Citation Tracker MCP MCP server

An MCP server that allows agents to check whether AI search engines like Perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini cite specific domains for given prompts. It provides tools to monitor search engine optimization (GEO) efforts by reporting cited status, citation counts, and cited domains across multiple engines in a single call.

Claude Code

Run this once in a terminal. It registers a Streamable HTTP server. Use --scope project to write .mcp.json for the repo.

Claude Code configuration

claude mcp add --transport http citation-tracker-mcp https://citation-tracker.pixelcove.co/mcp

Codex

Run this once. Codex stores MCP servers in ~/.codex/config.toml (or .codex/config.toml in a trusted project).

Codex configuration

codex mcp add citation-tracker-mcp --url https://citation-tracker.pixelcove.co/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable citation-tracker-mcp in your MCP settings.

Cursor configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "citation-tracker-mcp": {
      "url": "https://citation-tracker.pixelcove.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

Merge this into cline_mcp_settings.json (Cline → MCP Servers → Configure). The type must be streamableHttp for a remote HTTP server.

Cline configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "citation-tracker-mcp": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://citation-tracker.pixelcove.co/mcp",
      "disabled": false
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Merge this server into .vscode/mcp.json. Use MCP: List Servers to start citation-tracker-mcp and inspect its tools.

VS Code configuration

{
  "servers": {
    "citation-tracker-mcp": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://citation-tracker.pixelcove.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run this once. It writes .gemini/settings.json in the current project; pass --scope user for ~/.gemini/settings.json.

Gemini CLI configuration

gemini mcp add --transport http citation-tracker-mcp https://citation-tracker.pixelcove.co/mcp

Claude Desktop

Merge this into claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/, Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\), then restart Claude Desktop.

Claude Desktop configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "citation-tracker-mcp": {
      "url": "https://citation-tracker.pixelcove.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Merge this into ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json, then refresh MCP in Cascade. Windsurf remote servers use serverUrl, not url.

Windsurf configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "citation-tracker-mcp": {
      "serverUrl": "https://citation-tracker.pixelcove.co/mcp"
    }
  }
}
