Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

cited

cited_api_docs

Self-serve documentation for Cited — quickstart, MCP tools, REST endpoints, error shapes, and agent-operator policies, as markdown. Args: topic: "quickstart" | "mcp" | "rest" | "errors" | "policies" | "all" (default "" == "all"). Unknown topics fall back to full docs.

cited_examples

Complete, runnable recipe for a common Cited integration pattern. Args: pattern: "python_scan" (REST scan + verdict parsing) | "agent_watch" (MCP client connect + prompt)

cited_health

Liveness check for the Cited API.

cited_report

Re-fetch a previous scan result by its shareable scan_id.

cited_scan

Run a free instant AI-visibility scan for a local business. Args: business: the business's name, e.g. "Sunshine Smiles Dentistry" city: city + state, e.g. "Austin, TX" category: the service category, default "dentist" Returns per-engine verdicts, verbatim AI evidence quotes, citations, and a `cta_teaser` on any check where the business wasn't the top recommendation — the specific fix is a paid-tier ($39/mo) feature. Rate limit: 3/IP/24h. Scan takes under 30s (single-prompt free-tier path).

cited_stats

Funnel counters: page views, scans run, paid registrations.

cited_watch_status

Check whether a business is on the paid weekly monitoring plan.

skill

read_skill

Read a product skill file by its skill:// URI. Args: uri: e.g. skill://<product>/<skill-name>/SKILL.md Get valid URIs from `skills_list_tool`.

skills

skills_list_tool

Cited — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Cited do?

It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: cited_api_docs, cited_examples, cited_health, cited_report, cited_scan, cited_stats and 3 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 Cited working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 352 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Cited?

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 Cited need an API key?

No. Cited completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Cited?

It answers our handshake in 352 ms on average, which is faster than 44% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Cited open source?

We cannot say either way: written in HTML and 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
