GetCited MCP connector

Client-side pieces for connecting a coding agent to GetCited: the MCP server definition, a Claude Code plugin with its skills, a Gemini CLI extension, and a small stdio proxy for clients that cannot speak Streamable HTTP.

GetCited audits a site the way an answer engine reads it, tracks where it ranks, records which AI engines cite it, and files each measured problem as an action with the evidence behind it. It never proposes the fix: your agent has the repository open and it does not.

The service itself is closed source. Everything in this repository is the connector — transport, manifests and prompts — so you can read exactly what your agent is being told and what leaves your machine.

Connect

Create a key under Settings → API keys in the app, then pick your client.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http getcited https://app.getcited.dev/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $SEO_API_KEY"

Any client that reads a JSON config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getcited": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app.getcited.dev/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${SEO_API_KEY}" }
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/bapierre/getcited-mcp

Clients without a remote transport (Claude Desktop, whose config takes a command rather than a URL) use the stdio proxy in src/:

claude mcp add getcited --env SEO_API_KEY="vseo_..." -- npx -y getcited-mcp

llms-install.md is the same instructions written for an agent, so you can tell your assistant to set this up rather than doing it yourself.
