Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

AI visibility for agents: is a brand mentioned and cited by Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews?

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Marketing & social media
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

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 ai-visibility 'https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automationnation/ai-visibility-tracker' --header 'Authorization: Bearer {apify_token}'

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ai-visibility": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automationnation/ai-visibility-tracker",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {apify_token}"
      }
    }
  }
}

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

{
  "servers": {
    "ai-visibility": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automationnation/ai-visibility-tracker",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {apify_token}"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.

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

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret required HTTP header
    Your Apify API token, sent as 'Bearer '. Get it at https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations (free account).

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is AI Visibility Tracker (via Apify) 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: Authorization

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 (1.0.0) reached the registry 36 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?

AI Visibility Tracker: is your brand mentioned and cited in AI search?

AI Visibility Tracker is an Apify Actor that shows whether AI search engines mention and cite your brand. For each prompt it asks Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Claude the way a customer would. It records whether your brand is named, its position against competitors, how it's described, which sites are cited, every other brand named and what changed since the last run, at $0.05 per answer plus $0.50 for an optional client-ready report.

Price: $0.05 per answer checked ($0.04 on Gold) + $0.50 per optional report · Run it: https://apify.com/automationnation/ai-visibility-tracker · Guide: https://retracn.github.io/automationnation-actors/ai-visibility-tracker/

Quick facts

  • Engines: Google AI Overviews (late-loading overviews read in a real browser), Gemini with Google Search grounding, and Claude with web search, localised to your country.
  • Per answer: whether your brand is named and its position among tracked brands, whether your site is cited and at what position, competitors named or cited, sentiment with a one-line summary, every brand named, and the cited URLs.
  • Hidden competitors: every company or product named in the answers is counted, including ones you don't track.
  • Weekly tracking: each run is compared with the last, with mentions and citations gained or lost per prompt and engine, a client-ready HTML report with a trend over time, and Slack, Discord or webhook alerts.
  • Price: $0.05 per answer checked ($0.045 Silver, $0.04 Gold and above) plus $0.50 per optional report; answers that couldn't be checked are free. 20 prompts on 3 engines weekly costs about $14 a month.

FAQ

What is AI visibility tracking? Checking whether AI assistants and AI search features name and cite your brand when people ask about your market, and how that changes over time. It's the measurement side of generative engine optimization (GEO).

Which AI engines does it check? Google AI Overviews, Gemini (with Google Search grounding) and Claude (with web search). ChatGPT and Perplexity are planned.

How much does it cost? $0.05 per answer checked ($0.04 on Gold and above), plus $0.50 per run for the optional report. One answer is one prompt on one engine; answers that couldn't be checked are free.

Can it find competitors I don't know about? Yes. Every company or product the answers name is listed, tracked or not, so the brands AI engines recommend instead of you show up in the report.
