Available tools 8

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

best
get_best_of
The Published tools in one category, ranked (paid tiers first, then editorial merit), as a markdown answer sheet.
categories
list_categories
CitedIndex's taxonomy with live listing counts.
compare
compare_listings
Two tools side by side, as markdown: taglines, pricing, API availability, tags — the researched compare facts, honest about unknowns.
listing
get_listing
One tool in full, as answer-first markdown: the summary, then every question on the sheet with its answer, the vendor's own words for it and the URL that proves it. Identical to /{slug}.md and to the HTML page.
listings
search_listings
Full-text search over CitedIndex's Published tools. Returns compact records (name, slug, tagline, url). Fetch depth with get_listing.
send
send_lead
Send a buyer-intent enquiry (lead) to a tool or a whole category on CitedIndex. Keyless. Requires consent:true, a real name, a permanent (non-disposable) email, a message of at least 20 chars, and a target (listingSlug OR categorySlug). Returns { ok, delivered }. Idempotent by (email, target) within 7 days. Nothing here changes a listing's rank, tier or copy.
submit
submit_listing
Submit a tool to CitedIndex: url + name (+ optional note). Requires an existing signed-in account with verified email; send its session Cookie header on the MCP request. Identity and email come only from that session. Sign in or explicitly create an account at https://citedindex.com/login?next=%2Fsubmit and verify its email before retrying. This tool creates no account and sends no verification email. Returns {httpStatus:201, id, slug, status:'Draft'}; research + the quality gate decide publication. Your own (url, session email) replay within 24h returns httpStatus:200. Track progress at GET /api/submissions/{id}. No session: {httpStatus:401, error:'sign_in_required', message, loginUrl}. Unverified session: {httpStatus:403, error:'email_unverified', message, email, remediation}. Company gate: the account's address, or an address it proved with a code, must be on the submitted website's domain; otherwise {httpStatus:403, error:'domain_unverified', message, domain, remediation} — POST /api/domain-proof/start {url, email} mails a 6-digit code to an address at that domain, POST /api/domain-proof/verify {proofId, code} redeems it, then submit again. Personal mailboxes (gmail, outlook…) never prove a domain. No refusal creates a listing. Validation returns 400; duplicate/claim responses return 409. Read tools remain keyless.
subscribe
subscribe_newsletter
Single opt-in subscribe to the CitedIndex digest of new and freshly re-verified tools. Provide an email; returns { ok }. Every issue carries a one-click unsubscribe.

CitedIndex — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can CitedIndex do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_listings, get_best_of, get_listing, list_categories, search_listings, send_lead and 2 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is CitedIndex working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 65 of 65 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 170 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect CitedIndex?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does CitedIndex need an API key?
No. CitedIndex completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is CitedIndex?
It answers our handshake in 170 ms on average, which is faster than 69% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
