AI Citations MCP tool

cite42_citationsAbout AI Citations

Find which sources the AI models cite for a query, with per-model counts, and optionally check whether a specific URL is cited, from your agent.

Overview

Your agent gets the URLs the models cite for a query, ranked by how many cited each. Pass a specific URL and the result also says whether that page is cited and by which models, useful for checking if your own content shows up.

Reading the metrics

Citation presence counts returned source URLs in usable answers. No usable answers means unavailable, not 0%.

Example

# you say
Which sources do AI models cite for “best startup CRM”, and is https://acme.example/guides/startup-crm one of them?

# your AI replies
Good news: your page is cited. ChatGPT pulls from acme.example. The most-cited source overall is referenced by both ChatGPT and Perplexity, so that’s the page to study. Gemini cites neither yet, a gap worth closing.
