The Ranking Factory MCP

An official MCP server provided by The Ranking Factory that allows AI agents to manage AI visibility and entity data. It offers tools to read visibility runs, cited sources, evidence gaps, and business entity details, as well as write capabilities to update entity information and publish evidence. It supports OAuth and agent key authentication for account-based access, and provides a free, unauthenticated endpoint for site checks.

Endpoint and access

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 the-ranking-factory-mcp https://therankingfactory.com/api/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 the-ranking-factory-mcp --url https://therankingfactory.com/api/mcp

Cursor

Merge this server into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, then enable the-ranking-factory-mcp in your MCP settings.

    "the-ranking-factory-mcp": {
      "url": "https://therankingfactory.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cline

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