Which app do you use?

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 lotus https://lotus.clicon.app/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

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

Common questions

Is Lotus — AI Citation Intelligence safe?

It passed 0 of 1 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 (1.27.0) reached the registry 3 months 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?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Intervals MCP

Lotus — AI Citation Intelligence (MCP Server)

Lotus is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) platform. It measures whether your brand is actually cited as a source inside LLM-generated answers, and hands your coding agent the exact code to fix what is missing.

This repository documents the hosted Lotus MCP server. The server is a managed remote endpoint — there is nothing to install or self-host.

Endpoint: https://lotus.clicon.app/mcp/ (trailing slash required)
Transport: streamable-http, stateless
Registry: app.clicon/lotus
Website: https://clicon.app

What it does

Search engines told you when you ranked badly. Generative engines do not. If an assistant hallucinates your product, ignores you, or cites a competitor instead, you lose the business with no signal that it happened.

Lotus closes that loop in three steps:

Measure — real citation measurements across LLM answers for your domain, plus crawler activity and Search Console signals.
Fix — prioritized "quick wins" with ready-to-install code (JSON-LD structured data, llms.txt).
Verify — Lotus fetches your live site and confirms the fix is really there. A fix is not "applied" because an agent said so; it is applied because it was found in production.

Tools

analyze_geo works without credentials, so any agent can evaluate a domain before signing up. Every other tool requires an API key. Tools that take no domain argument resolve the domain from the key itself.

Preview

Tool	Description
`analyze_geo`	GEO diagnosis for any domain: visibility score and estimated revenue at risk

Read (API key)

Tool	Description
`get_quick_wins`	Pending fixes, each with title, category, priority, estimated impact and a `hash`
`get_quick_win_code`	Full, install-ready code for one quick win, by `hash`
`get_competitor_actions`	Competitor moves classified by AI-discoverability layer
`get_artifact`	Retrieve a generated artifact (`json_ld`, `llms_txt`)
`get_bot_activity`	AI crawler activity on your site over the last N days
`get_bleed_model`	Estimated business lost through the generative channel, with its provenance
`verify_installation`	Check whether your artifacts are live on your site right now
`get_citation_verdict`	Latest citation score plus the per-query measurements behind it

Write (API key)

Tool	Description
`mark_applied`	Marks a quick win as applied — after verifying it against your live site
`generate_share_link`	Create a shareable report link
`regenerate_artifacts`	Regenerate your artifacts. Rate-limited; paid tiers only

Configuration

Add the server to any MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, or your own agent):

"mcpServers": { "lotus": { "url": "https://lotus.clicon.app/mcp/", "headers": { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_LOTUS_API_KEY" } } } }

The API key is sent as the X-API-Key header — never as a tool argument or a query parameter. Keys are issued during onboarding at clicon.app. Without a key the server still responds to analyze_geo.

Exact config syntax varies slightly per client; the shape above is what most of them expect.

Usage

Talk to your agent in plain language — it picks the tools:

"Run the Lotus GEO analysis on my domain."

"Show me the pending Lotus quick wins."

"Get me the code for the highest-priority one and apply it to this repo."

"I deployed. Mark it as applied in Lotus."

On that last step Lotus fetches your live site and looks for the schema. If it is there, the fix turns green with a verification date. If it is not — because the deploy has not landed, or the snippet went in wrong — Lotus refuses to mark it. No false positives.

Lotus generates and verifies. You deploy. The server never writes to your site or your repository.
