## Description
Search, price and order press placements across 1,600+ publications. Free AI-visibility audits too.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **search_placements** — Search the network by price, Domain Authority, Domain Rating, category, region, turnaround, Google indexing and AI-crawler readiness.
- **quote_placements** — Price a set of placements exactly as checkout would, fees included. Returns a link that opens the store with those placements in the cart. Reserves nothing.
- **plan_placements** — Give it a goal, audience and budget; get back a recommended set of publications, already quoted and inside budget.
- **submit_campaign_brief** — Ask for a quote on a paid media campaign (display, CTV, social, search, audio, out-of-home). A person prices it and replies. Buys nothing.
- **quick_visibility_check** — An instant check of five AI-visibility basics for any site: AI crawlers in robots.txt, llms.txt, structured data, title and description.
- **request_audit** — Request the full, free AI-visibility audit, scored out of 100. A person runs it and replies by email.

## What The Profound Agency MCP server does

The Profound Agency MCP server gives AI assistants access to press-placement research across more than 1,600 publications. Agents can filter opportunities by price, Domain Authority, Domain Rating, category, region, turnaround time, Google indexing, and AI-crawler readiness. They can then price selected placements, receive a recommended plan for a stated budget, or open an unpaid order for human payment.

The service also covers related marketing workflows. `submit_campaign_brief` sends a request for pricing on display, CTV, social, search, audio, or out-of-home media. `quick_visibility_check` reviews five website basics: AI crawlers in `robots.txt`, `llms.txt`, structured data, the title, and the description. `request_audit` starts a free, human-run AI-visibility audit scored out of 100.

## How it works

The Profound Agency MCP server is hosted by The Profound Agency rather than run from this repository. MCP clients connect to `https://theprofound.agency/api/mcp/` over Streamable HTTP. The service is stateless and does not require an API key, account, or signup. The trailing slash is part of the documented endpoint configuration.

A typical press workflow starts with `search_placements`, followed by `quote_placements` to calculate checkout pricing with fees included. A quote provides a store link with the selected placements in the cart, but it does not reserve them. `plan_placements` can instead recommend publications from a goal, audience, and budget, with the result already quoted and kept within the budget.

The server exposes 24 tools, 22 of which are read-only. Other tools cover publication details and comparisons, categories, advertising channels, restricted-category rules, meeting availability, order status, and client content workflows. The complete tool inventory is available through the published manifest and documentation.

## Setup and configuration

Add the remote HTTP endpoint to an MCP client using a configuration similar to:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "profound-agency": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://theprofound.agency/api/mcp/"
    }
  }
}
```

Claude Code can be configured with:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http profound-agency https://theprofound.agency/api/mcp/
```

No environment variables or credentials are documented as required. The service publishes MCP metadata at `https://theprofound.agency/.well-known/mcp.json`.

## Limitations and notes

The Profound Agency MCP server does not provide access to a payment method. Creating an order only produces an unpaid order and a human-readable payment link; a person must open the link and pay. Unpaid orders are deleted after 72 hours. Quotes and recommended plans reserve nothing and do not commit the user to a purchase.

Paid-media briefs are requests for a human-prepared quote and do not buy advertising. The full AI-visibility audit is also performed by a person and returned by email, while the quick check is immediate. Use this service when an agent can prepare research and paperwork but a human must approve or complete the transaction.

As a remote service in the 🎯 Marketing category, The Profound Agency is suited to founders, marketers, and agencies that want press planning, media-brief preparation, or website AI-visibility checks inside an MCP-compatible assistant.
