MCP ServerIntroduction

MCP Server

Connect AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools directly to your Asky data. Ask questions in plain language and get answers from the same data your dashboard shows.

Ask your AI assistant about your brand’s AI-search visibility and get answers from your actual Asky data. It works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and any other MCP-compatible tool.

What you can do

  • Track your brand visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews, including sentiment and average rank
  • Benchmark against competitors on share of voice, visibility, sentiment, and position
  • Analyze your sources to see which domains and URLs AI engines cite most for your topics, and find pages that cite competitors but never mention you
  • Check brand alignment down to the individual claim, so you can see exactly what AI gets wrong about your brand and gather the evidence to fix it
  • Inspect AI bot traffic from your access logs, grouped by bot, path, or time bucket, to see how often ChatGPT, Claude, and others fetch your pages
  • Dig into prompts to see how each tracked question performs over time and read the actual AI answers behind the numbers
  • Review your indexed website pages and how they perform as citation sources
  • Surface next steps across content gaps, technical issues, and social discussions, then follow them in your plan
  • Read your content drafts from the Asky library
  • Understand fan-out by inspecting the sub-queries engines run before they answer

How it works

Connect

Add the Asky server URL to your AI tool. See the setup guide for your platform.

Sign in

Authorize with your Asky account in the browser. This only happens once.

Ask questions

Ask in plain language and the assistant chooses the right tools for you:

  • “Where did our AI visibility move this week, and which engine slipped?”
  • “Across our tracked topics, who is winning share of voice and by how much?”
  • “Find pages that cite our rivals but never mention us.”

Connection details

Your tool may ask for these details:

PropertyValue
Server URLhttps://mcp.askylabs.com/mcp
TransportStreamable HTTP
AuthenticationOAuth

Authentication

Your AI assistant opens an Asky consent page in your browser. Sign in with your normal Asky account and click Approve. The session persists across conversations, so you only do this once per tool. There is no token, key, or secret to copy or paste.

The consent page shows which application is requesting access, and you can switch accounts if needed.

What the connection can do

The connection sees the workspaces your Asky account belongs to that have an active subscription. A workspace whose subscription has lapsed is not listed. Within a workspace the assistant can read and change what you can read and change in the Asky app: your brand profile, prompts, topics, tags, competitors, knowledge documents, writing styles, tasks and alignment settings, and it can start scans and audits.

Your plan decides which features are included. A feature your plan does not include, such as the knowledge base or LinkedIn discovery, answers with a message naming the feature instead of data, and actions that cost credits are charged exactly as in the app. Plan changes apply on the next call; you never need to reconnect.

Tools that change data are marked as such for your assistant, so it asks you before calling one and never uses one to “check” what it does. Every call is recorded against your account, so you can always see what an assistant did. See Tools for the full list of what the assistant can read and change.
