What is the Citedbyai MCP server?

Checks any website's AI citation readiness across 5 dimensions:. That is what the citedbyai mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

  • Structured Data — — JSON-LD schema markup
  • Meta Tags — — title, description, OpenGraph
  • Content Quality — — headings, word count, FAQ, citable sentences
  • Technical Config — — robots.txt, llms.txt, sitemap, speed
  • AI Signals — — speakable schema, statistics, direct-answer format

Getting it running

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.

How it compares

Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. It is maintained by citedbyai; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Citedbyai's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
