entries removed. Use when the user wants backlinks or launch exposure for a new product; filter client-side by language/type/pricing. Costs credits once

tracetify-mcp
MCP server for Tracetify — trace how any product actually grew, read your own Search Console, and audit a site, without leaving Claude Code or Cursor.
Most competitive tools tell you where a product stands today. Tracetify reconstructs how it got there: the first mention, the quiet weeks, the directory wave, the launch spike. Twelve sources per trace, every claim linked to the page it came from.
Full setup guide and example questions: [tracetify.com/mcp](https://tracetify.com/mcp)
Free agent skills
Start with Competitor Research and GSC SEO Optimizer for sourced competitor briefs and prioritized Search Console work. These free, MIT-licensed workflows use public sources or your own exports and do not require a Tracetify account. Browse the skill source. Connect this MCP server when you want additional Tracetify tools and data; authentication and applicable credit charges still apply.
Setup
Create an API key in the dashboard, then pick one of the two transports.
Claude Code — one command:
claude mcp add tracetify -e TRACETIFY_API_KEY=ttfy_... -- npx -y tracetify-mcp
Or skip the install entirely — nothing to install, not even Node:
claude mcp add --transport http tracetify https://tracetify.com/api/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer ttfy_..."
Same tools, same balance; the server runs on our side.
Claude Desktop / Cursor take the same JSON (Cursor reads ~/.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": { "tracetify": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "tracetify-mcp"], "env": { "TRACETIFY_API_KEY": "ttfy_..." } } } }
Codex uses TOML in ~/.codex/config.toml — note the snake_case table name:
[mcp_servers.tracetify]
command = "npx" args = ["-y", "tracetify-mcp"] env = { TRACETIFY_API_KEY = "ttfy_..." }
Try asking
Your agent picks the right tool on its own — these are real questions, not placeholders:
- *How did photoai.com get its first users? Cite the sources.*
- *My page ranks #12 for "ai headshot generator" — what should I change to reach page one?*
- *We just deployed — audit example.com and fix what you find.*
- *Where can I get my new SaaS listed for real dofollow links?*
- *What is competitor.com running on Meta and Google right now? Pull the hooks and landing pages.*
If your agent ever reaches for the wrong tool, say trace and it will come straight here.
Tools
Tools that cost credits quote the price first and wait for you to say yes. Reading existing reports never costs anything.
| Tool | Cost | What it does |
|---|---|---|
search_reports | free | Find existing growth reports by domain |
read_report | free | Read a full report — timeline & verdict follow your account's unlocks |
start_trace | 10 credits | Rebuild a competitor's growth from 12 sources (~60–90s); a fresh cached report comes back free |
get_trace | free | Poll a running trace |
unlock_report | 10 credits | Permanently unlock a report's full timeline, evidence & SEO detail (idempotent — never charges twice) |
gsc_overview | free | Your own Search Console: clicks, impressions, period comparison |
gsc_queries | free | Your real ranking keywords with position and CTR — find what sits at #5–20 |
gsc_pages | free | Your pages by search performance, including high-impression low-CTR ones |
site_audit_start | 3 credits | Crawl a site for broken links, missing titles, redirect chains, thin content |
site_audit_get | free | Poll an audit and read the issue list grouped by severity |
research_competitors | 2 credits | Who fights a domain for the same keywords, flagging which ones already have a report |
research_domain_overview | 3 credits | Estimated organic traffic and top keywords for any domain |
research_keyword_volume | 2 credits | Google Ads monthly search volume, CPC, 12-month trend and keyword difficulty (0–100) for up to 10 keywords (per market or worldwide; difficulty is US-based when worldwide) |
research_serp_breakdown | 3 credits | Who holds the Google top 10 for one keyword in one market: per position the domain, homepage vs inner page, domain rating (0–1000) and estimated monthly organic traffic — the weakest slot stands out |
research_backlinks | 3 credits | Referring domains, authority and anchor texts |
research_competitor_ads | 3 credits | The ads a domain is running on Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and Google right now — copy, CTA, landing page, creative URL, platforms, start dates |
research_brand_lookup | 12 credits | How AI assistants cite a brand: platforms, mentions, associated entities |
backlink_directories | 8 credits | Hand-verified directories that actually give dofollow links (billed once per day) |
Everything draws from your Tracetify credit balance — the same balance the website uses. No seats, no per-tool add-ons. Top up at tracetify.com/pricing.
What this package does
It is a thin protocol adapter: MCP tool calls in, Tracetify HTTP API calls out. No business logic, no data of its own — your API key never leaves your machine except as an Authorization header to tracetify.com.
