Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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.

Or run it on your computer

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tracetify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "tracetify-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "TRACETIFY_API_KEY": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http tracetify https://tracetify.com/api/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Or run it on your computer

claude mcp add tracetify --env TRACETIFY_API_KEY=your-value -- npx -y tracetify-mcp

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": {
    "tracetify": {
      "url": "https://tracetify.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or run it on your computer

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

      ],
      "env": {
        "TRACETIFY_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

{
  "servers": {
    "tracetify": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://tracetify.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {

Common questions

Is Tracetify MCP safe?

It passed 1 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: TRACETIFY_API_KEY, Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.7.0) reached the registry 23 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?

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.

`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

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.
