AI Search MCP tool

cite42_searchAbout AI Search

Ask any question across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews and get each answer plus the sources it cited, straight from your agent.

Overview

The workhorse tool. Your agent passes a question and gets back every model’s prose answer with the sources each cited, in one structured result, so it can reason over what AI search actually says, not just one model’s take.

Example

# you say
best startup CRM

# your AI replies
Across the selected models, the names that keep coming up are Acme CRM, Rival CRM, and Legacy CRM.
ChatGPT and Claude both lead with Acme CRM; Perplexity leans on independent reviews and cites 3 sources the others don’t.
