# Prominara MCP server

> Your AI visibility data, in the assistant you already use. URL: https://mcp.prominara.com. Page: https://prominara.com/mcp. Updated: 2026-09-21.

The Prominara MCP server is a remote Model Context Protocol server that connects your own AI assistant to your Prominara workspace, a GEO platform that tracks brand visibility across AI answers. It is included in every Prominara plan and in the 14-day trial, so any customer can connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Codex today.

Ask what you are cited for, run a check, log the page you shipped, read the verdict. Same data, same quotas, no new dashboard to learn.

## What is Prominara

Prominara is an AI visibility platform for generative engine optimization (GEO): it finds where ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI recommend competitors instead of you, writes the fixes, and measures what worked.

## What can my agent do?

14 tools, namespaced `prominara_`. Read tools need the `read` permission; act tools need `write`, which you can leave ungranted.

### Read

- **List sites** (`prominara_list_sites`, read permission, No quota): Lists the brands in your workspace with their domain, latest audit score and how many prompts are tracked.
- **Visibility overview** (`prominara_visibility_overview`, read permission, No quota): How often AI answers cite or mention your brand over a window, per platform, with the trend and the competitors ahead of you.
- **List tracked prompts** (`prominara_list_prompts`, read permission, No quota): The questions you track for a site, with their panel, whether they are active and the latest result on each platform.
- **Get latest AI answers** (`prominara_get_answers`, read permission, No quota): What each AI platform actually answered for one prompt: mentions, citations, the sources it used and the history behind them.
- **List missions** (`prominara_list_missions`, read permission, No quota): Your ranked to-do list: for every tracked question, the page that should own the answer and the next best action.
- **Sources intelligence** (`prominara_sources`, read permission, No quota): The off-site pages AI answers cite in your category, which of them name you, and where a citation is worth earning.
- **Measurement verdicts** (`prominara_measurement`, read permission, No quota): The before-and-after verdict for each content change you logged, with its probability and observation window.
- **Suggest prompts to track** (`prominara_suggest_prompts`, read permission, No quota): Drafted questions worth tracking for a site, balanced across the buying journey, with a recommended set that fits your plan.
- **Plan and usage** (`prominara_usage`, read permission, No quota): Your plan, what is left of the monthly check allowance and how many prompt slots, sites and platforms you can still use.

### Act

- **Create tracked prompts** (`prominara_create_prompts`, write permission, Uses prompt slots): Starts tracking the questions you picked and runs their first checks.
- **Run a check now** (`prominara_run_check`, write permission, Uses check quota): Asks the AI platforms your tracked questions again, right now, instead of waiting for the schedule.
- **Log a shipped content change** (`prominara_log_content_change`, write permission, Opens a measurement window): Records a page you shipped so Prominara can measure what it changed.
- **Update mission status** (`prominara_update_mission`, write permission, No quota): Marks a mission as in progress, shipped, snoozed or dismissed.
- **Enable or disable prompts** (`prominara_set_prompt_active`, write permission, Uses prompt slots): Turns tracked questions on or off, which starts or stops their scheduled checks.

## What does that look like in a conversation?

- "Which of my tracked prompts lost citations this month, and which page should I fix first?" Reads the visibility overview for the window, pulls the ranked missions, and answers with the prompts that moved and the page that should own each answer.
- "Add five prompts about serverless database pricing and check them now." Creates the prompts against your plan slots, skipping duplicates, then runs the first checks. It tells you what was created, what was skipped and how much quota is left.
- "I published the new comparison page today. Log it against the prompts it targets." Records the content change with its release date, freezes the affected prompts and opens the before-and-after observation window.
- "Did the page I shipped three weeks ago move anything yet?" Returns the measurement verdict for that change with its probability, range and evidence grade, in Prominara’s own wording.
- "Which domains does ChatGPT cite in my category, and do any of them mention us?" Reads the sources view for the site and lists the cited domains, whether each one names your brand, and the ranked places to earn a citation.

