## Description
Checks whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini cite your brand or domain for a given keyword, and who's winning that citation instead. Hosted, streamable-HTTP, free tier available.

## Tools
Capabilities this server exposes over MCP:

- **check_ai_visibility** — Is a domain cited at all, on a given AI platform.
- **citation_leaders** — Who dominates AI-answer citations for a topic, and whether a domain is among them.
- **citation_structure** — How the winning AI answer for a topic is actually shaped: list-led, sources cited, opening length.
- **citation_structure_batch** — Same as `citation_structure`, across up to 10 related topics in one call, for content planning across a cluster.

## Documentation & README

# Vantage

Know if AI actually cites you.

Vantage is an MCP server that checks whether ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini cite your brand, callable directly from Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP client. No dashboard to interpret, just a straight answer.

Published on the [Official MCP Registry](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/) under the domain-verified namespace `dev.vantagemcp/vantage`.

> **Not to be confused with:** [vantage.sh](https://www.vantage.sh), a cloud cost-management company with its own, unrelated MCP server also named Vantage. Different product, same name.

## Install

Add to your MCP client config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vantage": {
      "url": "https://vantagemcp.dev/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
```

## Running your own instance

This repo is the MCP server itself: three tools, API-key auth, usage metering. Billing and account provisioning are a separate internal service, not included here.

```bash
uv pip install -e .
export DATAFORSEO_USERNAME=...
export DATAFORSEO_PASSWORD=...

# stdio (local MCP client, e.g. Claude Desktop config pointing at this command)
python -m vantage_mcp.server

# streamable-http (network service, bind to loopback behind your own reverse proxy)
export VANTAGE_PORT=8420
python -m vantage_mcp.server --http
```
