Citlyze is a service that tracks how often your brand shows up in answers from AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini. This MCP server connects your AI assistant to your Citlyze workspace, so you can just ask questions in plain words instead of clicking around a dashboard. It is handy if you do marketing or SEO and want quick answers about brand visibility.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you using what it already knows. An MCP server is a small helper that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to an app. This one connects your AI to Citlyze, your AI search visibility workspace. Once it is connected, your AI can look up your scores, prompts, citations and competitor data in Citlyze and tell you what it finds.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI a question about your brand's AI search visibility. Your AI passes that question to this Citlyze helper. The helper talks to your Citlyze workspace using your API key and pulls the matching data. Then your AI turns that data into a normal answer in the chat, like a short report or a list. Everything here is read only, so your AI can look but cannot change anything in your workspace.

“How do I compare to my competitors in AI search right now?”
“What are the top recommendations for improving my AI visibility?”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat, built from your real Citlyze data. That can be a visibility score, a list of tracked prompts, a table of cited domains, a competitor comparison, or a set of recommendations. Some answers include counts and sample links, and crawler data comes back as daily visit numbers. Nothing is changed in your workspace, so it is always safe to ask.

Before you start

What you need

A Citlyze account on a plan that includes API access
A workspace API key from your Citlyze workspace settings (it looks like aeo_live_...)
An AI tool that supports MCP servers, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor or Gemini CLI

Good to know

This server can only read your Citlyze workspace, so it cannot change or delete anything, but keep your API key private since anyone who has it can read that workspace data.

Install it with your AI

Add Citlyze MCP server to your AI, no technical skills needed

You don't install anything by hand. You copy one prompt, paste it into an AI that can work on your computer, and it checks, installs and connects the server for you, asking you when it needs something.

Sign in to get the install prompt

Members get a ready-made prompt that lets the Claude desktop app check Citlyze MCP server, install it and connect it for them, step by step. You don't need any technical skills: you copy, paste and answer a few questions. Your connected AI can also find and install any of the 4,066 MCP servers here for you.