## How do I connect?

1. **Add the server to your client.** In Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex or any other MCP client, add https://mcp.prominara.com as a remote MCP server.
2. **Sign in and choose what the agent may do.** Your client opens a Prominara consent page. Pick the organization and grant read, or read and write.
3. **Ask your agent about your AI visibility.** Ask what you are cited for, run a check, log a page you shipped, or read the measurement verdict.

```bash
npx add-mcp https://mcp.prominara.com
```

Setup guide: https://prominara.com/docs/agents

## How is it secured?

- **OAuth 2.1, not pasted keys.** You sign in to Prominara in your browser with PKCE. There is no key to copy into a config file, and nothing long-lived sits on your machine.
- **Consent on every connection.** Each new connection shows the client asking, where it will send you back, and the organization you are connecting. Nothing is approved silently from a previous grant.
- **Read and write are separate.** Write is a scope you can leave unchecked at consent. A read-only connection can look at everything and change nothing.
- **No tool deletes anything.** Nothing touches billing, team settings, deletion, or another organization. A few writes do replace a value you set, like which page owns a prompt, and your client asks before those.
- **The same quotas as the app.** A check your agent runs counts exactly like pressing Run now, against the same monthly allowance. Refusals say which limit was hit and when it resets.
- **Revoke whenever you want.** Every connection is listed under Settings, Connected agents, with the client, the scopes and when it was last used. Revoking takes effect on the next call.

## Choosing a GEO tool for your agent

- **Sign-in, not key-pasting.** Prefer OAuth. A tool that asks you to paste a long-lived key into a config file puts a credential on disk that nobody can revoke from the product.
- **Read and write, not read only.** An agent that can only report leaves you doing the work by hand. Creating prompts, running checks and logging what you shipped is where the time goes.
- **Verdicts, not just counts.** A citation count answers what happened. Whether the page you shipped moved anything needs a before-and-after design with a control group.
- **No separate usage units.** Agent calls should draw on the plan you already pay for, not on a second meter with its own pricing.
- **Available on the cheapest plan.** Check the entry tier, not the top one. Prominara includes agent access from Starter at $29 per month and in the 14-day trial.

## What an agent can and cannot tell you

- **The verdict is the product’s, not the model’s.** Measurement wording comes from Prominara and ships as a probability with a range and an evidence grade. Your agent relays it. It does not compute a verdict of its own from the numbers it reads.
- **A citation rate is a measurement, not a ranking.** Rates describe the prompts you track, on the checks that succeeded, using questions that never name your brand. There is no placement to buy and none is promised.
- **Answer text is third-party content.** When a tool returns what an AI engine said about you, it is marked as untrusted third-party text so your agent treats it as evidence to read, never as instructions to follow.
- **No timeline is implied.** Checks run asynchronously and results land when the platforms answer. Nothing here states how long a content change takes to show up, because that is not ours to promise.

## Frequently asked questions

**What is the Prominara MCP server?**

It is a remote Model Context Protocol server at https://mcp.prominara.com. Adding it to an MCP client such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Codex lets that assistant read your Prominara data and take a small set of safe actions on your behalf, using your own account.

**Which plans include it?**

Every plan, and the 14-day trial. Agent access starts at Starter, $29 per month. There is no separate purchase and no extra usage meter.

**Which AI clients work with it?**

Claude on web and desktop, Claude Code, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor, Codex and VS Code, plus any other client that supports remote MCP servers over streamable HTTP with OAuth.

**Do I need to write any code?**

No. You add a URL in your client’s settings and sign in to Prominara in the browser. Coding agents offer a single command instead, which does the same thing.

**Can my agent delete or break something?**

No tool deletes data, changes billing, edits team settings or reaches another organization. Writes are limited to creating tracked prompts, running a check, logging a content change, setting a mission status and turning prompts on or off. Three of those replace a value rather than only adding one: logging a change re-points which page owns a prompt and marks its mission shipped, a mission update overwrites its status, and turning a prompt off clears its schedule. Each is reversible, and all of them are declared to your client so it can confirm first. You can also grant read only.

**Does an agent check cost more than a check in the app?**

No. It draws on the same monthly check allowance as the app. If a limit is reached, the tool says which limit, what remains and when it resets, rather than silently spending.

**What does the agent actually receive?**

Only what the tools return for the organization you consented to: your sites, prompts, recorded answers, sources, missions, measurement verdicts and plan usage. Nothing about other customers, and nothing outside the scopes you granted.

**How do I disconnect an agent?**

Open Settings, then Connected agents, and revoke the connection. It stops working on the next call. You can reconnect later, which creates a fresh consent.
