CitedOrNot - AI Search Visibility MCP server

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.
