Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http ai-visibility https://citedornot.com/mcp --header 'X-API-Key: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{

      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

Common questions

Is CitedOrNot - AI Search Visibility 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: X-API-Key

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 28 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?

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

Tool	What it returns
`list-brands-tool`	Every brand on the account, with question counts and when each was last scanned. Call this first.
`get-brand-visibility-tool`	Visibility rate, recommendation rate, sentiment split, a breakdown by engine and by question, and the competitor gaps.
`list-mentions-tool`	Individual 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-tool`	The current "what to publish" advice: which competitor is winning, the query, proof points and action steps.
`list-clients-tool`	Agency 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 , or as X-API-Key: if your client can't set an Authorization header. There is no OAuth sign-in.

Claude Code

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

Cursor / VS Code / Windsurf

Add a remote MCP server with:

URL: https://citedornot.com/mcp
Header: Authorization: Bearer

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.
Treat the token like a password. Anyone who has it can read your brands' results.
